The curious case of the invisible Brexit

Remember Brexit?  That thing voted for in 2016 by 17.4 million and thereafter ignored in WA 1, 2, 3?  The new EU treaty we're currently in still granting the EU fishing rights and payments?

I was quite surprised to see someone say 'now that we have Brexit'.  Er, excuse me but we do not, we have WA3 [posts passim at the old site] and can one get any data on that?  The closest you can get is this:

... which is tied in with the Express:

What's happened of course is that Corona Masks Lockdown Vaccine has chased everything else off the news pages except for Trump going down. We too have been guilty of indulging in that whilst other causes we once fought for have been left on the shelf.

One of the disappointments is that Richard Tice and others have now swung away from Brexit and are pursuing the of course worthy children not being schooled issue - not knocking that in the least but Brexit seems to have become the invisible issue.
