The hit to the UK economy is up to the tune of around ?3,000 per household per year compared to where we should be, and immigration is massively up - just from countries outside the EU, like India, because we desperately need growth to make up the shortfall and to support an increasingly aging population.
It was a big experiment. Everyone's life got worse, exactly as the Remainers predicted.
The country is barely governable and has declined massively since before the referendum.
People who are particularly dumb don't understand the consequences of their actions. There is no amount of reason or statistics that will make these people look in the mirror and seriously contemplate: "What if I was wrong?"
For the sane, there is a growing movement to try and reverse the damage that was done.
For the rest, it's like pigs enjoying rolling around in their own sh*t - except actually you all seem bloody miserable, yet you still keep rolling and asking for more sh*t (Reform) because being duped once by grifters wasn't enough.
