      Health Nerd Retweeted Derek James  💙  🇪🇺 #RejoinEU

      Without any comment on Brexit per se, I suspect that those who supported Leave will remain angry for some time as they realize that none of the things that they voted for were, in fact, realistic or truehttps://twitter.com/derekjames150/status/1230627210219991041 …

      #bbcqt It's strange isn't it! Brexit supporters have got their way. The UK is no longer a member of the EU. But they are still incredibly angry. I think these people would complain about everything and anything even if the UK was utopia!

      The other thing that astounds me is just the sheer difficulty of finding factual information on what Brexit means. No policy analysis, no investigation. Just competing boosterism based on the "vibe" of the whole thing. It's highlighted media failure as much as political failure

      Yes I agree. One thing you can easily say about Brexit is that virtually no one except experts has any idea what it actually means

      Fave recent anecdotal example of people getting it wrong was when we flew from London to Geneva two weeks ago. Non-EU line chock-a-block of Brits complaining about having to use non-EU line (they can actually use EU line until next Jan, just no explicit UK flag directing them to)

      Even then, chances are good that there'll be some sort of easy visa situation. Short travel for holidays was never going to be an issue, both EU and UK love tourists, it's the work that's going to change things I reckon

          Yep, even without difficult policies the uncertainty itself is making some things difficult. We've got a Oz-UK-Germany-Swiss project that is an administrative nightmare of grey zones at the moment!
