Summary
Five years after Brexit, its promises of sovereignty, economic gains, and reduced migration remain unfulfilled. While Brexit offers regulatory flexibility, its overall impacts are largely negative.
The UK economy has suffered a £100bn annual output loss, with GDP 4% smaller than it would have been without Brexit.
Trade barriers have reduced exports, particularly to the EU, with small businesses and sectors like agriculture and fishing hit hardest.
Migration has surged to record levels, but net EU migration has turned negative.
Public dissatisfaction is high, with 59% believing Brexit has gone poorly.
The more old bullshit gets erased in the process the better.
Those old twats and the dumb younger voters fucked everyone over… However maybe if there is a silver lining it’s that if/when the UK rejoins (pretty much if it wants a real future) it should be on equal terms and forced to behave as such.
Maybe we could finally elevate our status from the shit stained toffs of Europe.
