It wasn't me that posted the collage of headlines claiming farming and fishing were collapsing. That clearly isn't happening, and my intention was to demonstrate that.
someone I know who is very perceptive about these things said at the time of the referendum that there would be no huge positive or negative effects initially, but that the UK would grow its economy a bit slower than the EU, a couple of percent less per year, but that would continue forever. so initially there wouldn't be any noticeable difference, but after 20 years had passed there would be a chasm.
