What a time to be alive :biggrin:
Now we are just waiting for our European brothers and sisters to follow our lead. Let's get back to trading with each other, and forget about all this superstate/open borders/single army nonsense :thumbup:
As much as I hate to rain on anyone's parade, we are still in the EUQuote:

Yeah, and we'll probably never leave! :yikes:Quote:

And we will have to rely on the EU since our ships will be without missiles. Also rumours of the police and army unifying into one body.Quote:

I think it's an absolute disgrace. Glad we're out.

The remaining one is unemployment and that was already decreasing and so can't be considered an effect of Brexit either.
