The UK's move to leave the EU will probably be the most regretted in history.
The level of pain and expenses that they are and will endure is really something else.
And for what..? Go figure.

Really it's the victory of a decades-long press "fake news" campaign. For years papers and politicians alike have misreported EU directives, ECJ decisions, ECHR decisions (not even part of the EU), and UK human rights law decisions. This is the result.
The UK media have also given up on providing an accurate picture of the country outside London, and on any kind of industrial or trade news coverage that isn't entirely driven by press releases. And the 2008 crisis made life worse for a lot of people in ways the government has done nothing to address.
It's also easy to exploy people's problems to rally them against a fake common enemy, and it worked wonderfully.
I wonder who gained from this, amd why they did it. I don't think they believed their own lies..?
And it did make me laugh for a few seconds.
As for some "East Europe": for better or worse, they're part of the club. If they play by the rules, their objections must be heard. I disagree vehemently with them, but some workable compromise that nobody likes will be found, and things move on. That's politics. I don't have to like it as long as I understand the necessity.
Such as?
