The fuck is going on over there?
Maybe UK citizen have not yet realized how badly they screwed themselves with Brexit, and they need a second shot of an even sadder reality? Or maybe they’ve just given up already?
This has nothing to do with Brexit. And I’m struggling to find anything in my daily life where Brexit has had a negative effect. Strangely enough when I ask people how it’s affecting their daily life nobody seems to actually come up with an example that has anything to do with Brexit. The most common one is having to use passports to travel to the EU but we always had to do that because the UK wasn’t part of Schengen and I can only assume those who bring up that example have never ever left the UK.

Most of that surveillance shit wouldn’t fly in EU

Europe are introducing it, some countries already have before the UK. But thanks for letting us know you’ve done zero research on the matter.
