I don't know about you, but I'm struggling to determine what, exactly, Britain has managed to 'take back control' of.
It's certainly not illegal immigration, which was the primary argument in support of Brexit and the entire thrust of one Nigel Farage.
I believe people are realising that the rousing and simplistic solutions offered up by populist demagogues cover up very complex situations that are filled with nuance. Such nuance is entirely lost in the fervent calls to faux patriotism. Populists are experts at selling a vision of heady triumphalism that has little basis in reality and even the basics are now falling apart because of EU workers returning to their countries of origin.
Any volunteers with suggestions as to what we're now in control of in a positive way?
