As time goes on and the fog of Covid clears, it will be these people, the ones who realise that they have been conned, that will be the ones that really suffer. The economic downside will manifest in reduced public services, lower quality food & environment standards, the list goes on.

The structural damage to the country in terms of societal divisions, generational betrayal, international reputation, empowering of latent racist & xenophobic views, etc. is significant and lasting.

A truely Pyrrhic victory.

You really don't understand Brexit, being so overcome by bitterness.

The average Leave supporter was not fooled by any "sunny upland" spiel any more than he/she was fooled/worried by Osborne's dire warning of being £4,300 worse off per year.

The average leave supporter just wanted to get out of the EU's clutches and very obviously understood there would be a period of economic adjustment.

Admittedly it doesn't help that we have a shit PM at the moment who can't be trusted to take good economic decisions. But Covid has spannered the works somewhat and the likes of you should be supporting the UK's move forward rather than whinging on the sidelines.
