Here's my two-pennorth for what it's worth (about E0.024 at the last count). Although I was deeply disappointed by the result, I was resigned to accepting it. Then the Leavers started to shilly-shally and go back on their promises. Then I read this by A C Grayling, someone whose opinions I greatly respect, and my scepticism deepened. Right now I think that the Leave negotiators (whoever they might be) need to give guarantees that they can make good the promises on which they won the vote. If that's not possible (and I can't see how it could be) then they should not press the Article 50 button and start the countdown. Simplistic? Maybe, but otherwise we are taking a huge step in the dark.
