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?

The people who kept crying "pRoJeCt FeAr!!!!!" in their poorly informed political rants are now really angry that exactly as they were warned, there's queues at airports, roaming charges for their mobile phones when abroad, transactions with overseas sellers via the likes of Ebay is much more diffcult, time consuming and costly, and so on. Many small companies who previously were big exporters have either folded, or significantly reduced their trade, directly quoting the cost and delay of Brexit red tape.
But there's more. The people who voted for this shitshow haven't joined the dots up. Other challenges we face *could* be partly attributable to Covid and other factors, but the ones I mention above are exclusively related to Brexit. They don't care that for the UK, the Erasmus overseas placement program is finished (I guess that in their eyes, that was just for posh people) and aren't concerned that the UK now faces the massive duplication of cost in having to introduce its own regulatory bodies to replace the ones we left behind in Europe, such as that which governs atomic installations. The tragedy of our own quality assurance scheme which is recognised by *no other country* speaks volumes for the loss of plot.
The fact that the promises for extra NHS money have come to nought is pretty much forgotten, and the continual lying and corruption from the politicians who dreamt up this demolition derby is accepted, because "it got Brexit done". In terms of the bonfire of legislation mentioned by Burley123, it *is* happening (Google raw sewage into rivers, for example) but again, the people who voted for this don't care: They've already been conditioned to reject any concerns from, as they say, "the gobby greens/tree huggers".
By the collective of committee style decision making, the course of our nation is being set at full speed towards the rocks of shipwreck, because too many people on board who know nothing about navigation think that the beam of the lighthouse represents safety. And that's what we voted for.
