It's still shocking how little consideration was given to preserving the hard-won peace in Northern Ireland, which ultimately could not have been achieved without both the UK and Republic of Ireland being together in the EU.
Brexit replaced a once invisible border with a universally reviled Rube Goldberg contraption for preventing an EU backdoor into the UK.
The whole Leave campaign showed contempt via indifference for Scotland and Northern Ireland, a contempt for the continuity of the UK itself.
