that sufficient Brexiters to have swung the vote believed they
wouldn't be poorer, but that it's obvious they will be,

why it is obvious that THEY will be?

Exchange rates,

OK I'll give you that

loss of EU grants,

most of these will carry on out of HMG's budget


Extraordinarily unlikely. I don't know how many grants you've applied
for from Westminster vs Brussels, but the latter go through as a
tedious but somewhat inevitable bureaucratic process once the point
of the grant category has been established.

The former have to be fought tooth and nail as special cases, even
when funds have allegedly been allocated to the subject, except what
they fail to say is that by the time they announce "funding for..."
it's all been allocated to their pre=chosen acolytes.

trade barriers,

Not yet confirmed


But inevitable.


not if we stay in the Customs Unions

all of the barriers to trading with the EU are erected by the Custom's
Union, not the Single Market rules


cont'd: brick wall.
