What is becoming clear is that international motor manufacturers looking to locate new car plants in Europe are giving Brexit Britain the cold shoulder. Witness Tesla and BYD who ruled out the UK due to Brexit. That's not naysayers making predictions, that's the car manufacturers themselves.

On travel, the EU and non-EU queues were of equal length when I visited Porto last month. But we did have to wait whilst our passports were stamped whilst those in the EU queue just walked through. But at least the passport machines worked better than those in Gatwick.

I think things will get slower for UK visitors with the new visa system but I think I heard this might be postponed until after the 2024 Paris Olympics.
We win some, we lose some. There’s nothing new in that.

and I don't think it particularly fair that you've called a large chunk of the voting public brain less, it's not their fault they were lied to and deceived and it's not remainer nonsense to want politicians held accountable for what they've promised, not sure why you'd think differently tbh
By both sides. It happens at elections all the time and it is magnified at referendums.
