When 52% of the UK decided to break apart from the EU and take their fate into their own hands, they were told this would mean the ruin of this country as we know it. The stock-market would crash, the pound would plummet and unemployment would soar to an all time high. Scare-mongers all over the country prophesised that their walk to the voting booth would equal a walk to the gallows. And they were proven wrong. While the stock market and pound did take a hit, as was to be expected after talk had solely circled around economical disaster and chaos for months this self-fulfilling prophesy was unavoidable.However, against all expectations the stock market and the pound recovered quickly afterwards. Furthermore, tourism has boomed, the housing market has seen a rise and people seem as confident in spending money as before. Boris Johnson’s idea of an Independence Day for Britain doesn’t seem as far away or as scary as it might have, but instead presents a hopeful outlook into the future for millions of Britons.

What could be the opening statement?

Economy => Our rebuttle:
Didn't crash as expected
Strengthen domestic market => less dependencies
If they talk about the pound: exports?
If they say: Immigrants are important for menial works:
integration costs, solidarity in the society is weaker if there are many foreign people, there are also British people out of work

Economy:
The small drop the day after the referendum: because people had been scared of the referendum result (self-fulfilling prophecy). The worries of the scare-mongers have been proven wrong.

The EU will certainly accept sensible trade conventions even after the Brexit => They won't make true their warning that they are willing to punish the UK in case of a Brexit

No more membership fees annual: spent £13bn, received £4.5bn, net contribution was £8.5bn

weak pound => exports

Politics:
The Brexit could lead to other countries in the EU wanting to get out, which destabilizes the EU and makes the UK the politically most stable country in Europe. Consequently, companies from all over the world will invest there (UK as save haven).
Scotland will then be put off wanting to go for the EU instead of the UK => good for stability of the UK

If the EU becomes unstable, for example due to a crisis of the Euro, the UK will not suffer from that or from Brussel's unpopular political reactions following such a crisis

UK is now free like Canada, unlike Norway and Switzerland that also have to obey to lots of EU rules
