I'm aware. Just responding to your assertion that we're all imprisoned on our island. We're not. Anyone can emigrate any time they like. That's it.

Only to ireland a single country with arguably worse weather than the UK… Without Brexit we would have been able to with 31 countries under freedom of movement.

Yes, I know. But the point is literally nobody is 'trapped' or 'imprisoned' here, as the OP asserted.

Except some of us in long term relationships with an EEA national are as they will loose their settle status after a few years so we are trapped. I can’t move to their home country (Norway). We are stuck.

Your partner could apply for citizenship in the UK if they have settled status. I know the cost is high, but it seemingly solves the problem.

What does that have to do with what I said, which was about Ireland?
