You need to come to accept that the debate on Brexit is still ongoing: what it means in terms of implementation and how/when it plays out.

Just because you "won" the binary referendum vote does not mean that the complexity of our relationship with the EU is resolved.

Let me make this point: for the decades when this country was part of the Common Market/EU, did you accept this as a fait accompli and shut up? You do not need to answer that
because you posted the highlighted section ,it just seems that some sections of the remain camp have gone to extremes re immigration .There will be no forced repatriation (with the exception of criminals i hope) and i would say that in reality after Brexit immigration will stay largely unchanged for the first few years until policies take effect

Can't you see though that piecemeal membership simply does not work it never has since we joined the EEC ,we have always been at odds with the fundamental ideals of the EU hence the numerous opt outs

The increase in costs of imported goods will start to impact our spending power next year when the existing currency hedges run out. The more that May talks about a hard Brexit, the poorer the country becomes as the Pound falls. We've already seen hefty prices rises from the likes of Apple and Hotpoint and more are on their way.

I'm not sure how reliable the IMF is but you seem to approve of their predictions so i'll leave this for you

The International Monetary Fund has predicted the UK will be the fastest growing of the G7 leading industrial countries this year and accepted that its prediction of a post-Brexit-vote financial crash has proved to be overly pessimistic.
