It's always weird to read stuff from the UK to do with brexit. That paper is clearly some right wing rag and the reality is that we are connected via the channel tunnel and all that this is doing is leaving us off the maps and probably the reasoble prices.

But people like to rile it up like we are missing out on some grand EU mega plan that is going to save the world. The EU has plenty of problems and is not some sort of nirvana. Would I rather be in the EU? Yes it is better to be part of something. However it is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and to be honest day to day it makes little difference to me. People in the UK are not crying into their union jack hankies, we have bigger problems like a completely corrupt and incompetent ruling class.

A "completely corrupt and incompetent ruling class" who have much more power now, after lying to the public and getting Brexit voted in.

Why is it better to be part of something? I hear people say that all the time like it should be obvious, but the concept repulses me.

"repulses"? That's some mighty strong feelings you have there

Every time I hear about Brexit I'm reminded how 17 million people directly fucked up my ability to be part of something just to spite themselves. If you don't want to be part of something then just take yourself and leave, don't drag everyone else out too.

Practical outcome in the case of the EU?

  • Relaxed borders / Easy International Travel
  • Easy to go work in another country
  • Same currency (for most of it)

Probably more but that's what I can think of right now.
