The economic reasons for abandoning Brexit

If you were doubtful about the claims for a post-Brexit nirvana, but on the other hand did not trust politicians or ivory-tower economists, then the "Three Blokes in a Pub" podcast is for you. Five episodes are available so far on YouTube. These are three people with practical experience of working across borders and not all would have their financial interests damaged by Brexit! If you do not have time to sit down and watch five hours of the beer-fuelled chat (and I must admit that there are long repetitions in the middle episodes), at least see the first half-hour of episode 1 and the whole of episode 5, where the three blokes (the just-in-time driver is replaced by an engineer) visit Southampton. Discussing what they learned at the docks, they are joined, unsolicited, by a former health service worker who brings her knowledge to the table.
