I agree we threw away an incredible set of concessions with Brexit that will not be offered to us again. Any move to rejoin will need to be sold in very different terms to UK public - focussing on facts not fear but sadly that will be too dull and boring to elicit excitement

5/ and that requires a lot of individual and collective soul searching and honesty.

/4 Bit of a ramble and not sure where this is heading - but back to Brexit and I agree that we can’t just rejoin now, much as I and others want - there is a very long path back to EU membership but the first steps on that path must be recognition of who we are, how we got here and who we want to be

Personalities and their dog whistle soundbites - and that continues to be a feature of our politics today. I don’t begin to know how to overcome this, but at an individual level, holding your hands up and accepting a bad decision is surely the first step to progress - not more denial and shielding.

- you don’t just get to shrug your shoulders and say oops, I may have been wrong. The damage is going to take generations to repair and we need to acknowledge and accept our choices to ensure we don’t fall into the same trap again. Many but not all Leave voters were hoodwinked by a few populist /2

“They need to be protected from feeling primarily responsible to be shielded from the state of cognitive dissonance.”

“freeing leave voters from blame is also simply the right thing to do.”

Sorry but that’s bollocks - Brexit is undoubtedly the biggest political decision of our lifetime /1
