Well, for a start, Britain has never been so divided since the referendum, and Brexiteers will see that as a win.
Societal division has been their undeclared objective all along.
I’m on the fence with this but there is no doubt that manufacturing has been shifting east for a long time and has accelerated in the last decade.
Hence a decline in some areas

Blue (black?) passports, duty free shopping, no seriously, not really benefited from Brexit, however as a nation we soldier on, think of the long game, when the EU eventually implodes we will be glad we got out ahead of time
ok, so its back to things that may not come to pass like EU exploding or think of the long game , maybe in 100 years time?
UK governments haven't taken any advantage of it, and have gone out of their way to make us fail.
The EU is behaving as a protectionist cartel and is going out of its way to make life difficult for us. The answer is not to give in.
The entire EU has taken an economic downturn in the last 10 years, just as we would have too if we'd remained a member.

Should we all discuss other random irrelevant crap on this thread, just as the remoaners bang on about Brexit on every other unrelated thread?
A decade on and it’s still managing to get worse.You’ll still be bleating that garbage when we rejoin.
I heard recently they were offering the same discounts we had while in if we re-joined, which they previously said were gone for ever if we left.
Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaassssse come back, we want to get back to taking your money and treating you like crap.

UK could keep special pre-Brexit terms if it rejoined EU, Michel Barnier says
Exclusive: Former chief Brexit negotiator says staying out of euro and Schengen area would be ‘perfectly possible’

"Current EU diplomats say that, while many European capitals are in principle enthusiastic for a British return to bolster EU defences and financial markets, the Brussels bureaucracy understands how attritional, complex and politically contentious any negotiation would be.
The UK might not get back the veto powers it once enjoyed as the bloc introduces safeguards on potential new joiners, such as Ukraine and Serbia, to ensure they cannot frustrate the workings of the EU. Significant budget contributions, free movement of people and a commitment to joining the euro, at least on paper, would also be required, they add.
EU ministers, meeting in Brussels last month to discuss the UK, emphasised that Britain would need to accept that the “four freedoms” of the EU single market — the free movement of people, goods, services and capital — could not be “cherry-picked”.
