Another Spectator columnist, this time Liam Halligan, tries to convince himself (HERE) that because the UK did not become instantly poorer after 23rd June everything is OK. In fact, Mr Hallligan uses the same arguments that Fraser Nelson did a few days ago (HERE) even down to quoting the same Reed Employment Agency figures. But I think he is still wrong.
I get the impression they are doing the opposite of what this blog does. They scour the papers for positive news about Brexit. However, negative stories abound and positive ones are like hen's teeth so their task is so much more difficult and they have to use the same bit of "evidence". No one said the apocalypse was coming at all, let alone over the first few weeks. As this blog title suggests this is a slow motion earthquake and the effects will take years to play out.
Mr Halligan wrote a piece in similar vein on 2nd July (HERE) making positive noises and suggesting it is Europe that is now on the backfoot!
