- Exiting the EU was not good for Britain.
- Johnson's narratives will not stand the light of dayThere can be few people who have not at some stage in their lives felt that they had been 'taken for a ride" or conned.
- Yet that, I think, will be the dawning realisation of a fair proportion of the 37% of the electorate who " without, in most cases, having the faintest idea of the implications " voted on 23 June 2016 to leave the European Union.
- Now, usually, if one is conned, it is over some relatively minor matter in the great scheme of things, and one learns one's lesson.
- But when a significant part of a country is taken for a ride, it cannot be dismissed as a trivial matter from which it can easily recover.
