"It amuses how we keep getting stuff about how Brexit isn't so bad after all, when we are still years off getting it."

If that is your view Kevin because "we are still years off getting it" then the reverse is also true, i.e. "all this stuff about how Brexit is so bad".

Your views and those of many of those who put the case for remaining seem based on the premise that everything within the EU is fine when we all know that it is not. For decades it has needed drastic reform and some of it's major players have required drastic reform which they all seem totally incapable of carrying out.

The Euro and fiscal union were according to those who thought the idea up only feasible once political union had been achieved and established. The EU in its own inimitable style for propaganda reasons put the horse before the cart and did things the wrong way round. The leading advocate of the Euro is now its greatest critic.

The problems facing Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Spain, Portugal and France have not gone away. In good old EU Commission fashion the can has just been kicked down the road a little way to stave off them having to do anything about it.
