People tend to forget that the referendum not binding the government to start the process of leaving the EU.
On other hand, France never wanted the uk to join the eu or its predecessor the common market, as they felt threatened by them, Churchill wanted to join as soon as possible but it didn't happen till the 70s, and the uk was far in a worse state than France for that matter after the war.
People tend to forget that centralising things within the eu countries has an effect that prices can be higher, like UK's one and only sugar manufacturer Lyle would like 2-3 more plants in the EU, which would push prices down, which would push labour prices down so it's got a knock on effect, they also moaned about it that they can't import enough sugarcane cos the eu, as sugarbeat grown in the eu enjoys priority, Lyle aso forgot to mention the subsidiary they received from the eu for god knows how many decades.
Makes me blood boil, when people say that new trade treaties needs with China, who's the most polluting country on earth, has the lowest wages and poorest living conditions, all this just for the sake of cheapness.
As because the referendum not binding and the uk haven't left the eu till this day things will carry on as is. I'm not debating that people are worried but it's way too early to get bothered about it. Nobody from the government stated they going to enforce article 50, not even after Cameron resignation in October, although that's what half the eu members expectations
