Where are the flag shaggers and the street parties? Where are the memes listing all the successes? Where is all the joyous recognition that ‘getting our country back’ meant liberation and a return to democracy? Come on where are ‘we told you so’s’?
Instead it’s ‘shut up, we won, get over it’ without a single success after six years.
James O’Brien’s solution for this Leave voter who’s asked him to stop mentioning Brexit:

Not a victory in sight. Just a bunch of self serving politicians and media barons… that lied.
The Dawning Reality of Tory Brexit
Despite the promises of economic success and freedom from Brussels, the past six years have seen failure after failure. Since Boris Johnson became Prime Minister it has gone from bad to worse.

NHS, Health Industry
This tracks how the NHS is doing and in particular, if the promised weekly £350 million pounds have any chance to materialise. We already know that the UK never was giving £350 million to the EU, as we had a special rebate. And of course a lot of that money came back to us to renovate towns in Wales, to pay for scientific research and to help our farmers amongst other things. Now all of these are fighting to keep the money they used to get, so there is very little chance any extra money will ever reach the NHS.

Investments into the UK
Since Margaret Thatcher, the UK has been relying heavily on inward investment for job creation and maintaining the economy on an upward growth curve. As with anything else, investors loook at potential returns and will not risk their money if the potential is too low or if the future is uncertain. Hard brexit Britain will cut itself from free access to the EU Single Market and that is the mother of all downers for investors.

Farming, Fishing, food Industry
We depend on our farming industry for some of our food and for the livelihood of our farmers. If you fly the British flag high, you should be proud of a tradition going back thousands of years. In modern times, many farmers have been faced with commercial pressures unheared of for most of Farming’s history and a lot have benefitted from the help of the EU in the form of CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) subsidies.

UK nations
The EU affords a lot of advantages to UK regions or nations. For example Northern Ireland has benefitted from peace, prosperity and freedom of movement under European auspices since the Good Friday agreement. Scotland has voted massively to stay in the EU and places like Gibraltar – strategically vital – take advantage of open borders and trade opportunities. Will we stay together as a country though?

Business, Industry, Retail
We make money selling things abroad. This may be easy (as it is now in the EU) or it may be difficult (as it is to sell in Japan, which has loads of trade barriers). Leaving the EU will make it difficult for us to do business there there, and it will make it difficult at least for a while to sell into markets we are selling in now via EU trade deals. The logistics of trade may also be affected by brexit.

Finance, Banking Sector, Legal Sector
8% of the UK’s GDP comes from the financial sector, this is a lot of tax money that helps building roads and schools, pay for the NHS and our military. While we are in the EU we can take part in the lucrative Euro (€) trade. Expect job losses and relocalisations to Dublin, Frankfort or The Hague. Then cuts in the NHS. Ouch. 20 Oct. 2016: there are more and more noises about banks leaving. Keeping this orange while it’s still only noises, but this is worrying.

In today’s world, military kit is highly sophisticated (think drones, satellites and lasers) and we need components, if not fully built airplanes from abroad (See F35 ‘one darn expensive bird’ below). How is the low £ affect all this? And we need to cooperate too, won’t our former EU partners hold a grudge?

Housing Market, Real Estate
brexit will affect all aspects of the economy, and certainly the housing market won’t be spared. The first signs of worries were already evident in October 2016 to the professionals. Uncertainty, and then economic downfall caused by loss of jobs and businesses moving to the EU will make people poorer, which will drive house prices down and you may find yourself in negative equity.

Exports
As a country, we make money on stuff we sell. You’d think that a low £ would help. Indeed it will at the beginning, but soon, raw materials and parts will become very costly for us to buy. And stuff we import will become more costly (food, petrol). If on the other hand, the £ goes up again, we lose are selling advantage. If you’re smelling a rat, you are right. Our current export successes rely on a sick currency. Something’s gotta give… CHANGED TO ORANGE January 22, 2017

Every Day Life, Holidays
Over the years, the EU has made things that were otherwise complicated such as looking for work abroad easy. Same for travel and money exchange, especially in Eurozone. Leaving the EU means added paperwork, longer formalities, abiding to rules we won’t have a say on anymore. And of course as the £ loses value against all currencies in the world, it means many things will become a lot more costly.

Blue Passport
The word ‘Passport’ is French and it originally allowed you to pass through Seaports. Before the whole European project started, our passports were blue. Brussels never imposed a colour on passports; Croatia’s, an EU member, are blue for example. Passports are seen by some as an expression of pride and nationalism.
