Brexit always made more sense as a protest position for a rabble of Tory backbenchers. As an actual policy it is a disaster. The EU has always been a whipping boy for mendacious national politicians, not the real problem. David Davis' resignation proves this.

David Davis –
The nation wants to thank you for spectacularly wasting our time.
You have filled every ringbinder with air, every drawer with cotton wool, every inquiry hearing with bluster… and negotiations with a mixture of absence and fluff.
Take a bow. pic.twitter.com/TFHxZLPEtz

Sad that the Majority of comments are from people who work for biased BBC the same BBC where we pay their over inflated wages. We all know the BBC accepts money from the EU and does not want Brexit. maybe the 17.4 Million who voted for Brexit should withhold their Compulsory Tax/Licence Fee the BBC would fold without their money. Time the BBC was sold off. It must be worth at least £5 Billion if not more, that money could go to the NHS.
