"Much as I hate Brexit and wasn’t in favour of it, Britain has done far more shameful things throughout history. Brexit was just another on a long list. " Most major European countries have a shameful past with regards colonialism and unjust wars and I think in most EU countries there is some kind of anti EU party so it's possible someday other countries may leave the EU as well! | |||

"I feel embarrassed by Brexit and the way our country is run. I have friends in Belgium and Norway and when they ask me about it I feel pretty stupid trying to explain how it even happened " Well you could point out to them that the EU has morphed by stealth from a trade bloc into a superstate. Or why else would it need it's own president, parliament, flag, anthem, laws, courts, judges, overseas ambassadors..... If it looks like a dog and barks like a dog, it's probably a dog right? | |||

True. Brits living in Europe won’t feel ashamed around others because of that history. I don’t think too many countries will leave the EU any time soon though. | |||

"Well they could always take citizenship of their host country if they are so ashamed of the UK. But they never seem to do that do they?" Residency and Citizenship are two very different things... most ex pats become residents. Taking full Citizenship is usually quite a difficult and lengthy process. | |||

"Moving away from Britain would suggest you're not happy here, so it sort of figures to be critical. What doesn't make sense is those that move to Britain and then criticize it! " Do you mean people from other countries that criticise it ? | |||

You say that like it's a bad thing. Countries have been joining together for centuries for far worse reasons that mutual self interest and protectionism. It always amuses me that brexiteers want to "take back control", control we never really lost anyway due to our EU veto. We benefitted greatly from our special place in the EU as we recieved all of the protectionism while also being a back door for non-EU goods to enter into the bloc. I feel the world (and particularly the UK) would be a much nicer place if there was more of a focus on what unites us than what divides us, but that's where we are unfortunately. Oh and fuck this country, if I could get out then I would get out, but we arent all fortunate enough to be in the right financial situation to do this. *climbs down from soapbox* | |||

But the point is, it happened by stealth - nobody was ever asked if we wanted effective rule from Brussels. As for the 'fuck the UK' sentiment, all I can say as a former ex-pat working overseas is try living in another country for a while  | |||

"Moving away from Britain would suggest you're not happy here, so it sort of figures to be critical. What doesn't make sense is those that move to Britain and then criticize it! " Yip. 
I don't understand either of those. Surely if you choose to live somewhere other that the country you originate from you have done it to become part of that society and to embrace it's government, laws, quirks etc.
I would prefer to be within the EU and be able to travel freely around it. Britain frustrates me at times but I never slag it off. | |||

But there is nothing g stopping France, Spain, or any other Euro country giving us free 12 month visas. Nothing to stop the EU offering us EU passports - I know they don’t exist but what a way to recognise that circa 35 million Brits are pro Europe- that’s more than a dozen Eu states combined. Let’s say it was £500, I would buy one. Fantasy stuff I know but why not? | |||

Let’s say it was £500, I would buy one. Fantasy stuff I know but why not? " That's almost as insulting as the 6 month visas to foreign workers to plug the gaps caused by the end of free movement. Shockingly, hardly anybody in europe took those visas because why would you uproot and take yourself to another country to work when they can cancel your visa on whim once you have served their purpose. A lot of brits that could claim dual citizenship with an EU member state did so, as it was very heavily pushed prior to our exit. But for a lot of people this just wasnt an option. And if they did have a system to provide EU passports to those who wanted to remain then they know as wellas I do that it would be heavily abused by those who wanted to leave but still wanted their nice sunny European holiday when it suits them. | |||

"I’ve got quite strong views on this because brexit has had a negative impact on my life but can’t be arsed with the arguments. Just like Britain in the EU, I am out. " I completely understand that (for both sides of the argument) there is little to be gained from raising the issue again, unless there is a realistic prospect for change of the current situation, whether that is re-joining the EU possibly in a slightly different format or whatever else. I have strong feelings about Brexit as it has impacted me (negatively) in so many ways. But I do not want the old negative emotions relating to Brexit and people to resurface in me and my friends. | |||

I voted against it but respect that the other side won. There’s no point complaining about it but I will have no sympathy for those that voted for it and are now worse off. | |||

"I couldn't even tell you what it means "to be British". Is it where you are born? Or what your passport says? Does it depend on how long you lived in Britain or at what age? Or is it just a feeling?" It is really good question and it is not a straight forward answer as some would argue it is about where you are born. This would mean that some of my kids are, while the others are not! Some argue it is how long you have lived there - well, that is probably a part of it but not the whole picture as some people live here and do not even speak English. Some say it is how you feel - I have friends, and also have this in my family where some feel British AND another nationality. For me I feel European first and then my other nationalities, both of which I am proud. | |||

They do have views on Boris and his lack of integrity but they see that not as "British" but rather the lack of integrity of one man. | |||

Any type of food cooked and seasoned badly is going to fail, whatever country it comes from. English food, slow cooked meats that go into cottage or shepherds pie, ox cheek, with buttery mash, pies are numerous and we have some of the best in the world. Along with the usual suspects like fish and chips, which are done badly 9 times out of 10. The British diet and restaurants changed dramatically during the 80's into the 90's that eventually pushed us into one of the best countries in the world to eat. The chefs, the restaurants are now world class, producing food that any country would be proud of. The biggest change in our food came from improvements in the service, back in the day you got a grunt and an attitude of if you don't like it.. The mainland European workforce, change the game and made eating out a joy rather than a chore. Bringing all of this together took time and it will probably be dismantled over time too. | |||

You should try eating German. 
Bratwurst, Currywurst, Sauerkraut, and that bloody horrible concoction they call Sauerbraten (overcooked beef in vinegar).
To be fair northern Europeans didn't have much to go on in the past and cooking developed around what was available.
The Dutch and Scandinavians have very limited cuisine unless you like a lot of fish (roll mop herring anyone?)
The further south you go then the better climate and much wider selection of produce made life and cooking so much easier.
The tables seem to be turning though and British cooks are highly rated these days.

