Come on Alf, you're not a stupid guy; a deal was was not only campaigned for by leavers, but no deal was explicitly dismissed as project fear. You lived through this too. All of the brexit leaders were talking of a norway but better deal, about the eu would come to us for a deal etc.
When folks keep peddling this same bs rather than acknowledge they were lied to, then it's just crazy.
On top of that, May called a GE to get a majority so she could force through a hard brexit, 54% (a higher percentage than the ref) voted for parties that explicitly ruled out a no deal.
When you get an hour over the next few days, do me a favour and go on yt and lookup some of the brexit promises in that campaign.
You've also, and without intending to do so, explained full well why we need a final referendum with the deal/no deal vs revoke.
