Script:

They are brothers and entrepreneurs, yet they hold vastly different views on Brexit. Ten years ago, Nigel Baxter was in favor of his country leaving the EU. His brother Ian was firmly opposed. Here's the brothers in 2016:

"It's up to us to provide good environments for people we work with. I don't need Brussels to tell me to do that in any way, shape or form."

00:21 
+++SOT +++ IAN BAXTER, CHAIRMAN OF BAXTER FREIGHT, März 2016 
"We agree on many issues of the EU. We just don't agree on the remedy. My view is stay in, have influence, make a difference for this generation and the generations to come."

00:34  
Ten years later, both Baxters still work in transportation and logistics. Nigel, who runs a commercial vehicle dealership in Nottingham, had expected the exit to bring greater freedom for entrepreneurial activity - and freedom from the EU's many regulations.

"I think that we have failed to capitalise on something that was, monumental in terms of a decision and such a change. I think on reflection, we should have been much more dynamic in terms of looking at cutting taxation rates and bringing inward investment, putting a big, you know, we're open for business sign up for Britain, looked at how we could really capitalise on de-regulation and really drive things forward.”

Economically, the UK has made little progress since Brexit. Quite the opposite: Leaving the EU has cost the country 6 percent of its GDP, according to a recent study by the Bank of England. Trade with the EU, in particular, has suffered. Many things have become more difficult - and more expensive. Ironically, the company owned by Brexit opponent Ian Baxter has benefited:

"We've invested in building a customs business, to support our customers in trading with Europe. And that business is thriving. However, it's thriving at the cost of, of our customers, really, and their trade with the European Union, which is not as strong as it otherwise would have been. So, it's good that we can help people trade with Europe when it's become more complicated, but I think my view is still it should never have become more complicated."

Ten years after Brexit, the idea of ​​rejoining the EU is once again being discussed in Britain. According to some polls, a majority of Brits now regret leaving the common market - especially younger people.

And the Baxter brothers? Nigel, a Brexit supporter, remains in favor of staying out of the EU. His brother is skeptical:   

02:40  
+++SOT +++ IAN BAXTER, CHAIRMAN OF BAXTER FREIGHT
"It depends what the terms were. If it was like, we can just rewind and go back to how we were, then I would vote to rejoin, but I doubt very much that that is available, and therefore I don't see the UK rejoining the EU.''

The major challenges remain. And so do the differing opinions. Yet, the two brothers agree on one thing: they are both disappointed with Brexit.
