Congratulations. You've found the link to the least accurate thing anyone has ever written about Brexit.
Daniel Hannan penned a piece 2 days before the referendum explaining what life would be like on 24 June 2025, ie today.
It's worth a read for the laughs.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.
