Heard it all before, we've had nothing but stories like this for 8+ years. The world didn't end. Very little, if anything, about Brexit has impacted my life, and I doubt any of the above will either.
1. Without accepting the imports of hormone filled beef we’re unlikely imho to get a decent deal, something which as part of the EU we would have more ‘clout’ albeit we would be not be able to dictate terms (not that we can now) as as we’re a smaller negotiating partner im not sure where we will be able to dictate terms with partners that really count.

2. Agree, not much of an impact to me personally, but the full impact isn’t being felt yet ?

All this boils down to the Remainers wishing to have preserved the then status quo (disregarding the 'ever closer union' stuff) versus the Leavers wishing to have UK sovereignty and expecting a competent government to facilitate growth of the economy.

This sovereignty which we’ve reclaimed. What practical changes & benefits have we actually utilised that we hadn’t whilst we were still an EU member ?
