How is Brexit working out?

Exports from the UK to the EU have plummeted by 68%, British companies dealing with eel and lobster are going bankrupt, shelves in English supermarkets are empty and procucts that are still available cost more than they ever did.

And why? Because a handful of rich English people wanted to avoid the new EU tax avoidence law that recently came into effect. 

Margaret Thatcher knew that a single market with no trade barriers would be benificial for every Britisch citizen, not just for the extremely rich.



Why did 51% of the British people vote to jump ship? Was it sinking? Or did they actually think they'd be better of in a lifeboat than on a cruiseship?
