You just make yourself look childish and not willing to be adult and reasonable when you try such a cack handed debating device.
I mean its almost like actually leaving the EU is irrelevant in your eyes, that is the line you are trying to take.
Of course that is absolutely dumb beyond words and even though its you, I know you dont really think that. So whatever, grow up maybe?
However I was referring to actions that everyone agreed would be negative in terms of consequences, e.g. like leaving the single market, everyone agreed they would be negative because to pretend otherwise was just not a position any reasonable person could take.
So instead of trying to debate that such actions would not have negative consequences, many Brexit fans insisted it was alright because hey these actions, like a hard Brexit, would never happen. Just go back and read this thread. You can make a meme out of we will do a Norway, or it would hurt them more than us.
Now that reality is here, and its obvious the EU holds all the cards in negotiating our separation, those that insisted otherwise are silent.
