What is Brexit doing to the economy in your view? So far we seem to be experiencing wage growth, GDP growth and low inflation.

It's going to cause breadlines, but I disagree with the OP's sentiments expressed here. This money IN is smaller than our war expenses OUT, and it was always so.

Arms dealers rip off the nations populations whose governments they sell arms to.

Why would it cause breadlines? Are people going to stop baking bread?

We did have a block of inflation move through following the devaluation of the pound. It might be low now but the prices are still higher.
