There's no doubt that Brexit can and will be incredibly profitable for some of the better skilled and educated - a profile that matches Remainers rather Leavers.
Which is why I chuckle when thick-as-shit Brexiters say "You lost".

It's business as usual as the UK’s self-employed workers unfazed by Brexit as nearly two thirds (63%) think leaving the EU will have no impact on their business, research from Kensington Mortgages reveals.

Kensington surveyed over 1,000 self-employed workers across the UK to analyse their thoughts and concerns for the year ahead, with the formal deadline for Brexit now less than a year away.

Of those surveyed, nearly half of self-employed workers (47%) expected 2018 to bring in more work than last year. When asked whether their business would be more profitable, 42% were confident that they would make more money in 2018 than 2017, compared to just 21% who weren’t confident.

That’s not surprising, if the vast majority of self-employed are in industries or have clients that don’t touch the EU. Thinking of construction, plumbing, vehicle repairs, etc.

Worryingly then, more than one third think that leaving the EU will impact their business?

Anecdotal, but I had a call from an agent yesterday about a global template rollout role based in Germany. Three year contract, an EU passport would be a bonus. Anyone working in configuring and testing supply chains could reasonably expect to be more profitable over the next few years.....
