You probably believed Boris’s promise that we could have our cake and eat it which has turned out to be another of his lies
The real impact of Brexit on the UK will only be truly evident after we leave. Whether that impact is good or bad remains to be seen

Did you ?
Yes or no ?
Are you suggesting that you believe there have been no negative impacts or Brexit was related job losses since the referendum?

We have the highest employment figures for the past 40 years since we voted leave.
Can you answer my question ? It's a simple yes or no ...

But the grim corollary of Britain’s jobs success is its productivity failure. The average French, German or US worker produces more in four days than a UK equivalent in five. In the most recent quarter, British output per hour was a mere 0.9 percentage points higher than it was a decade ago – the worst growth for 200 years. Here lies the root of the UK’s living standards crisis. In the absence of higher productivity, there is no sustainable means of increasing pay without stoking inflation.
Britain’s problem is not, as in France (where unemployment is 9.8 per cent), a lack of jobs but a lack of good and well-paid jobs. There are more overqualified employees in the UK than anywhere else in the EU; 1.4 million workers are on zero-hours contracts, some through choice. Britain neither invests nor exports enough. Its economy is dependent on rising property prices, consumer spending and financial services. Debt has been the engine of growth.
The UK is too unbalanced, too unproductive and too unequal. To this amalgam of woes, a new menace has been added: Brexit.
The above is a description of britain before 2016. Not the best conditions to face brexit.
