    I'm a UK passport holder and I moved to France on 31st Dec 2020 to retain some of my EU rights.
    I am very angry that many of my former work colleagues who voted for Brexit were Irish passport holders. They thought it was funny that they could vote but wouldn't be affected. One person in a different department was Australian, he was permitted to vote (for Brexit) then he went back to Australia.
    Oddly over a million UK citizens living in the EU were not allowed to vote.

      I recall when Brexit was being pushed, commentators like Max Keiser said that leaving the EU WOULD cause hardship
      that going it alone WOULD cause hardship, but that that hardship of rebuilding your own economy would be outweighed by the independence from EU rules.
      The only reason I liked Max Keiser was because he and his partner Stacey Herbert spoke out against Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) caused by the fossil fuel industry and selfish consumers' car dependence.
      So, my question is: how many, how much of those predicted benefits of being free from EU rules came to pass?

    I'm a Brit living in Austria. I came back to visit my family the thing I noticed (amongst a few things) was the lack of staff at pub restaurants. It use to be a night out and you had waitress serving you. Now apart from bringing out the meals you did it all, get the menu and your knife, fork and spoon then go back into the bar to give over your order AND PAY FOR IT. When I asked why the change the girl told me. A lot of the staff when COVID came they went back to their countries and because of Brexit they just found it too much hassle to come back.

      So, Europeans that are facing these challenges are being called to make the rational decision to leave the UK.

    Some naive people in the comments saying "you can come back whenever you wish". No. It's fine to accept the UK back, but not under the same conditions. It would being a blatant disregard for every other country still in the EU.
    If the UK would accept the Euro, for example, then maybe. Otherwise you are setting up a bad precedent for everyone that just shows contempt for the EU. Not that it's a draconian state or anything........but as an institution, that represents a GROUP effort....you can't just have members do a 180º arguing they lose their sovereignity etc...and not have ANY consequences.

    The first step into creating a prison is to raise a fence for isolating an area on the pretext of keeping others out. The next step is control everything that comes in and goes out, and the third is to remove some of the freedoms and rights that people used to have. After these first three steps are achieved, then follows a decline in the quality of products and services, together with a decrease in safety standards.

Probably, because we also have what the French call the "Anglosphere" that pulls us in a different direction in terms of language, history, popular culture, legal systems, accountancy practice, etc., etc..

      There is nothing sacred about nations over any other form of collectivsm.
      The INFINITE hypocrisy of nationalists to complain or ridicule or insult European collectivists who wish to remain with the EU.
      If you get to separate from the EU without physically moving, then anyone in the UK is allowed
      to break free of stupid unelected monarchy and form THEIR own separate province, without physically moving.

      You are free to Brexit, but you must be forced to live in a bubble and not force YOUR CO2 emissions onto anyone else.
      I remember back in 2011 when Greeks rose up against European banksters that THAT was the motivation for Brexit:
      to prevent banksters in Europe forcing austerity onto citizens. That was what Brexiters feared. So, did that happen?
      Did Brexit prevent massive austerity caused by European bankers or not?
      A so-called "criminal" of one country is the hero/patriot of another.
      Every individual is forced into the world without their consent by their breeders and therefore has ZERO obligation
      to maintain the status quo. Therefore NOBODY has ANY reason to feel ashamed about having political views
      that go against the status quo or nationalism.
      Does the UK allow OTHER separatist movements within the UK?
      Does the UK deny prisoners the right to vote?
      If not then the UK is corrupt, anti democratic, unaccountable, declining, protectionist,

      You don’t mention the fact it is now more difficult to travel, live and work in Europe or that many parts of our economy (even those who voted for Brexit) complain about the lack of foreign labour.
      Both importers and exporters are unhappy about the extra bureaucracy which increases costs and time that has persuaded some to abandon trade with Europe.
      The trade deals that have been negotiated are almost insignificant compared to our gross GDP. Many of them are no better than what we had in the EU. In the case of the farmers they consider themselves to be at a disadvantage with some of the trade deals. The big trade deals with countries like the USA could be years away and we’ll probably have to make significant concessions to get them agreed.

      @@miked4122 Hello miked4122 The fact that the UK has maintained its global economic ranking clearly demonstrates that things are not as bad as many remainers would have us believe. The gap in GDP between the UK and France was not that great to start with, so why hasn’t France (an EU member) overtaken the UK?
      Fact is, the EU has done everything possible to scupper brexit, it has not negotiated in good faith because it knows that a successful UK would threaten the EU project. I recall that during the referendum campaign many remainers argued that it would take at least 5 to 10 years to recover from brexit. Strange then, that many are calling brexit a disaster well before their own time scales have come to an end. And just how many years of normal trading under brexit have we had? Taking into account the transition period, the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the global cost-of-living crisis, it’s been about 2 years, hardly time to call brexit a disaster.
      It should be noted that 4 out of the top 5 economies in the world are not members of the EU, proof then, that you don’t have to be in that wannabe “empire,” (to quote Guy Verhofstadt) to have a successful economy. With respect to travel, ‘yes,’ it is more difficult to travel across the EU as that organisation has applied the same rules to the UK as to every other country that is not a member; though Switzerland and a few other European countries do have agreements in place.
      With respect to me implying that the EU has a “sinister motive,” you are wrong - the EEC / EU has made no secrets about its goal to create a “United States of Europe,” you just have to take the trouble to read the organisation’s own literature. The only objection I have to people wanting to rejoin the EU is that time after time they have demonstrated (to me) that they do not understand what kind of organisation it is and what it is aspiring to become. Perhaps you would like to explain or are you going to be like almost every remainer I’ve come across and demand that I explain? As if that response in some way counters my question.

      With respect to polls you really shouldn’t take any notice of them, the only result that matters is the one at the ballot box. However, perhaps the stance on sovereignty that you see some EU countries making is due to the fact that many European politicians and citizens are finally starting to understand the EU’s objective: the creation of a “United States of Europe”. This would mean that the policy decisions that are currently made by each members state’s parliament will eventually be made by all EU members in Brussels. Ask yourself, if the UK had remained in the EU, what then, would the EU’s foreign policy have been on Gibraltar, Northern Ireland and the Falklands? If you want the UK to be part of an “empire,” to quote Guy Verhofstadt or a “mega-state” (Mario Draghi) then that’s fine by me, just as long as you understand what that would mean.
