To be perfectly frank, how well or bad brexit is going is pretty impossible to tell because Covid smashed through the middle of it and has probably had a more profound effect on day to day life than brexit would have had on most people.
- jacquesm 5y agoNo, COVID just made a bad thing even worse.
- dageshi 5y agoThere's an awful lot of people looking from the outside of the UK in telling people that brexit is going terribly when honest to god nearly all focus in the UK has been on covid for 2 years with a short blip during when we actually left. Few people really talk about brexit anymore in the way we did in the years prior. It happened, the world didn't end, economic armageddon didn't occur, mostly people are over it and more concerned by covid as I said.
- jacquesm 5y agoYes, COVID has served as a nice distraction and scapegoat. It couldn't have been timed better from that perspective, but the end result is that the UK now has two major challenges to deal with.
- 1_player 5y agoInstant economic armageddon was just a rare possibility, but the impact on the economy is going to be felt over the next 2 decades, and it will be, in the Remainers' point of view, armageddon-sized but diluted over many years.
