Brexit has failed miserably and it gets worse every day and the UK needs to re-join the single market at least before even more damage is done. That way, likely everyone will get their precious rights to freedom of movement back. I wish the UK would wake up and think REJOIN asap.
🤣🤣🤣
A few facts for the democracy deniers:
The UK has been the only major European country not to undergo a recession since Feb 2020 or, indeed, June 2016.
In fact, the last recession in the UK occurred in 2008
Furthermore, as France enters its second recession since 2016 along with Germany and the host of basket cases Brussels has picked up over the years to make up the Eurozone as a whole, it really defies even the most perverse form of contorted logic what benefits being a member of such an increasingly malfunctioning organisation are.
It's quite apparent that the Brexit naysayers on here tend to be those who've moved to Spain to take a short cut to a life in the sun but with the need to still generate an income to exist.
Those, however, who've put the hard years in by toiling through the long working hours and miserable weather of Northern Europe to obtain a decent pension, are largely unaffected by the EU's petty attempts to stymie UK expats in the Mediterranean sun.
Y'all have a Merry Christmas now, ya hear?
Love Europe, hate the EU.
