By almost every economic and financial measure, parting ways with the EU almost eight years ago has been disastrous for the UK. Is there no end in sight?
I remember waking up after the referendum and being really sad, the UK was an ally to us Danes on most EU-issues, and it felt a little bit like a breakup. I still haven’t really forgiven you lot, to be honest, which is silly but true.
I think most Europeans felt that, because after all the uk was a founding member and an integral and valued part of the union with an unprecedented amount of preferential treatment. When they left it was a bit like your partner leaves to fuck some homewrecker for a couple months before they realize how good they had it, but it’s ruined now.
The UK wasn’t a founding member, unless you start counting from the Maastricht treaty, and that was really just a continuation of the others going back to about 1948.
And then it got worse as the goal posts kept changing as to what “Brexit” meant. To the point where a no deal went from being something remain were lampooned for saying could happen to being apparently what people wanted.
Genuinely felt some betrayal and paranoia after I voted against it and it went through.
Similar to here when our own conservative-party, orange-haired wacko-clown won… at least you can hold your own head high, having fought against it:-).

Brexit meant brexit. And something about ready meals.
