Forewarned of chaos at Port of Dover

Those who rail on a regular basis against the poor conduct of various Conservative bigwigs, from George Osborne to Theresa May and Boris Johnson, for the bad outcomes of various Brexit negotiations might consider that once the decision was taken to leave the Customs Union and

Single Market, there was no chance of anything other than the current mess.

The narrow vote in favour of Leave in

2016 allowed a great variation of possibilities, none of which were as favourable as remaining in the EU, but few of which were as bad as what the UK has now.

The Port of Dover warned of gridlock in the event of a hard Brexit. ’Project Fear’, cried the over optimistic.

Almost all economists apart from Patrick Minford (the joker in the pack if ever there were one) forecast a deflating economy and have been proved right.

Please, please would anyone who still thinks Brexit is anything other than a destructive expensive folly tell the rest of us their thoughts?
