    It won't. But as we have to find more for train fairs and bills, and we will be poorer as a direct result of Brexit, and hence less spending power, consumer spending will ensue. Less consumer spending will threaten retailers (both high street and online) == less tax take, less employment == more benefits == less money for the NHS

    Anyone see the Brexit dividend yet?

      So well all be living in caves soon then - as obviously everything will be a downward spiral.

      Or do you see the UK being recognised by a beneficient EU in the future - helping us out of our self dug hole - in return for subservience

      is that what you believe?

        Nelson's column will be relocated to Berlin.

          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