"I am not sure why this is a competition for who has the worst or best food. I use ingredients from all over the world and am not concerned about their "nationality. My friends and family, by and large, celebrate all foods, British, German, French etc... and in particular fusion food which takes bits from different origins. Also, just because you do not like ONE or two particular local food eg Sauerbraten (incidentally not overcooked but may have been on the particular occasion that it was tried and dismissed) that does not mean all, in this case German food is horrible. I really love bringing different flavours, recipes etc together and celebrate that international feeling. And that ranges from delicious British Bread and Butter Pudding to Pasta Vongole, Kaiserschmarrn, Chateaubriand and ...... you name it.

"These people running down the nation of their birth are a peculiar bunch is that what British means? Thanks for the clarification. Anyone else want to advance on this ? Maybe a definition that makes the PM British ? " I would like to know if the Scottish and Welsh refer to themselves as being British or by the country. I always state I'm English, if asked, but I always say I'm from the UK and never England or Britain. When I was younger I always referred to myself as English and from England, I wonder why this has changed? Was it because we were the UK in the EU and that stuck? | |||

"I am not sure why this is a competition for who has the worst or best food. I use ingredients from all over the world and am not concerned about their "nationality. My friends and family, by and large, celebrate all foods, British, German, French etc... and in particular fusion food which takes bits from different origins. Also, just because you do not like ONE or two particular local food eg Sauerbraten (incidentally not overcooked but may have been on the particular occasion that it was tried and dismissed) that does not mean all, in this case German food is horrible. I really love bringing different flavours, recipes etc together and celebrate that international feeling. And that ranges from delicious British Bread and Butter Pudding to Pasta Vongole, Kaiserschmarrn, Chateaubriand and ...... you name it.
Fully agree with you but someone has to take on the let's knock Britain mob on here.
Still don't like sauerbraten though. " | |||

"Most decent British residents in Britain feel deeply ashamed to be British because of Brexit. Are you now saying only the decent people of UK voted remain and all the "non decent" voted leave?" 52pc of decent British residents voted to remain
I have no idea what percentage of residents are decent. | |||

"People love to moan about politicians but hate to get up off their arse and become one themselves - a bit like armchair referees. " Because the pay is crap which is why it attracts such incompetent twats.

Just look at all those sovereign decisions made by member states during Covid and now with war with Ukraine.
What Brexiters never admit is the laws, rules and regulations which did apply to the UK were actually written with UK involvement. Nobody “did it to us” it was “done with us”.
The UK had the most privileged position in the EU being outside of Schengen and not using the Euro. We had a veto. And massive influence as the 2nd biggest economy and 1st most powerful military.
The reasons cited by Leave for why we could negotiate on the world stage were actually the same reasons why we held such power in the EU but Leave convinced the gullible that the poor little UK was being bullied by the big bad EU! | |||

The people voted for it. As stated, if they feel so ashamed, why don’t they get another nationality??? Why did you vote for Brexit? Firstly, the idea of the “EU” was devised by Adolf Hitler, where Germany would rule the EU and control each of the member states. Lo and behold, Britain and all member states lost their right to make their own laws, the right to govern themselves, the right to choose who to let into the country and the right to govern their own finances and more. The majority of EU funding came from Britain, France and Germany…..just a few reasons why I voted Brexit. And we wonder why we're up Shit Creek
Haha, I am hoping this is a wind up, otherwise with this level of delusion we are definitely fucked
Well it won't change but to be fair...the sun will rise tomorrow...
Why worry ?
I am not worried Tom, I am in a very fortunate position, once the economy tanks I will make a lot of money
So Brexit was a good thing for you.. Happy Days... "Financially? yes, it could be, At your age I would be more worried | |||

Brexit is a good idea, Trump was a good idea, Plandemic, Hitler Started the EU, the vaccine has nanobots, aliens built the pyramids.
We're living in an age where people believe any bollocks they're told."The education system has failed them. The welfare state has allowed the stupid to multiply rather than be culled in mines, factories and wars. The advances of social media has made every cunt with a keyboard an export and pundit with a ‘following’. And then there’s the spin and continual PsyOps campaigns that are designed to cause discontent, division and ideological tribalism. All distraction. Not a clever conspiracy, simply the smart who have the means taking advantage of the stupid and clueless. Been that way for a long time. It is just that the speed, depth and scale of manipulation have all increased with technology. And some even get paid to help make it happen. Like shooting fish in a barrel. | |||
