Your vague assurances are not very reassuring.
Not at all.
And my personal friend lives in the UK, now fearing to lose his job, not to mention his girlfriend is there with him, so her job is at risk too. if they both lose their job, their lives will be ruined. Also, Mat you realize that now you British people have to do jobs like being bartenders, waitresses, and clean rooms in the hotels. Since British people demand these services, but would not do them since they consider them to be humiliating. And don't tell me you don't, I know exactly since my mother worked in a Hotel as a room cleaner for 20 years, and she herself said that the English people all looked at her like a garbage, even the messiest Chinese did not looked down on her.
You also said you will get more trade from outside EU. Well, maybe you will have new roads, but clearly not as many as in the EU, since your economy seems to be quite near to collapse at the moment.
You should realize that you are not that great empire you were once and you can't take on the world on your own anymore.
Look, I know you voted on leaving for a reason, but you might not have thought things though quite enough. Nor did more than half of your countrymen and women. life is not that easy that if we won't trade with EU we will trade with others. Others will now see that the UK lost a whole bunch of credibility. They see that you left your trading partners hanging in the air. Who wants to trade with someone like that? Nobody likes the idea that one day his trading partner just lets him there.
Reasons and consequences. UK only saw the reasons, but did not thought about the consequences.
And to quote a British living in the EU(I tell no name for a reason): "i want the world to basically kick our shit into the gutter while i laugh from the safe confines of my ******* home"
"i'll tell you what we are; arrogant"
a lot of people think that we can just relive the glory days of our empire and stand on our own against europe, and that nothing will happen to us because we're so big and powerful
we stood alone during WWII, we'll get through this just as we did back then"
to that I wrote:
"but you did not stand alone in WW II. without american supply convoys and troops you would have lost"
To that he said:
"yeah but a lot of us like to think that we did stand alone until 1944"
After a while talking about something else we returned to the subject and these were next:
"to leave the EU is also committing economic suicide
over the past 24 hours we're not #5 biggest economy anymore
we're now at #7"
And this went on and on...
But yeah, don't believe us. You are British, not Europeans. But count on that if the Scottish and Northern Irish will secede, since Scottish wants to stay in EU, then your economy will drop even further and you will have even more borders to defend. Also losing Northern Ireland would mean you lose control over the Northern Channel, which rips you away from further taxes, infrastructure and population, making England lose even more credibility. And you are lucky that Wales has no intention of separation because that would be the last nail in your coffin.
Just saying.
