Monday We’re approaching the 10-year anniversary of the Brexit referendum. Documentaries are being aired and newspaper features are being written. But one thing seems to be missing. Why aren’t all those big names who campaigned for Brexit back in 2016 now shouting from the rooftops about what a great success it has been?
It’s almost as if they are ashamed of it. Nigel Farage just moans about it having been done wrong. Although he isn’t particularly illuminating about what the right way would have been.
