The most damaging #Brexit Myth: “The UK could keep all the benefits of EU membership with none of the obligations.”

Many Brexiteers genuinely believed:
- the EU would prioritise trade over rules
- the EU would split internally
- the EU would treat the UK as exceptional

None of these things happened because:
- the single market only works because its rules are non‑negotiable
- Brexit made the 27 more united than ever
- the EU applied the same terms to everyone

@mse_eu they wouldn't even listen when we told them we already had a bunch of special arrangements and nobody, in or out, would ever get another deal with the EU like it but they wouldn't listen because apparently having rules on trading fruit and vegetables with a standard grading across borders meant they couldn't buy bendy bananas unless the council had given all the houses to brown people, or something. I started ignoring them long before they got anywhere near a point.
