The Guardian in the interests of balance presumably have given space for someone to claim that because what they call economic arnageddon hasn't happened (yet) everything is OK (HERE). No one ever claimed armageddon would happen at all - just that we would be poorer than we otherwise would be.
The writer says it was project fear that has caused the problem or "put the wind up business" as he puts it resulting in a chilling of the economic outlook. Now he says the government is engaged in project everything-is-ok to restore order. He admits the UK has deep structural problems in or our of the EU but seems to think we should risk a big economic shock to cure them!
He claims Brexit has helped to make the government focus on these underlying problems but erecting barriers between yourself and the largest, richest market in the world does not seem a cure for anything. He voted leave because the EU is a failed project - but aren't all projects failures - until they succeed?
