Nobody on the Brexit side of the campaign had a clue as to what this really meant, and probably didn't expect to win. Now that the electorate have called their bluff, the Government are having to cast around desperately to find the straws from which they can construct a "plan".
"Brexit means Brexit"; not just a load of 'pony', it's a bleeding shire horse sized pile of crap.
They are politicians, they exist by moulding lies into half truths and using spin to convince the public that black is white, aided by their Fleet Street chums.
