Bear sh*ts in wood.
Who is honestly surprised?
This is exactly what people voted for, so the only sympathy I have is for those who have opposed it, continue to do so and have not capitulated because "they lost" and so must "get over it".
It isn't just what the leavers voted for whether they knew it or not, its what the leave campaign wanted all along. Cut our ties with EU regulation, then lower the bar & make a killing (which could be in a literal sense if scientific concerns over the quality of chlorinated chicken are well founded). I'd like to think that the PM's insistence that standards will not be lowered to appease Trump, Pompeo or US farmers, would be upheld, but then history generally shows us that money talks much louder than the people. So then I'd like to think that at the very least the chlorinated crap would be labelled as such, but then history generally shows us that money talks much louder than the people.
And this is on Day -1 of Brexit. Goodness knows what else the world will be dumping on us in the coming years as we try to panic-negotiate dozens of trade deals. It'll be fine they said. They'll be lining up to make brilliant trade deals with us they said. Chlorinated unicorn steak anyone.....??
