BREXIT denial

We have a new phenomenon to add to Climate Change Denial - BREXIT Denial - though they are linked. It was extraordinary listening to BREXIT campaigner Chris Grayling today simply ignoring businesses who said that exiting from the Single Market and ending free movement of labour would damage their interests. A celery farmer in the Fens who uses seasonal East European crop pickers was adament that as he had similar farming interest in Poland he will simply relocate his crop growing to that country to be able to access the single market free of trade barriers - meanwhile Grayling ignored the statement by a hi-tech SME that their business relies on having the freedom to recruit the best from anywhere in Europe. He just babbled on about French farmers will still want to sell us stuff. I got to know a few of KIPPERS during my days in the East Midlands European Movement, and some of them were absolutely clear - leaving the EU would cost jobs and damage the UKs economy but they honestly believed that that was a price worth paying; now that is a position that I consider daft but worthy of respect. These Tory Brexiters simply have no credibility - all will be OK because we will have a free trade deal with Australia! We have to accept the result of referendum, but respect it? Never. For the sake of our country, its economy and security, and our personal freedom, we have to campaign for RETURN.

Climate Change on the world stage by Boris Johnson

I assume that the abolition of the department established to combat Climate Change is related to exporting our prestigious comedian BoZo to explain to the world (using his well established diplomatic language) why Britain intends to ignore our international obligations.
