Dream on - hope you enjoy your make-believe world.

You can dis it as much as you like, you have to live in it too now.

If you don't engage with the process you will get the worst of all worlds
==============

That's a bunch of non-sequiturs:

To start with, I can hope that it never happens. Even if the Article 50
trigger is eventually pulled (which is in some doubt),

I don't think it is, that's wishful thinking

there's all sorts of reasons for believing that any notional settlement
will be put back to the people, whether that be by way of another
referendum, a general election, a judicial review or whatever.

That's even more wishful, triggering Article 50 is unstoppable.

Once it's done we are OUT (eventually), putting the final deal to a
referendum does not give us an "Oh we don't want to leave now" option.

The only way we get that option is if the EU offer us a deal to stay in
before we trigger Article 50. That looks very unlikely to happen.

Even if it's not, then I have enough pension and means to ensure that it
won't impact me anything like as adversely as it will the millions of
other rUK citizens. It _will_ be a different story once inflation starts
to bite, external investment dries up taking a lot of jobs with it, taxes
have to rise etc.

I don't need to 'engage with the process' in the slightest - I've got the
luxury of being able to highlight the sheer stupidity and pointlessness of
this reckless endeavour at every opportunity. The war has only just begun.

But fighting this unnecessary "war" harms the very people above that you
seem to care about (that's people in general, not anyone specific)

If you are personally disinterested than that's fine, but don't disadvantage
others by fighting a war that you don't care about
