Seems a good time to bring up something I've talked about before:
- I want Brexit to succeed.
- I fully expect Brexit to fail.
Those two statements are NOT incompatible. Everything I have learned about Brexit tells me it WILL be a disaster.
But of course I *want* it not to be!

Why would I not? I live in the UK. Many of my friends and family do too. Others live in the EU. We're all going to get hurt by Brexit, just like you will.
Only an idiot would put sticking one in the eye of Leavers so far up the priority list they'd cheer on a Brexit disaster.

That's not the same as staying silent. Not by a country mile.
Each failure of Brexit should be highlighted, as loudly as possible. Those who brought about this disaster must own it. Nobody should be under any illusion about what happened.
Next time, experts may have a chance.

In short: it's the difference between reporting a car crash, and applauding one.
