* The pound plummeting like a rock. - Expected period of adjustment.

* Xenophobia, bordering on fascism, being advocated by the press. - BBC is nothing but a continuous charity appeal.

* The gradual, quiet, handing of the NHS to private companies. - Precedes Brexit.

* Ever growing demand for food banks, most notably by people working jobs that don't pay enough to fulfil basic needs. - Precedes Brexit.

* The only vaguely viable opposition to the government self-destructing right when they're needed most. - Precedes Brexit.

Completely off-topic.

Yes, the conservatives were in before Brexit.

These things are still:

>"candidates for the UK's biggest problem"

[imdsm]

So much focus on all the potential problems, ignoring all the potential benefits. This is why the world is the way it is.

[tremon]

How much of the potential benefits were discussed during the Brexit campaign? I thought the campaign mainly focused on the (perceived) negatives of the current arrangement?

[DanBC]

All the potential benefits are blatant lies.

Brexit doesn't give £350m to the NHS. Brexit doesn't get us out of ECHR (and that wouldn't be a benefit anyway, since ECHR agrees with UK on over 99% of cases). Brexit doesn't give us control over our spending. Brexit doesn't give us control over immigration.
