The political landscape has been changed forever, communities and families have been divided, and the economy has been pushed and pulled, in the main, on a downward curve.

According to a recent analysis in the , the inevitable slump in the pound has hit one of France's most famous exports - champagne. In 2016, total sales value of exports to the UK, usually the industry's most lucrative market, saw a year-on-year fall of 14 percent. Over the same period, revenue from all other countries in the top five saw modest increases.
