It is OK, we haven't gone to hell! We just got left behind when the Brexiter rapture happened...they are all in the sunny uplit lands somewhere ;)
This is really tribalism at its worst: Only a minority of idiot hard Brexiters would really agree with this, but they aren't bothered to talk to the "brexiter in the middle".
Very reminiscent of Norn Ire's "green VS orange" politics and look what that brings us... and there at least, you can sort of understand it due to the past. But what hurt did the EU really cause people?
1: There are some pissed off fishermen (though it was the UKs idea to buy out boats), OK, that sucks, it hit you in the wallet
2: the fact you cannot evict criminals/terrorists if you they end in on a 0 rights country, OK, I agree with it but it is annoying
3: then some people didn't earn as much as others came in, OK, risk of being a sole trader, still annoying,
4: some people got made fake redundant and replaced with EU immigrants, OK, against UK law that nobody seems to enforce and winning that fight in a court is not perse easy/fast
5:some areas got more housing pressure as immigrants took jobs, OK, but the local council/UK central gov sat on their hands RE housing
A lot of "we just close the gates and 3/4/5" will fix themselves, right? We have to see if it does... and 1, those fishing rights ain't coming back as the UK gov won't buy them back, 2, cha, "bring back hanging?"
