[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 290683, member: 33"] I voted No and seeing how things have turned out I stand by my vote even more today than when I cast it. As I said on this forum at the time, even if you take out the economic argument, anything that threatened peace in Northern Ireland was not worth it. As a consequence of Brexit, violence has returned to that area after a period when everyone thought that was confined to history books. The problems however have been wider. The xenophobia and racism that the referendum has unleashed has lead to racist attacks soaring in the UK and I have personally experienced it, as I described on another thread. Supermarket shelves are emptier because there is a shortage of HGV drivers to transport goods and this will lead to price increases which in turn to lead to more inflation in the economy. So we will all have to pay more for goods and services. Inflation will likely trigger and increase in interest rates so everyone's mortgages will go up. The sad thing is that all this was predicted but people didn't listen because for them it was more important to have fewer foreigners here and that trumped all the negatives that Brexit would bring.
