The biggest shock for some people will be when they wake up on 31st Jan and realise that nothing has changed. It's absurd, but a lot of people genuinely believe that the 'Brexit date' is a sharp cut-off where Brexit suddenly magically happens, everything is instantly different, and all 'foreigners' leave. I was walking through a market the other day, and I actually heard a woman ask her friend 'Will they be laying on coaches to take them all back home?' There isn't a lot of understanding that a long and tortuous negotiation process lies ahead.

Regardless of whether you are Leave or Remain inclined, the level of ignorance out there is astonishing.

Did you just called an average Joe - uneducated, ill informed cretin ? I believe you might be just on point.
