There have been some concrete advantages to Brexit:

- Regained control of borders. This is going to be an increasingly important issue going into the 21st century as Africa is going through an enormous population boom. -No longer on the hook for the debt of certain EU nations (Italy and Greece being big ones)

It'll be interesting to see his this shakes out over the next decade. If the UK achieves some degree of freetrade with the EU while regaining control of borders and a more independent ability to adapt to changing conditions, they could still come out of Brexit up. And tbh a few hits to the City and London area aren't necessarily a bad thing imho. The rest of the country needs some serious attention (Scotland as an independent nation would very possible have the worst social and economic outcomes of all Europe).
