"Chocolate teapot no good for hot tea".<p>No surprise whatsoever. What on earth did Brexiteers think was going to happen?<p>Still, at least we now have £350m a week for the NHS (oh wait, we don't) and a whole bunch of trade deals with others (oh wait, we don't) and a thriving economy (sigh).<p>Obviously Covid will be used as the fall guy from now until eternity, but it's so blindingly obvious that we've been stiffed by a bunch of nutters with some totally false sense of "Being Free Again". Free from trade, partnerships and an easy way of doing business, yes.<p>Sorry. Bit bitter about the whole thing.
