A lot of people are being very unkind to
Michael Gove following his admission
that almost all imports and exports to and from the EU will be subject to
border checks from next year, after he and other Brexiteers have spent years
arguing that trade will be frictionless.
The critics are missing the point – this is all about taking back
control. From 1st January
next year, we will no longer have to follow all those horrid and bureaucratic
EU rules which arbitrarily imposed free trade between the UK and the EU. Instead, we will be entirely free to set our
own rules to limit and complicate trade with the EU by putting it on the same
footing as trade with non-EU countries.
It may look like bureaucracy and regulation, but it’s British
bureaucracy and regulation. That’s exactly
what people voted for, isn’t it?

Indeed.
Philip Hammond was right that people who voted for Brexit did not vote to make themselves poorer. Instead, they voted to make not only themselves but a whole lot of other people poorer as well.
Some of them seem quite proud of this.
