The thing I worry about, IA, is that we have lost so much money already, so how long will we recover for any parity? Alongside this, how do we solve the heavy logistical issues (which also play to costs) from queues to red tape? This will mean those in government acknowledging they can do something about it, which may mean closer ties with the EU, but that would anger a section of the public and there would be many willing to portray this as Brexit betrayal for political purposes to the detriment of the country.
For things to get better there needs to be an honest assessment of what can be done, but so many don’t want to do that, because it would mean acknowledging Brexit isn’t sunlit uplands and critics had a point. It’s still politically lucrative for the Farages and ERG to sound off about problems being the fault of saboteurs and the EU, so they will use this over doing something for the good of the country.
And, for balance, there are many in the FBPE remain camp who have deluded themselves into thinking we can just rejoin the EU at the drop of a hat, so please don’t think I am being one sided.
