Voices of Brexit: Far-reaching impact on ordinary lives

We cover multiple arrays of topics for one simple reason. The world is interconnected, and it is not only financial factors that drive the markets. Geopolitics is another major driving force behind the markets. Crowd Psychology dictates that if you focus on the tree, you will forget that the tree is part of a forest and in doing so you will miss the bigger picture. For example, George Soros is behind the surge in fake stories, the massive Anti-Trump riots and the funding of plethora of revolutions that seek to change the existing regime.

Robyn Ada McKay, 20, a bagpiper studying at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow:

“If I want to study in Europe it’s definitely going to cause a bit of hassle in regards to visas or study permits or living elsewhere.”

Lucy Harris, 27, who founded the Leavers of London social network:

“There’s a negative backlash to Leavers, because they want to ascribe a certain stereotype to us, which is we’re all racists, bigots and xenophobes, and we’re just not.”

William Lynch, 63, an oyster farmer on the Northern Irish border near Londonderry, cultivates oysters on both sides for export, chiefly to France:
