If Brexit is a great success and the EU falters then I will obviously be happy that it's been a great success. I've never been rabidly pro-EU in the same way that many on here have been rabidly anti-EU. It's just that on the balance of evidence, I felt the UK was better off in than out.

As you are someone who hails from Liverpool, I'm surprised you've not noticed how EU funding and the European City of Culture has helped turn that city around. Yes, the UK was a net contributor but we've seen how the recent Conservative Governments favours funding their own areas so it is unlikely this funding would have made its way to Liverpool - over 80% went to Conservative towns.
