Truth be told, this Brexit business is getting confusing. I read one report and it seems a certainty, another and it seems so ridiculous that I can hardly believe it is being allowed to continue. One paper says the economy is already starting to collapse, another that it is flourishing. I start optimistically thinking it will, sooner or later, inevitably implode; but it then occurs to me that I might just be reading what I want to read. I suppose it’s a position we all find ourselves in these days: it seems the truth is harder than ever to discern, especially when it comes to something as charged and emotive as Brexit. Will this nonsense sooner or later be over, or am I just reading what I want to read? I look at all these anti-Brexit pages on facebook, which makes me think the tide is turning. But wasn’t lurking in echo chambers the very thing which got us all into this mess in the first place?
