In your view but obviously not enough to other people hence the referendum result.The EU bent over backwards to accommodate the UK over the years,

I genuinely feel for you bud, I really do...Freedom of movement, its a two way streetWhat could go wrong for an English guy looking for a bit of work in Europe ???

Some people were quite content the way things were, you can't blame them wanting to Remain in the EU.If Brexit had been seen as an opportunity and not as a problem we wouldnt be in this position.
We were the laughing stock of the world when we voted leave, it was our Trump moment.
I don't agree with that. People I work with around the world are interested in the outcome and how I personally feel about it, how my friends feel about it and so on. We're certainly not the laughing stock. European colleagues and customers are disappointed that we voted to leave, and they worry about a weakening of military force and intelligence-gathering and sharing across Europe, they worry about free movement and trade, but they don't laugh.
If it's any consolation, there are many in Brazil, Sweden, France, the US - the list goes on - that also fear the world is laughing at their choice of elected politicians, at their economic woes, suicide rates. Honesty, you name it! We all have a complex that other countries are laughing at us as a nation. It's not true. We may laugh at the elected leaders or at decisions, but not at the electorate or the citizens of those countries.

Really? I didn't know that, what is that word? does it translate into english?Only bureaucracy. mate. The French love a bit of bureaucracy. They even invented a word for it.
Drill it down for me.. How exactly have they bullied us, what exactly pre agreed deal do you want to see, how exactly has the NHS been affected, what is wrong with immigration? The EU is not our enemy.......Me neither. Standing up for what is right is never easy. The EU is a bully only interested in its own personal gain. Their wish is to make us a laughing stock and financially bankrupt us so nobody else dares leave 'their club'
If they were as good as they think they are, the EU would have prepared for this and anyone wishing to leave gets a pre agreed 'deal'...but no, you must stay at all costs!
The majority of this county want out of the EU, control of their own borders, NHS and immigration, why does this make us a laughing stock, its been fumbled by both sides yes, but we will get there.

Which is fair enough, and I will respect that.Ok, it appears pointless for me to address my personal case as it will just get picked apart. These are my personal feelings and values and I will stick to them, as is my right...as you are welcome to stick to your own.
If it ever happens!Time will tell Martin.

Proving very tricky, however it shows the contempt that fellow party members have for each other. We could end up with 6 main parties Pro-EU-Con, Con-EU-Con, the Lib-Dems, Pro-EU-Lab, Con-EU-Lab, and the Monster Raving Loony party.Well, yes, this is the tricky bit isn't it.
Cheer up it could be worse, you could live somewhere else. I may joke about emigrating but overall, Brexit or no Brexit this is still the best place to live. Not sure what it’s like where you are but if it’s anything like here just look out the window.
