Of course they will say that - they are absolutely desperate to get in and exploit the strawberry float out of the UK market, this is not a good thing to be hearing from a UK perspective!
I’d they have no solution to the Border over here congress will attempt block any US\UK trade deal.

So if we crash out, what do people think will happen? I can see massive queues at airports and cancelled flights, probably large scale protests in London. I predict food shortages and fuel shortages due to panic buying and slower supply. How long could Boris realistically survive that?

You'd imagine not very long but there were large protests under Thatcher and she survived. We could be on the way to a huge change in the way the country is governed.

We’ve already seen how quickly people can flip their opinions when it comes to Brexit. Pre referendum we were getting an easy deal that would give us £350m a week. Post referendum people now claim to have voted for No Deal and to have understood we would actually be poorer.
All Johnson has to do is claim the EU have bullied us and that amazing trade deals are on the way and the Leavers will lap it up.

Surely if it gets too bad it'll become harder for people to back him. When there are problems at airports or people can't afford to travel it'll create more of a concrete example for Remainers to point at as a problem of Brexit. At the moment everything is a bit theoretical and easy to ignore.

People have effortlessly flipped from “we’ll have £350m a week for the NHS” to “we voted to be poorer for 50 years”.
These people will NEVER admit their mistake.

But it's already "real" and people are still ignoring it or believing the spin. The economy is shrinking, massive companies have pulled out of the UK, jobs are being lost.
I think we will see some people come round and accept that maybe this was a bad idea, but plenty more will double down on this being what they wanted or a problem caused by the EU/remoaners and nothing to do with the fact that Brexit is a complete gooseberry fool show.

These people will NEVER admit they're racist.
Plenty of people whom voted leave, have admitted it is a mistake, those still on board are doing it because they are racist, nationalists.

I think some people will double down but I think a lot of people will eventually admit it's a bad idea. I think it'll take people knowing somebody who's lost their job because of Brexit or losing their job because of Brexit for them to realise. When people can't go Spain for a cheap holiday because the cost seem ridiculous that's when they'll start to change their minds. Seeing stuff about people who they don't know losing their jobs won't sway anyone.

People that still support this will never admit they were wrong.
In years to come they will either continue to say it would have been great but the EU/Remainers ruined it or they will just pretend they never supported it.

When it goes tits up then rather than accept responsibility they will focus on a group who are easy to blame. So it'll be the economic migrants, second generation migrants, non English speaking or anyone who can't fight back.
I can easily see a massive focus on crime and the promise of a vote on bringing back the death penalty. Within a few years national service will be back along with Britishness tests for anyone with a tan.
We'll start to see shaming of shops of which sell European goods. With headlines like "British farmers starve while Tesco sells German Pork"
