May's government clearly still thinks, or wants business and the public to think, that there is a pot of gold at the end of the Brexit "rainbow". Perhaps the Conservatives think that they can win another election before everything melts down? Sorry, Theresa and Boris, but the bolt is shot and there is no happy ending. There will be very hard negotiations and a bitter pill to swallow at the end when the UK finds that its EU-supported economy will start to unravel. It will take decades for Britain to remake itself, if indeed it can. Fact is, once out of the EU, Britain will be trying to break into European trade from the outside as well as trying to negotiate new trade deals with other countries from a weak bargaining position. For all his faults, Cameron negotiated a pretty decent new deal within the EU - why he had to float that silly referendum is anybody's guess unless it was to try to fend off his Conservative leadership challengers which is hardly a patriotic action!
