I'm on board with the idea of celebrating things like this, but access to visa-free travel doesn't in any sense have an impact on the opposite news: such as large amounts of banking assets being moved elsewhere, or companies making plans to move to the EU27 rather than the UK, or customs barriers delaying the ability for free trade across the NI/ROI border and Dover-Calais, and so on.
As and when they too are debunked, I will celebrate -- but, for the time being, ignoring the potential risks is naive in the extreme.

I haven't much of an axe to grind either way in the Stay/Leave stakes, but Project Fear was on the winning side in the Scottish Independence referendum five years ago. You may well be wise not to write it off just yet, Youngmafbog, especially given the utter horlicks the Tories have made of Brexit up to now.
(Yes, I do know the In/Out referendum has already happened, but matters are clearly far from settled even now!)
