More or less my point: the urge to forge ahead, and above all not to be painted as somehow undemocratic has prevented any meaningful debate of either what the meaning of the referendum result was, or what our future options are.
I cannot imagine history treating this period of British politics kindly.
However, if this results in a long overdue wake up call to the UK government of the importance of preserving domestic strengths, and capabilities which have been allowed to wither because apparently the market will always be infallible in knowing best, then maybe something good might come of it.
