Brexit and currency exchange

I know it’s the ‘trendy’ thing to blame Brexit for everything that goes wrong but I have a question.

When I went to France in 2010 I remember getting 1.06€ to the £. I was in France last month and got 1.13€ to the £.

If Brexit is so bad and businesses are closing because of it why didn’t they all close in 2010?

Also, for a further example, when I moved to Canada in 2012 we got 1.56$ to the £. It’s currently at 1.80.

How exactly is Brexit killing us right now?

I have no particular axe to grind on either side of the argument but I do suspect that our media are not wholly honest with us.
