But it was a predicted outcome and it’s turned out to be correct.

Of course not, that wasn't a question on the Polling paper .

Anyway, self determination   is more important than individual  personal wealth .

  The U.K would have been richer if we didn't fight the Nazis in 1939 , but we made sacrifices for the common good

51 % is hardly a landside victory , slight up on the 48 % who voted at the Brexit poll to remain .

   The slight change from 48 % to 51 % would have been because all those Brexit voted who died , so peoples opinions haven't changed .

  As I said 51 % is too close to call and not decisive enough 

You are deliberately ignoring the 10% who don't know. You implication that the vote to rejoin would be 51% is statistically false. The vote to rejoin is 20% higher than the vote to leave.

Well, I was going to agree with you that it's certainly uncertain since the rising generations voted strongly in favor of staying in the EU. But apparently there are at least 2 posters here who fought in WW2. If that is typical of that generation, we may be in for a long wait.

You need to catch up with the real world.

 

Increased costs and delays to British businesses that are a direct result of Brexit.

 

There is no sense in which this is good news for the UK economy.

Going fine thanks , can be paid out of the 11 Billion Pounds we previously paid to the E.U every year

So much more money lost by leaving the EU

The Office for Budget Responsibility says Brexit will have a long-term effect of cutting UK GDP by a hefty 4%, an estimate unchanged since early 2020. The Financial Times says such a decline amounts to £100bn in lost output, and £40bn less revenue to the Treasury a year. The UK is now behind all the other G7 nations in the pace of its recovery from the pandemic, with exports by UK small businesses to the EU down significantly.

Jonathan Haskel, a member of the Bank of England’s nine-member monetary policy committee, said on Friday that Brexit was “disconnecting the UK from its main trading partners” in a clear example of de-globalisation. An expert at Imperial College on ways to improve productivity, Haskel warned in 2019 that British business investment would likely be weak for several years because of uncertainty linked to Brexit.

Figures from the Centre for European Reform show that the Brexit vote has already depressed economic growth. The independent thinktank said that by the end of last year the economy was 5% – or £31bn – smaller than if the UK had stayed in the EU.

Definitely the fault of the French.

 

UK rejects Dover funding bid for more French passport booths

DECEMBER 16 2020
  The UK cabinet office has rejected a £33m proposal to double the capacity for French government passport checks at the port of Dover, raising the prospect of long delays for passengers after the end of the Brexit transition period.

The English Channel port, which handles 2.2m passenger vehicles every year, had requested the funding as part of the £200m Port Infrastructure Fund announced by the government in October to pay for additional border facilities required as a result of the UK’s departure from the EU.

According to a person familiar with the matter, Dover applied for £33m to double the number of French government passport booths from five to 10 in anticipation of more stringent requirements including stamps in passports after January 1.

Yes, it was known and expected that the benefits of Brexit would take some time to manifest
