Something else that needs to be said again too is this. Whatever you choose to call me after reading this (I’m aware others have been attacked for noting this), facts are facts:
⚠️Brexit has happened.
❌It cannot be stopped.
❌Extending transition will not stop/undo Brexit.
I appreciate how upsetting that is. It upsets me too. But if many of you continue to claim otherwise, you’re
1) essentially spreading fake news
2) potentially giving people false hope
3) wrongly feeding Brexiter’s concerns that extending transition will lead to stopping Brexit.
As @GuitarMoog has also noted recently, the latter in particular helps nobody and may, in fact, undermine our cause by jeopardising further the already slim chance of an extension.
More critically, and I’ve said this in other contexts already, don’t accidentally turn into who you’ve opposed for years. We cannot change the facts. All we can do is continue the fight for a better future. That may lie in focusing on rejoin arguments; in Scotland it might be
people choosing to support Scottish independence via a pro-EU message. Whatever you choose to do, the message that Brexit can still be stopped can only lead you towards hitting that proverbial brick wall. /end
