I am no Remainer, glad we are out but fed up with Boris and his lies.
You won't be able to tell for decades!
But in reality things are certainly going far, far better than our media would generally have you believe.
You're fed up with Boris?
Well most of us more sensible folk are probably far more fed up of the media's deliberate misinformation and outlook of doom and gloom.
As threads in this part of the forum alone amply demonstrate.
Try this instead of being despondent and negative:
I said and posted a while ago about UK lithium production and about a huge new factory being planned, specialising in car batteries for EV's among other things.
In that I said it would encourage manufacturers to use the UK.
Well looky here; today is news of Nissan performing an about-turn from the "we will leave" threats they've used since the referendum.
Today they have committed to building cars in the UK long-term and say:
"
Brexit for Nissan is positive, and being the largest automaker in the UK, we will take this opportunity to redefine the industry here," Mr Gupta said.
"Brexit gives us the competitive advantage, not only in the UK, but outside the UK also. Because in how many [manufacturing] locations in Europe are the batteries localised? Very few."

If Nissan see opportunities as a major auto manufacturer, it can only bode well for others to follow.
As they say; there aren't many places in Europe where batteries are localised - and that's a major part of the build cost in the new era of car manufacturing.
