Unfortunately I don’t think many would read my book on the advantages of being a member of the EU. That said, over the coming years you can bet I will be responding to posts (such as this) pointing out reasons why we should not have left.
It is very unfortunate that covid came along – otherwise it would be much easier to gauge the impact (of leaving).
The UK’s Office for Budget Responsibility has estimated the long-term economic hit (due to covid) to be 3%; in comparison they have estimated the long-term economic hit due to Brexit to be 4%.

Well the OBR is not renowned for the accuracy of its forecasts. However, if it turns out to be correct, it seems like money well spent to me.
The thrust of your argument on this particular topic seems to be that because a few ex-pats who could not be bothered to register their affairs properly in a foreign country may be thrown out, the UK was foolish to leave the EU. You support this by saying that had we remained in the EU, they would not have been forced to leave. Doesn't seem much of an argument to me.

I really can’t think of any plus reasons for leaving the EU.
I have spoken to many people who gave spurious reasons for voting leave; one colleague of mine said that his reason for voting leave was that he could not get his children into the local school of his choice.
Quite what the incompetence of the local education authority had to do with the EU was beyond me.

//If I recall correctly, Judge, it made no difference to you how much it cost because it was a matter of principle.//
How much it was likely to cost - a crucial difference. I believe it is unlikely to cost much in the long term at al and in fact I believe the UK will be far better off once it has weaned itself off dealing with businesses in countries that are covered by the EU's protection racket (which it quaintly calls its "Single Market").
I won't comment on the prospect of 50% of the population dying (only to say that many of them seem to have better prospects of surviving under the UK's Covid vaccine procurement system - which some may have died without - than they may have fared under the EU's disastrous attempts). But let's not get too bogged down. We've left, that's the main thing.
