The headline
"Why Brexiteers forgot about the Border"
They didn't forget
They stated they had many solutions to it
They stated that 3 years ago
Many solutions
Not one
Many

That isn't forgetting
So the headline is a lie
"Why Brexiteers lied about the Border"
Fixed that for Oliver

Of course the politicians that sold the con of brexit knew they were lying
So working on the campaign team
Oliver either "forgot" about the con brexit were selling
Or told himself it was justified
And now feels the need to cement and solidify revisionist history

"British tendency to ignore North has brought Brexit dream to its knees"

Northern Ireland wasn't ignored

Politicians make choices on their policies
Like exploiting the global financial crash with an austerity programme on the backs of the poorest
*A british choice* https://twitter.com/PandaScottish/status/1067714183519715331

"The Brexit looming before the UK today looks nothing like the Brexit promised in 2016"
Hang on brexiteers tell us David Cameron's leaflets told us what brexit promised
Or was it Bernard Jenkins & the leave campaign who claimed the authority to make government policy promises?

Versus a con sold as
The easiest deal in history

"biting realities of trade have crept up on Britain’s lawmakers"
No it hasn't
Many of them know the reality
Many of them warned of the reality
Many chose to sell a con
Many challenged the con
Oh and there is Nadine "customs union" Dorries

"In truth, there is now as strong an argument for revoking article 50 as there is for continuing down the path laid out by Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement"
"In truth"
No Oliver
That's just utter BS to get any form of brexit

"An argument is often presented by Remainers that the Leaver exclusion of Northern Ireland from Brexit discussion before and during the referendum was a deliberate, strategic decision"

"Inside Vote Leave, too, a very similar observation could be made. The Border not only played no part in campaign messaging, being that it was largely technical and thus not very politically sellable, it was also seldom mentioned in the office." https://mobile.twitter.com/BorderWarnings/status/1099013638189400064
"Historical accounts of the future will do well to emphasis this somewhat uncomfortable fact."
"Oliver Norgrove is a former Vote Leave staffer, and student in elections, campaigns and democracy"
Oh Oliver
The state of your utter entire article of pathetic bullshit
