What's even more bizarre is that the Brexit supporters either failed to see (or failed to care) that Northern Ireland, a loyal part of the UK, would be cast adrift with a tariff wall running through the Irish Sea!

You may recall that both the NI government and UK voters were lied to about this, especially by the "oven ready deal" Johnson government. The problems were pointed out at the very beginning. The right-wing Daily Telegraph had a article saying that the problem of the border between Eire and NI was illusory, and that the UK could ignore it. The "deals" for trading with the EU were to be the easiest ever made (false) and that the arrangement would be like Norway++ and similar. The real result was a horrendus amount of paperwork for exports to the EU, arguments over fisheries that worsened British fishermen's catches, and overall a bet impact on the economy that was pretty much predicted by the "Remainer" camp. Have any of the Brexit principals suffered consequences? Not that I can see.
