We will be back m8, Brexit is all about damage limitation. we will never fully recover from it but we will be rejoining the SM+CU and all the conditions that come with it inside 10yr but I expect it to be sooner, whether the EU allow us to rejoin is another matter, I still can't believe how our politicians think they will get away with it. even the pensioners will be screaming blue murder when price rises and inflation hits after all trade deals get ripped up. Brexit will be a election issue until we rejoin.
One of the things I find particularly annoying about the Brexiters that I talk to - and I talk to a lot of them - is that they almost all (now) accept that the country is going to be worse off for a period of time, which is also (now) accepted as being for the longer term rather than the shorter. Their reason for gladly accepting this situation is always the intangible and abstract perceived 'benefit' of 'getting back control', which can never be adequately defined or articulated by any of them. This dawning reality has hardened their resolve. They see it as the famous bulldog spirit, and themselves as being cut from the same cloth as our heroes of yore. Now they seemingly all want the hardest of 'no deal' Brexits, with extreme prejudice, so to speak.
That they feel free to be so gung-ho with my/our futures, on what can only be described as a whim, is beyond forgiveness - it is an abuse of democracy.
In any public vote, it is normal for people to vote for what is perceived to be better for themselves or the nation in general, but on this occasion people have purposely voted for what is going to be by all practical, measurable means, a situation that will impoverish everyone with absolutely no definable benefit. They have willfully done this to us all. If they were voluntarily just doing this to themselves then good luck to them. This is borderline criminality. It's like the modern day equivalent of Genghis Khan's hordes having, by some occult means, obtained democratic legitimacy.
