It might seem a bit “I didn’t think leopards would eat MY face” for the seafood industry to be parading lorries through London in an anti-Brexit protest, but the Brexit campaign promised everyone lovely cuddly puppies who didn’t even need house training.
I think the total absence of any communication on problems, difficulties or trade-offs is going to bite the current UK government hard in the next 6-12 months (longer if it takes longer for travel to resume fully).
They’ll give “spiteful EU are being mean because they want Brexit to fail” a good try, but even with press support I don’t think it’ll work.
