BREXIT: It looks like the faeces are soon going to hit the fan.
How did we get here? Simple really. A cabal of opportunists, chancers and smooth-talkers managed to wrest control of the national brexit narrative. 
How did they do this? Well firstly, via friendly newspapers like the Telegraph. Boris Johnson clearly has a lot of favours to call in there - since it has in the past few years practically become a Boris Johnson supporting fanzine, printing nearly any old guff that he thinks up.
They also did it via their allies in right-wing think tanks, some of which produce worthwhile output, others seem little more than paid mouthpieces for their backer's agendas independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Look behind every idiotic spouter of Hard Brexit, every dodgy or imbecilic report, every skewed poll, every stupid newspaper article and you will see the same names and same faces aren't far behind:
They are laughing at us all. At our gullibility. And we make it so easy. It only takes five minutes on the companies house website to detect the links between all these hard-brexit supporting people. The media (with a few notable exceptions) are asleep at the wheel.
Baker and Davis and Elliott had strong links with the Legatum Institute, during the period it was producing hard-brexit promoting reports and magical unicorn theories. They used these reports to give their ideas added gravitas, to shift the government's BREXIT direction.
This process became self reinforcing - MPs encourage think tanks and 'friendly' 'experts' to produce papers that support their brexit positions, these are quoted in rightwing press, thus influencing other MPs. So the cycle renews.

Following the clique's 'sage' advice the government has lurched from one disaster to another for two years. Any sensible government made up of actual grownups would have created a Brexit commission of experts overseen by a crossparty committee to run this, but instead...
It has been passed around a tiny circle of hard Brexiteers who to a man sound like naughty schoolboys drunk on their first bottle of illicit cider.
