The tone of some brexiteers is beginning to wear a little thin. They have so little confidence that they have to continually press the case for leaving as if they were still campaigning. Charles Moore in this Saturday's Telegraph has written a classic (HERE). The headline says it all:
Only those who don't want to leave see Brexit as mind-blowingly complicated
Well of course this is true, as a five year old could tell you. And so is the opposite although he doesn't say so. Only those who don't want to remain see Brexit as very simple. In fact at the end of the article he says, "Surely brexit is in that category of things which are simple but not easy" as if it can be likened to chopping a tree down or clearing the guttering on your three storey town house.
The real question for Mr Moore is - will leaving be "mind blowingly complicated" or not? Most people, even David Davis, say it will be the most complex task undertaken by the British government since 1945. I look forward to the day Mr Moore admits he was wrong about brexit.
