Supermarket shelves empty whatever time of day or week you go, much less fruit, much less veg, prices creeping up and 100,000 shortage of drivers. Add on the extra delays for goods coming via ports, stories of food producers literally dumping their food, fishermen dumping their catches in the sea, and an extra cost for anyone that has the audacity to use a phone in Europe and it is clear that 51.89% were completely ignorant to these facts - all of which were brought up during the referendum.

But, when one can boast about having £10k burning a hole in one's pocket, I suspect that one sees an extra cost as something that is not a problem.

The 51.89% obviously. In what world would 3.78% be a small majority?

When we all return to work after Covid, the calamitous impact of Brexit will be more visible. Where is the upside? Even the entirely token "victories" that were won, such as the fishing quota and free trade, have turned out to be defeats. UK fishermen are much worse off (just ask them); we've got a free trade agreement, but the requirements at borders are a bigger issue in many industries anyway - they often place insurmountable costs on certain businesses or products so we will see those businesses stop trading or reducing product lines/choice.

If anybody voted for Brexit in expectation of these sorts of issues then they are idiots. If anyone voted for it without bothering to understand what it would mean, or actually believing Farage's "they will crumble" bullsh!t, then they are ignorant. Basic politics tells you that the EU or the other Member States would never let this be anything other than a painful mistake for the UK, and that is what it is.

I don't think the 51.89% who voted for Brexit are ignorant.

A good 0.1% of them stand to make a lot of money out of it. I can see why they were full steam ahead.
