This is not the Brexit we voted for

So said the Brexity panel on BBC's Question Time last night.

Its not the first time we have heard this, nor will it be the last.

Also, it is wrong. This is the Brexit they voted for, at least when peple elected Johnson back into power in order to implement the deal he negotiated deal with the EU. Putting up barriers with your nearest and largest trading partner was always going to stifle trade, it is basic economics and common sense, but in denying reality only makes it hurt them all the more.

As Britain struggled to get enough fuel to get them to a partially stocked supermarket, the PM, apparently unaware how stupid this seemed, triumphed a British "space program" with rockets to be launched in Cornwall and Scotland.

From Global Britain to Galactic Britain.

KFC has run out of chicken, the UK built one rocket and abandoned the project, but Johnson, as always, is about grand announcements, with no actual plan behind it.
