What a lot of pathetic whingers. There will be a boon in uk trade. And the poor will always be poor. It is what it is.

Get on with your lives.

The Brits were inveigled into voting for Brexit so the City of London could continue to benefit from laundering the lion's share of the world's dirty money, without the increased scrutiny which Brussels started planning about ten years ago.

As a UK Citizen/Resident who voted to Remain, I have come to accept the situation as it is, no point getting wound up by listening to Brexiteers, these type of topics do nothing except churn up bad feeling, we are where we are best to live with the consequences and move on. I used to come to Spai...

...n for 5/6 months rent an Apartment (Spending 3K+Euro on rent) Golf for 5 months spending 2KEuro, using shops, bars & restaurants probably another 4KEuro, enjoyng my time trying to mix with all communities, now I might just be able to do that for 3 months in one go, alternatively I'm looking at spending my 5/6 months in Cyprus where they are not part of Shengen Agreement as another possible option, there are no winners in this whole sham.

Firstly a democratic vote took place of which not could be said of most of the votes in the European Parliament over the last 5 years. In the last 12 months major accusations have been made in regard to corruption in the European Leadership by most of the Partner States.

In regard to positives this is not a short term view and we will not see the benefits for at least 2 - 3 years but the £70bn European Recovery fund we would have to contribute to and not get any benefit from comes in fairly handy....

Travel for those of us born BE (before euro) most of us travelled on a thing called a UK passport and we were not subject to any negative treatment at borders - in fact some of the comments I have seen in this thread are strange as every time I have flown into any Country since 1966 (including Gibraltar as I have worked there many times) I had to show my passport.

With the internal self destruction of the EU by ponzi style loan agreements to countries that have defaulted many times in previous currency agreements I am glad we are out.

I know you are going to say I am a little englander and all that comes with it - but not true I have lived and worked in France, Belgium, Gibraltar, Cyprus and most of the Middle East so I am not blinkered in the UK's potential issues and weaknesses. The UK exports around 40% of goods and services to the EU and 60% to the rest of the world in WTO style deals to which another 58 deals have happened in the last 2 years with the single biggest deal with Japan since 1958.

It is a shame that we have left the EU but it is not the EEC that we agreed to join in 1973 it is fat and full of people that continually deal their own cards with no oversight. After the Treaty of Paris in 1951 the freedom of movement act was introduced to allow Miners and Steel workers to freely move between any member state to find employment with this being extended over the years to any workers until the new act in 2011. I have worked in France competing against French nationals and believe me when I tell you that it was not a level playing field. So can we take off the Rose coloured EU approved spectacles as it is not perfect scenario. It was set up to ensure that no single power could take control but we probably thought that was from violence and aggression not by stealth.

I would rather be controlled by our elected officials (idiots or not) rather than a bunch of self serving autocrats who have continually ignored criticism from German, Dutch, Italian, Finnish, Irish, Polish, Hungarian MEPS over the last 3 months - don't believe me just take a look on YouTube
