    We were in Brussels (rather fitting) a few weeks before lockdown, weekend break, as you do. Whenever we got chatting to locals, it was often brought up by them.

    "Aaahhhh, Brexit."

    "You want to leave the EU?"

    "Are you crazy?"


    But the main conversation revolved around the simple question of 'but why?' for which I had to say "no idea" quite a lot. And nodding my head as they outlined the negatives I've been banging on about for years myself.

    But yeah. The nationalists won out. Deal with it. You lost. Etc.

    Haha, the usual mob. Some very bitter people on here. Never seen as much pessimism in all my life. You lot probably hope we as a country go down the s.hitter, just so you can say I told you so. Pathetic really.

    I sincerely hope I'm wrong and that Brexit turns out somehow to have been a great move. That are food standards aren't lowered to be able to trade with the USA. That trading with the EU (our closest neighbours) will be just as easy and therefore jobs won't be lost and people's livelihoods ruined.

    ...but I've seen nothing to suggest that I'll be wrong so far!

    This government are so incompetent it's not even surprising when they make horrific blunders like the track and trace shambles. Why anyone has faith in them to spin Brexit into a good situation for normal working people is beyond me.

    Who needs trade agreements with your closest neighbours when you can have one with the country literally on the other side of the planet?

    It's not strictly pessimism in my case, although I admit I am pessimistic about the UK's prospects. It's simply that the 90/180 rule won't allow me to remain a UK resident and taxpayer while dividing my time between the UK and France as I have done for the past 16 years so I have to choose to settle definitively in either the UK or the EU. It's a first world problem, sure, but it's Brexit that's put me in that wholly unnecessary position so you'll forgive me for my lack of enthusiasm.

    1. We don't. 2. The government are literally having to run a year and a half long campaign using behavioural science to make people like you realise you've been done so you don't get the shock of your lives. As I quoted from the article in my OP, they've recognised the problem you bring and are having to pay £150 million for an ad campaign to try and save you from yourself.

    The New Zealand FTA, by the government's own figures is expected to add *at best* 0.0% to 0.01% to the UK GDP. *At worst*, it will decrease UK GDP by 0.1%.

    According to the governments own figures (you know, the Vote Leave, Brexit cheerleading government), COVID-19 followed by their current favoured Brexit plan is likely to cost around 3.5 million jobs in the UK within the next year.
