    can anyone in europe or the UK speak to any actual change they've experienced from brexit?

    brexit is interesting to me because it was a parallel to trump here in the states, but we've had massive evidence of his impact since day 1, an impact that to this day is reverberating. walking down the street, being in a crowd, going through entire regions of the country and the shift in experience is palpable.

    so, do any europeans notice the loss of the UK? do folks in the UK notice the exit yet?

    i ask because everything i say are op-ed screenshots or stories about regretful business owners, but not necessarily anything about how this policy shift has changed anything other than airport queues

    • The run up to Brexit was such a fucking clusterfuck shitshow organised by clueless cunts, so the real impact won't be apparent for a while yet.face_melter
