It's crazy how much that lie eventually cost the UK. At one point shortly after Brexit was announced, they were preparing 550M a week as a safety fund to purchase supplies in case of a drugs and food shortage.
Red hats & red busses.
Something about red with white messaging
But now there will be no more Polish people moving to the UK so there!
Can't put a price tag on that! /s

Sure, but they'll be able to turn around and invest that -200 billion into the NHS.
Yup Tories love the NHS and want to make it bigger! Good voting Brexiteers. Definitely not own-goal xenophobia.

Similar to the spirit of the Statue of Liberty, Harry and Meghan are also moving to a place where dreams still come true.
But seriously, how can the British people still not reconcile that the criminals behind Brexit are basically crashing the UK, to basically massively buy out on the cheap when everything goes to hell. And not giving a shit how much this will destroy the lives of innocent and hardworking people.

They don't care. These dumbfucks want Big Ben to ring out at midnight on Brexit day even after told to do so would cost £500,000+ and set the repairs back months.
So when the US is up in growth its a useless metric because its not measuring the average person and just reflecting how stock traders and business owners are taking all the wealth.
When the growth in Britain is down, its a great metric of how much Brexit is impacting the people in the country. I got this right?
Id rather focus on more usable, close to the people metrics than "growth" and "unemployment"

TBF i think looking at GBP value is good enough to see how much you lost. I'm portuguese, before brexit, buying from the UK was similar to France and Germany. Now? It's cheaper to buy from the Uk then buy from Portugal! its absolutely bunkers. I have been getting games for like 40% discount at launch; i got a few PC components for cheap too! Unfortunately phones are still expensive because if they had such big discounts i would have bought a super high end phone.
That's a bit of a dumb comparison, economic growth doesn't translate at all to "havig those funds to spend", but the idea is right so yeah go for it. People that voted leave arent smart to know the difference either way, anything that helps them realize their mistake sounds good to me.
Weren't there additionally reports of the UK losing hundreds of billions financial assets to the EU?
Ah, here it is:

Brexit cost the UK already so much that you can barely even wrap your head around it. The 350 million pounds thing was peanuts compared to that.

The uncertainty was always a huge problem. Whilst MPs bickered and fought and schemed and generally made a right royal fuck up of everything no one had a clue what was going on, could make no predictions as to what might happen and thus couldn't plan appropriately. Obviously business and growth was going to stagnate as everyone sat on their hands.

Instructions unclear, idiot fuckers constantly paid to go on tv and blast their opinions into your eyes and ears for the rest of their careers.
In the realm of abstracted costs, opportunity always loses to sunk, I reckon. It's not simple but the basic point is relatively so, yet it's not electorally/referendumally (that is now a word) easy to ram home.
Not a fan of Brexit at all, but that article is just plain misleading. Have a look at this reddit thread for some more incisive comments:
So frustrating. They lost all the arguments so they had to resort to claiming that this was their position. Yet they still won.
If all those things do end up happening I'm sure they'll take the resulting poverty on the chin and won't look for other people to blame in an angry and stupid manner.
The irony when you look at the place of the British Empire in history.
Gonna steal a few pallets to get a start on fortifying my flat. Already got an old tyre to cut up for pauldrons, not sure if I want to go with spikes on it or not. Rounding it out with a couple of ikea knives.
I'm thinking a fairly basic ahahaha-style laugh but trailing off into coughing. Gotta have your custom laugh to make Brexit a proper soulslike.
