To still be really sad and angry about Brexit

It really reduced the opportunities in my future and has achieved absolutely nothing of benefit for anyone else (besides disaster capitalists who made a mint off the financial manipulation effect). We haven't even avoided those stupid fecking tethers on the bottle lids!

When the extra immigration checks come in in October it's going to make every holiday a tiny bit upsetting.

And the new government won't even try to fix it.

Don't get me wrong I'm not one of those idealists singing ode to joy before breakfast but on a personal level it bloody sucks and seems likely it always will.

Yep! My new European passport arrives at the end of the month. No point in renewing my British one

YANBU OP. I feel the same

I’m no fan of of his, but actively wishing someone had been killed in a plane crash is a bit much OP.

I am observing that my life would be better if he hadn't been around to trigger the events that led to Brexit. He's loaded and has a German passport. I'm poorer than I could have been and with extremely restricted rights to engage with the EU. I don't feel bad about daydreaming alternative histories.

I remain sad and furious too. Absolute fuckers, reducing our opportunities, freedoms and financial security. And as an older person, I am even more furious that they've done this to our young people.

Yea and that cunt Farage has decided to try and cause even more issues by standing to be the MP for Clacton.

He is a racist who has done enough damage to this country and Reform are nothing more than the National Front in suits.

Yeah, me too. I had a canvasser at the weekend and it got me thinking what I might say if the Tories or Reform turn up. Brexit might well feature even though it was 10 years ago. I'm not over it and they're not forgiven!

Yes, I remain sad and furious. I saw the picture again earlier of Farage celebrating the collapse of the pound and it makes me so bloody cross.
