Brexit brothers remain convinced a decade on from EU referendum

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : "Our business has grown tremendously since Brexit.
52% : And with 10 years now passed, they both remain convinced they voted the right way, one to remain in the European Union, and the other to leave.
48% : A decade ago, the Brexit vote split a nation and divided two brothers each with their own haulage business in Nottinghamshire.
47% : In a referendum on 23 June 2016, a slim majority of Britons voted to leave the EU - ending a relationship which had been in place since 1973.
46% : But "frustrated" Remain voter Ian Baxter, chairman of Baxter Freight in the city, said: "If people had grievances before Brexit, they have them double now."
46% : Brexit meant Brexit - not that anyone at the time knew exactly what it would entail.
45% : But 10 years ago, Nigel's brother Ian held fears trade would be slowed by red tape, telling the BBC: "I'm in the European freight business and I know the damage that will happen to our exports if we leave the European Union.
33% : " He added that moving back into the European Union would move the UK "back into something where we've got no control, no real influence, just a damaging bill and damaging restrictions - all the things I hate".
30% : As the country marked the 10 year milestone, he said: "I'm a bit frustrated because I think we've seen that the claims made by the Brexit campaign weren't correct and I think we've ended up in a place where our cost of living has gone up, our trade with Europe has gone down, immigration has spun out of control, there are more regulations, there's more bureaucracy than there was before, and if people had grievances before Brexit they have them double now.
