For muh UK peeps....how is Brexit going? Are those who voted leave happy with how it's turning out? Did you get all that NHS money they promised?

Those who voted remain, are things any better than you feared they would be?

A total disaster, as expected. Terrible for Northern Ireland, job losses in Scotland, much more bureaucracy for trade and so on. The little Englanders are happy as they dream of the good old days that never were.

@HarrietteSpeedy Brexit will benefit Scotland when they gain independence and join the EU in their own right.

@NortiusMaximus That is possible - which will be great for Scotland but a disaster for England.

@HarrietteSpeedy England is quite capable of creating its own disasters, it doesn't need any help from Scotland.

Yeah how is the Ireland thing going, anyway? I understood that there were going to be some significant problems with moving things across the border since half of Ireland is no longer part of the EU.

@Pikachu In a lot of ways, NI is still in the EU.

BTW, The six counties of NI do not comprise half the island of Ireland, they don't even comprise all the province of Ulster. Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan are in the Republic of Ireland and NI (ca 14 000km^2) comprises less than two thirds of the land area of Ulster (ca 22 000km^2).
