    What on earth kind of fever dream did I just read? This looks like it was written with the power of hindsight to be able to present the exact inverse of everything that happened, yet somehow wasn’t.

    Seriously, this reads like a time traveler trolling us on the long con.

      It really is a bizarre document. I could understand a wishlist or even a future tense fantasy, but the way they wrote it in past tense from a future vantage is just bonkers. It’s so weird.

      But looking at the dates it was published a couple days before the actual Brexit vote, which they expected to lose, so I think this was meant as a tantalizing fantasy to use to chide people once the vote failed. But then it didn’t.
