Tell you what, I sure love knowing that more than 50% of our population apparently can't see consequences past their noses.

Like expats living in continental Europe using Schengen Rules that voted for Brexit being surprised they had to leave afterwards. Like come on, how can one be that misinformed as to not see that coming??

The pandemic accelerated the outcome, but everything that's happening with the economy now is what the remain camp said was gonna happen with Brexit.

Going back into the EU now isn't gonna go down how many Brits think it will, cause we sure as shit won't get any sweetheart deals - we'll have to play by the EU rulebook.
