Brexit silence is deafening

摘要

Two decades ago, I spent a couple of years writing dire warnings about planes falling out of the sky, the army keeping the peace on the streets and the lights going out across the world. At midnight on New Year's Eve 1999, nothing happened. The Millennium Bug was mainly hype and not much reality. So you can understand to some extent why the ardent Brexiteers are ignoring the warnings of the severe economic downturn that Brexit, whether with or without a deal, will impose upon the UK.
