How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

Isn't it amazing that we all benefitted from smooth international travel across the EU when we were in the EU and had as many opt-outs and as much autonomy as we wanted? Freedom of travel, freedom to work, study, etc., was available to us all.
And we chose/decided to give all that up, leave the EU and set our own hard borders, so choosing to become a third country, and yet there are Brits who complain that they now have to suffer stricter border controls when flying to the EU?
Wake up and smell the coffee! The UK now has the same status as every other non-EU country. They treat every person from a third country who enters the EU the same. Do you think Brits should be treated differently? And you f+++in chose that!

Absolutely right.
There seems to have been a genuine school of thought that brexit meant we would have all the benefits without actually paying for, and being a member of ,the EU and that we would be treated exactly the same.
The idea that it would work both ways seems to have somewhat escaped the brexiters.

The same people that said they would negotiate a wonderful deal with the European Union are the same one that said they would negotiate a wonderful deal with the United States. Conceit.

Fuck them. I'm glad there are queues as it keeps the momentum for rejoin and the disaster of brexit in the spotlight.
Personally I think there should be separate queues for those that voted for brexit that take three days and a fast track lane for remain voters - maybe then the penny would drop

What happens when you have the big idea, but absolutely no plans on how to implement it, and no idea of the consequences of it, both intended and unintended.
They knew what they were voting for.
‘This is not what we voted for’
This is exactly what you voted for.
Ask mr. Buckland.
He’ll tell you this is what you voted for.
Happy yet?
 
Why are we surprised at Braverman's comments? She had no idea what processes are in place or not, when asked by the Select Committee to describe how to get INTO the country. The fact that she is so thick or just plane lies on what causes delays to people leaving the country is just par for the course.

You fail to understand that there has to be a benefit to ''being in the club''


other than the expectation that because you're British everyone should roll out the red carpet.

Why should it be a benefit of being in the club? We weren't in Schengen so it's not like we got away with passport-less travel in the EU anyway. Other than getting a stamp I can't really see the difference, I've queued before we left and I'm still queueing.

My observation is just that it was a pain in the arse to travel to Germany recently whilst meanwhile it wasn't a pain in the arse to travel to elsewhere in the world where we aren't in 'clubs' either.

Making you queue to get a sticker in your passport just seemed odd, are non-EU nationals queuing up to get stickers in their passports for flights from Germany to every non-EU country? I somehow doubt it. Maybe in the future when the EU goes electronic it will be easier for us, I don't know?

It sums it up on here when people are literally wishing on stupid processes resulting in queues which will also make it more difficult for themselves when they come to travel. Maybe some of you like me will consider going elsewhere and who loses then?

I think this is why I've stayed out of the Brexit debate recently and will continue to do so, it's as toxic and pointless as ever.
