    Didn’t they say that they wouldn’t never do something like this when they were talking about “muh brexit benefits” and that it was all “project fear”, or am I misremembering?

      I have no clue if they said that, but it doesn’t even matter if they promise so, because it’ll be done by different people in a future term.
