    Given that Brexit will not give us "back" control over things we always had control over - immigration, sovereign parliament, borders, etc, then the only tangible thing where changes will be seen is the economy.
    Any other changes could have been made while remaining in the EU, although the xenophobes and Wailers won't admit/accept/understand that.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      But there are many other factors which affect the economy - not just Brexit.

      and the general thought is that initially after Brexit the economy may shrink a little but then will start to grow.

        Not true, and a generalised statement with no evidence. Who is having this "general thought"? What do they mean by "after Brexit" - which type of Brexit are they referring to, as the results differ dramatically when comparing BRINO to No Deal.

          Well 'after brexit' means when we have official left with or without a deal.

          So after Brexit it is assumed the economy will shrink - to counter that people will find ways to make it grow - much like they are doing now.

          It may make it more difficult in the short term but I am confident the good people of the UK will find away to make it work to their advantage.

          From what you say it seems you have already given up.

            But you have no suggestions how, or examples of "much like they are doing now"

            Just more empty words

              Of course it will eventually start to grow again, I don't think anyone is questioning that. My issue was with your exact words: "may shrink a little". It also may shrink a lot. But if the economy is not your primary concern then there's no point talking about it.

                Indeed. The issue is who runs the UK. And it is clearly better off run by Brussels give the last few months in Westminster.
