Or … What I meant is that whatever happens next, be it Brexit or revoke, the UK is still messed up and will be for a long time. And, completely unrelatedly, I think there should be simultaneous protests UK-wide if you want the protest to be taken seriously. One march in London does not represent us all.

This is not a time of national pride, it is a moment of deep and lasting national shame. We are unable to lead yet determined never to follow. We have nothing of note to say and yet still refuse to listen. The very forces that have shored up our self-regard and poisoned our place in history are about to erode us from within, and unless we find in ourselves the humility we’ve always abhorred, we face a brutal and potentially permanent humbling.

It's an additional cost, so it's certainly in the same area. One thing I admire about someone is if they will vote for something even though it'll financially impact them. That goes for the right and the left although it's usually a trait of the left. It goes for leavers too. I admire a leave voter who knows they'll be hardest hit but does it anyway.
I had a point but it's escaped me.
