I’ve a confession to make. Post-referendum I didn’t care that much if we left the EU - it’s nowhere near perfect. Now I realise the damage it will cause. Some will be short-term, hitting the poorest hardest, some, in terms of global status, we will never completely recover from.

Unbelievable that a person of your background and education would not be aware of the implications prior to the referendum. You somewhat sum up the absurdity of it all - ignorance, complacency, realisation, panic and resignation.

Unbelievable that people like you appear unable to read. It’s says “post-referendum”. Before the referendum I campaigned to Remain. I voted Remain. But both sides mounted such a dreadful campaign I reluctantly accepted the result. There is too much heat & not enough light.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, but the Academic discussion on potential impact of leaving EU in various ways was out there & not administered by Remain campaign. Problems on e.g. WTO, GFA, implications on Finance & Banking or supply chains. It shouldn't be new for you.

Doesn't change the fact that it was known and researched, it was out there. So the point is rather that you as a person didn't know. Why did you campaign on something before engaging with it?

We still don’t know what the consequences are going to be. It’s an emerging picture.

Sorry, that should be “full consequences” as inferred by “emerging”
