Yet the worst case scenario was never Government policy. Two different deals were.

Well I'm not on that list.

I didn't vote for it and I did think "the Establishment" would overturn it and they did certainly try.

However it's done. Making it work is more important than raking over old disagreements (in my view) but I don't find it credible to argue as some have that all businesses should have prepared for all outcomes.

There's a responsibility on Government here to support businesses - if it's to succeed it's on the backs of these businesses simultaneously retaining as much trade with the EU (the importance of tariff free trade after all) and grow trade with the rest of the world. If non-tariff barriers hit business that hits the chances of success of Brexit. That hits us all.
