You won, get over it

After a post by David Alan Green this morning, I think its worth saying a few things regarding Brexit.

Brexit has been done.

It is over.

Vote Leave and the Brexiteers in the ERG and elsewhere won, they got the Brexit they wanted.

Although we did say'll they'll regret it.

So, there is no Brexit, there is no remain. THere just is where we are.

And the same person who negotiated Brexit is the person who is now saying what a crap job he did and it has to be redone.

As a country, for our jobs, our children's, our economy, for our sanity' sake we need to, as a country, move on.

The current deal is the new reality, and we need to, as a country, accept that.

Politics, the media and us the public need to accept it, and try to make what we have, work.

If, as a country, in ecomomics, politics and in how we deal with each other, cannot move on, it will poison all aspects of life until we do.

On Monday there was a select committee where the person who negotiated Brexit and several Conservative MPs who ratified Brexit all agreed how bad Brexit was and had to be changed.

That they saw nothing mindboggling in this and how stupid this must seem to the outside world, then, I just don't know.

Brexit is here, reality is here, we need to deal with it. And move on. And grow up.

If that means Frost being replaced, so be it. If that means new leaders for the two main parties, so be it.

But please, lets just get on with our lives before it gets any worse?

Additional:

There are two realities no amount of jingoism can change:

1. Is trading gravity. In that you trade most heavily and economically with your closest neighbours.
2. Geography. As above, no amount of trade deal with countries around the world can make the country better off than trading with the EU.

The only priority should be to normalise relations with the EU and rebuild trust.
