We are already a bit of a laughing stock for voting Leave and now BoJo is making himself and Michael Gove even bigger ones. The New York Times has a piece about Brexit and seem utterly bemused to learn the Leave campaign had no plan (HERE).
The writer says it looks as if they were not prepared to cope with the consequences of Brexit and seem surprised they actually won.
It was a surprise. Imagine any nation opting for some unknown status, any status at all, provided only that it wasn't the one they had at present. Only North Koreans, one would think, would do the same.
The NYT article goes on to describe their performance as "faltering" and their credibility "undercut". It also mentions the "walking back" of the many populist and exaggerated claims on immigration and the £350m - a figure which both Boris and Gove will have round their necks until the day they die.
