Seems time to move on unless there is somethign new or useful to add.
Yeah the vote was 8 years ago but nobody knew what would the actual outcomes would be until several years later when bullshitting Boris gave us a crap deal. None of the promised benefits materialised (“Food, clothing and footwear will be cheaper” etc) yet plenty of the negatives are with us.

2 people I know had businesses that exported specifically to Europe, both closed down due to the extra costs and paperwork as a result of Brexit.

My daughter graduates this year and an ideal large multinational company has already provisionally offered her a job in the autumn but have made it clear her options for progression are limited due to Brexit. There will be other jobs out there naturally but this would have been ideal as a long term career.

Now she views it as just a stop-gap.

So yeah, I’m pretty pissed off with Brexit.
