Once the vote had been counted Brexit was going to happen … the train of events had been set in motion and nothing could stop it … it being ‘done’ was inevitable … and so it has proved … Brexit has been ‘done’.
Whether it has been ‘done well’ is another matter … that was Boris’ responsibility … and he’s effed it up big time. 😡

Ok, so maybe Brexit is done in that we are no longer a member of the EU - except NI is a little bit. But trying to pass off something that is the most damaging thing to our economy since WW2 as an achievement beggars belief. TB did achieve much for the country and that Labour govt. was firmly on the side of families. Until TB became enamoured by big business (PFI) and Murdoch. We'll leave the Iraq war out of it - that was just wrong and there are no excuses for him doing that. But then, I'm still reeling from losing John Smith.
You can't tell the result of Brexit yet. It will be decades before the true effects are seen. I know how I think it will pan out, but I no more have a crystal ball than anyone else. Fracturing the EU was not good, but if the UK leaving in some way strengthens the EU, then maybe it will achieve something. Brexit didn't only affect the UK.
To me, TB was like Thatcher in as much as he ended up believing his own publicity. Power and the pursuit of it, messes people up - it completely bu*****d up Boris from birth.
So Brexit was all about long term planning was it? Oh well, I shan't live to see the benefits. TB's refrain of 'things can only get better' didn't last long. And after 12 years of Tory misrule things have got a helluva lot worse.
No, I don't thin k it was. As in most things I would guess that a few people made and will make loads of money from it, and a few people wanted to 'control' and just hated that the UK had to apply EU legislation. That hurt their pride. But irrespective of the reasons behind Brexit, the ramifications will take decades to fully filter through - much as the effect of the EU on the UK took decades.

My curmudge is that the forecast showed dry weather all day. Halfway through the morning, heavy rain. Now l'm indoors having lunch, the sun is out 🙄.
I agree with you @punkdoc . But then, the others haven't been up to much since I've been able to vote (1985).
