      In other words you were fooled.
      All that bullshit about "EU dictatorship" and "EU regulations killing business", was just that, bullshit.
      All governments dictate what you can and cannot buy, that's one of the primary purposes of government, to regulate markets. You will never find a government that hasn't passed legislation making some products illegal to buy,. For example you can't buy nitroglycerine or cocaine at the local chemist because our "dictatorial" government has passed legislation making it illegal.
      When Margaret Thatcher forced the EU into creating a single market for goods, capital, services and jobs that meant unified regulations, which meant that every EU country had to change its legislation for product standards and sale of goods and services and so on. Regulations make it easier to do business.
      Many of the standards adopted by the EU came from UK standards because UK standards were so well documented. So the UK had to change standards the least, but complained the most.
      The EU was not dictating, the UK was the prime driver of the EU Single Market, we were dictating to other countries. But because we had to change rules to comply with the EU single market that created an opportunity for unscrupulous politicians to claim that the EU was 'dictating' over us.
      Those unscrupulous politicians have zero interest in making life better for ordinary people in this country, they're only interested in boosting themselves. If that isn't obvious you need to do some hard thinking and observing.
      And the other thing that's completely bonkers about Brexitists, they bang on about 'freedom' and getting government out of regulating business, and then demand the most severe form of getting government into running business by having government dictating who businesses can and can't employ.

Remember how Westminster said that we (Scotland) were running out of oil and wouldn't be able to pay our way, and yet, after the referendum, the suddenly 'found' all those gas and oil fields? They can't pull that stunt again till the majority of Scots have forgotten about it. Seriously though, why would we fight for Independence from England, only to hand all that control (and more, a lot more) over to some fat bankers in Brussels?

    Amsterdam also felt the effects of Brexit. House prices rose dramatically as many foreign financial institutions moved from the UK to Amsterdam. In 2021, Amsterdam already received 40 financial institutions from the UK. As a result, many expats settled in Amsterdam, causing house prices to rise. In addition, the EMA (European Medicines Agency) moved from London to Amsterdam. About 60% (mainly EU citizens) moved with the EMA. After that, Amsterdam also attracted many more international pharmaceutical companies with even more expats. In 2021, a house in Amsterdam cost an average of €430,000, today a house costs €635,000.

      Strange as the number of jobs in the the London financial sector has increased since Brexit and so have the tax revenues. Far, fewer jobs moved than forecast and many EU firms have had to move to London to access the markets.
      London maintains its lead in the largest market, the Forex market. It increased last year by 14% to 3.4 trillion dollars a day (incredible numbers!). Paris for comparison is at 214 billion and Frankfurt below that.

As Victoria Newland said " we ( the CIA ) invested $5 billion into Ukraine since 2004 F..k the EU we will put our man in."
      Russia took back Crimea ( 70% Russian folk ) 20 % Ukrainian 10% Tarter.
      America then converted Ukraine into a defacto NATO state with armaments and missile silos threatening Moscow. Minsk 2 agreement ignored . Putin requested security guarantees from America in December 21 that were rejected. Russia invaded with just " 100, 000 troops" said General Syrski. Just enough to get Zelensky to the negotiation table in Ankora. Boris was sent by Biden to cancel the generous peace terms and we reaped what America and Boris sowed in April 2022.

    I'm in my seventies now and I have to say that living in Britain now is quite horrible. Everything is SO expensive, there is a shortage of goods, of staff and of hope for the future. It's as though people here have almost given up... now that the country as gone back in time to the 1960s.
    I was given a wonderful opportunity in 2004 when I moved lock, stock and barrel to France, with the EU there for me at every turn. I took advantage of what they had to offer me - money, language skills, management skills, re-training skills, French culture - and made a wonderful success of my business there. I'd made so much money, that (providing I didn't go too mad with the proceeds that I had made) I was able to retire at age 55 and then start another smaller business in Spain by way of a little interest.
    And I did this all on a whim... young British people - ANY British person - can no longer do that as they said in their vote of 2016 that this was not they wanted. They preferred to do things their way. Independently. To become a little island at the side of the richer group of countries in the world. And just look where that decision has taken them.

    Interesting the car manufacturing dropping 41% from 2018 to 2022.
    Germany dropped car manufacturing by 39% over the same period. Very similar numbers and Germany car manufacturing companies are crashing right now. Seems to be a common issue.

      Ah, the classic 'but Germany!' whataboutery. The UK would wish it had Germany's credit rating, GDP per capita PPP, or debt/ GDP ratio. And also: whatever happens elsewhere doesn't make the UK's economy function better all of a sudden, does it now? Pointing elsewhere while shouting "look over there!" doesn't solve the UK's problems. But nice try.

    Always remember the referendum was merely a non-binding suggestion to the elected politicians, who interpreted the true meaning of Brexit as hard, soft or suicidal.

    Can you do a video on what's happening, by the numbers, to the top lines, e.g. revenue drops by x%, demand weakened by y%, # company closures, etc.? The fact that EU workers have left was kind of an intended consequence anyway and, while the staff shortages are unfortunate, it's the dropping top lines that will dictate whether or not this has worked (I suspect not but the numbers to prove it relative to similar economies are actually not so easy to find).

    There are even more difficulties arising from Brexit that a survey like yours cannot show because it would take so much time to outline. It is surprising that the new Labour government is so reluctant to even mention it in its quest for "growth" they say they need to get out of the Brexit quagmire we have ended up in.
