Wow, that's quite the personal attack there. One of the things we learn in Economics is short run versus long run. Yes, Brexit is causing and will continue to cause a great deal of short run pain for Britain, but in the long run I believe it will prove to be the better choice. The problem is that we all want things to be great and pain-free in the short run, and in the long run. But almost by definition that isn't possible. There are always trade-offs. If you over consume today on credit, you will be paying a future premium for the short run easy living.
The point is, attacking someone personally, for their opinion that the long run gain will outweigh the short run pain of Brexit makes you look less informed, and more like someone who (without critical thought) believes the media propaganda: which focuses exclusively on the short run pain of Brexit.
