The only people who are going to benefit from Brexit are the wealthy. The other 99% of us will suffer. Good job Brexiteers...

I'm not wealthy at all, in fact I would say I'm between poor and middle class (but nearer to poor).
Please give me a few examples how I will 'suffer'.

Farming and Fishing will be the first to suffer, the UK, along with everything else, can't afford to subsidise those industries to the same level they are from the EU. That means labour intensive jobs. That means higher food prices at the checkouts.
Agree with your comments.

The government have already said they will keep the farming subsidies when we leave the EU.
If you really care for our farmers (particularly small family run farms) then you will want us to leave the EU. Go check some of the farmers forums and from what I see many are for leaving the EU.
The Labour party started privatising the NHS and the Conservatives have carried on (while in the EU). Both parties also supported staying in the EU in the referendum. So don't tell me there will be more privitisation if we leave the EU. To stop privatisation of the NHS we need different parties and politicians in government.
Blair urges Germany to help foil Brexit
Tony Blair stepped up his battle to thwart Brexit yesterday by urging
Germany to do everything possible to stop it
The former PM urged German chancellor Angela Merkle to prevent the
UK from leavingthe EU.
With less than a year to go until the formal Brexit date, Mr Blair warned
"It would be a mistake of historic proportions ... Europe especially Germany
has a lot to lose.
It is in all our interests to maintain barrier free trade across the continent,
and to hold liberal democracies together at a time of authoritarian resurgence.
He added Germany should do what it can to keep the UK in the EU. The most
important thing is to leave the door wide open if the British people decide to
reverse their decision by a vote on the outcome of the negotiations.
He said Germany could play a key role in reversing the decision to quit if it
joined forces with France to push for european reforms that may appeal to
British voters.
Mr Blair said "I very much hope the new German and French governments will
take a leading role in spearheading reform of the EU.
Mrs Merkle has previously described Brexit as *deplorable* but admitted the
EU wanted a close partnership with Britain in the future.
