you're right and well said. I have had many a Eurostar journey ruined trying to explain to brits who claim "but we were never in schengen!" that as EU nationals, they skipped schengen checks. Now they can't. They will find out soon enough.

So many details about leaving the EU should have been on that bus in addition to take back control which, in the immigration issue, the UK lost. It’s mind boggling how much lack of information is still out there after 9 years 🥲

I do notice it's mostly an english thing. Scots (62%), NI (56%) and GIbraltar (97%) all voted remain in 2016 and that pro EU feeling has increased since. in Ireland, we're already planning for reunification. NI leaving the UK brings an end to the united kingdom. No red bus had that on the side!

If only we had more news from EU countries about their opinion on UK joining again, eventually, instead of the daily obsessed drip drip of US politics. I’m no expert but I don’t think anything will happen until 2029 if at all.

I setup a group of Europeans who post about brexit and british politics a lot to try and give a different perspective Simona.
