>>So what's in it for us? (Genuine question)
The majority of people who voted for Brexit were not motivated by economic advantage, They were driven by either a fear of the EU and foreigners in general, a need for a scapegoat for their own failure or some belief that the UK could become an empire and the world would worship us and beg to trade with us.
There is little point in asking them what they were after and then expecting them to put it in economic or financial terms. Or indeed any point in expecting them to be swayed by impending financial or economic disadvantage.
As it was the EU that did them down before, it will be the remainers who did them down this time. Hence their deep-seated need for silly nicknames to begin their self-justification process.
It's infuriating that they cannot see either the hypocrisy or the ridiculousness of their position, but we might as well get over it. They have neither the will nor the wit to change.
