It really is a bizarre document. I could understand a wishlist or even a future tense fantasy, but the way they wrote it in past tense from a future vantage is just bonkers. It's so weird.

But looking at the dates it was published a couple days before the actual Brexit vote, which they expected to lose, so I think this was meant as a tantalizing fantasy to use to chide people once the vote failed. But then it didn't.
