Is a true Brexit really practical or possible? Everything works well with trade so why upset it all? If it ain't broke don't fix it.
There are so many different versions of Brexit

It is all a wasteful and wrong diversion from tackling the number one threat to all life on earth, viz human induced climate breakdown.
It is costing billions in paper, to-ing and fro-ing and, with all the hard work in preparation.
There has to be many more years of renegotiating trade deals once we do leave. I think this is a complete waste and diversion of tackling climate breakdown and resource depletion.
The more we spend, the more fossil fuels we use and the more greenhouse gases are emitted to enhance, catastrophically, the natural greenhouse protective layer.

It is putting the Good Friday Peace Agreement under strain. Republicans do not want anything that will distance themselves from the Republic of Ireland or make things even slightly more awkward and slower in crossing the border. Jan 2019 car bomb. March 4 letter bombs. The murder of Lyra McKee. It could lead to the 'The Troubles, Part 2'. Certainly, smuggling will be given a nice boost to help the coffers of the criminal and violence wins fraternity.
Any excuse for the men of violence to restart the troubles. England may not escape.
Measure twice; cut once. The basic principle of all construction from engineering to sewing.
A second referendum is needed to check out whether this really is what the British public want, now we are a lot wiser about the intractable problems involved.
The debate on Brexit did not really start until AFTER the referendum.
For some voters it was pure pot luck how they voted. Many did not know which way to vote.
Have we learnt anything over the last three years?
Are we not better informed over the conundrum of the Irish border that never got a look in before the do or die referendum?
Such a momentous decision should never have been left to a narrow, "1% margin is enough" to decide it. It was never like that over the referendums held over devolution for Wales and Scotland. They were not rushed. Membership of the EU is even more important than an assembly or a parliament for those two countries that took years of voting in the 1990s.

Two smaller countries on the periphery did not want to come out of the EU. Only England and Wales wanted out.
52/48% to leave was not nearly enough to justify the vast expense and disruption incurred when things were working smoothly.
This is all a throw back to colonial days when we ruled the foreigners, we knew best and were a cut above the rest. After all, we did have the biggest and longest running empire in the history of humanity.
Our successful and glorious past leads us to think we can do without the EU. Our Royal Navy ruled the waves and our Brave British Army kept the native hordes in the colonies under control. We can do it again without any membership of the EU.
Brexit was partly an anti-immigrant, anti foreigner vote. We heroic Brits came racing to Europe's 'rescue' twice in the last century. Hence, we never joined at the beginning. To reflect this superiority, we are the only nation with 'Great' as part of our name. We great, peace loving, Brits are just too great for the war mongering Europeans! Why do we need them? (tongue in cheek)

A week before the June 2016 referendum, Jo Cox was murdered by a pro white racist. I think, she would still be alive today if it had not been for the referendum.
Europe is showing immense patience, forbearance and still wants us in!
So many Germans I have met genuinely love us Brits! What on earth for? Some even sent us an official, German government backed, 'love' letter in 2018!

Brexit has too many pitfalls, too much uncertainty, too many risks - especially to peace in N Ireland; offhandedly and so typically dismissed as Operation Fear by the English who have never had much interest in the too often, most unfortunate history of our unwelcomed involvement in Ireland down the centuries.
It is a most unfortunate diversion from reversing the troubled earth turning into lifeless venus horror show.
