How do people feel about Brexit three years on? - BBC Newsnight

It's kind of funny that the Brits can no longer blame the EU for their problems

"We wanted the benefits of membership without the costs." These people are adults right?

Politicians: "If we get out of the EU, all the money we send them can be used here to improve our country!" UK citizens: "Cool. Now that we made it out of the EU, where are the millions of dollars we were supposed to be saving after the brexit?" Politicians: "What money?"

I got a bunch of British friends, all between the age of 22-30. Every single one of them is so upset about Brexit and how it not only caused a crisis within the UK but also completely fucked up their opportunities to live, work and move in the EU. They're all trying desperately to get an Irish passport through their Irish nan/grandfather...

I like how the brexiteers describe it as "the best decision we ever made" but still aren't able to describe a single tangible benefit from leaving the EU.

I think it's funny that the UK thought they could keep all the benefits of the EU without paying to be a member of the EU.

as an Australian this decision just seemed insane at the time and most of us laughed at it including all the people I know who are from the UK thought it was totally stupid

I am 26 and British and brexit has more or less ruined several job oppurtunities for me, made my relationship with my EU partner difficult, and has made my day-to-day living in an EU country incredibly stressful. When the brexit vote came out I deattached myself from the UK, but I am still living with the consequences of other people's short-sightedness to this day. What I lost was tremendous, and will scar my life forever. I am not a refugee fleeing violence and unrest, so I understand not everyone is completely sympathetic to people such as myself, but I am an immigrant who has had my open rights to life, love, and employment withdrawn without my consent

I feel so sorry for the youth in Britain. They've lost numerous opportunities that other countries in EU have.

The lady with the dog really sums it up with how brexit got voted in, starts off by saying “it hasn’t really made a huge difference to my life” and follows that up with “I still think it was a good idea” No thought put into it, no reasons given, just a decision made on a whim

They forgot they no longer have an empire😂

You are so on point. The decline in US democracy is following suit, with a large portion of Americans not understanding the principals of governance, economy, and social balance. Perplexing is the human existence.

It's like when you leave your partner thinking you can do better only to realize you were wrong, but now you are too embarrassed to beg them to take you back, so you start pretending it's all good.

“We’d be a rich country”?? We cut our ties with our biggest trading partner and this man thought it would make us rich? What planet is he on?

Imagine being able to live anywhere in 27 countries, from the coasts of Spain, to the vineyards of Italy, to the tech center of Berlin, to the islands of Greece and the French countryside....No questions asked, no visa or job needed... and preferring to instead limit yourself to a cold, rainy, northern Atlantic island, with a dying health system, about the size of Wyoming, never able to leave again and thinking as you sip tea in your damp overpriced terrace house that "no one is taking away your jobs anymore and you've taken back control from Brussels" with no change to your daily life other than negative impact. LOL There literally hasn't been a more stupid choice known to man.

So many people had very strong opinions about things they didn’t fully understand. They got what they voted for and still don’t realise it.

In Europe almost no one mentions BREXIT, it is a past issue and of course no one considers that the United Kingdom could return, since Brexit everything works better in the European Union and even the extreme right parties no longer talk about leaving. Farange, Johnson and others have done the European Union a great favor4

"Yeah it's been a shitstorm but I still think it was a good idea because I have no brain and admitting that I was wrong hurts me more than my worsening economical situation."

If anyone in the UK believes that the worst has passed, you better hold to something solid, because this is just the beginning of a downfall.

Play stupid games……win stupid prices!🤷‍♂️
