While I commend your style, Ben, I find some of your points quite lacking. For one thing, you've done nothing to support the argument that the UK isn't in a worse position since/because of Brexit, only poked a bit of fun at those who have claimed the opposite (your caricatures are of course well-picked). Secondly, you've highlighted an undeniable conspiracy by some to stop/reverse Brexit, but you completely ignore the well-documented Tufton St conspiracy which headed and bankrolled the entire campaign in the run up to the referendum.
Lastly, the reason I'm commenting, is your complete disregard ("I don't really care") for Boris Johnson's dishonesty and complete lack of integrity. The devious self-servant has completely abandoned any duty to his constituents and instead spent the last year making his millions privately, completely demonstrating to anybody who, apparently like yourself, hadn't already realised that it was all opportunism for him. Nobody is trying to 'unperson' him - rather, we should all just recognise him for the terrible, egotistical person that he is.
Really enjoyed this piece. So refreshing to hear the increasingly rare sceptical view. JRM will be next to be unpersoned though he may prove harder as substantially well off and independent and highly articulate.
