I notice you quote the article verbatim from the Daily Express without accrediting.It's an unknown civil servant's 40 year old predictions of hazards he thought might happen. So what?
I remember it at the time
Makes no difference to the way I voted because I realized that fact years before it was released.

And it turns out it was intended all along.
The remainers believed that the brexiteers voted just on the immigration issue, but for most voters I spoke to, could see that it is an undemocratic layer of bureaucracy that should not be necessary in order to trade with our European neighbours. And to all those remainers who think that we voted to exit Europe, on the contrary, we voted to exit the EU not Europe.
It's always worth bearing in mind that , in Politics as in business, there is likely to be a large amount of Snake Oil in all the selling which goes in to winning a vote.
