    Has Brexit ruined life as we knew it yet?

    Not if you're an unemployable recluse living on handouts. It's made life a bit ****tier for millions of people, for no reason whatsoever.

    Downsides

    UK citizens living in the EU are going to suffer.

    UK citizens that split their time between living in the EU and here will have limitations on how long they can stay.

    Border checks will make importing/exporting goods more complex and time consuming.

    Importing/exporting will be more expensive (basic stuff that we buy from the EU for example).

    No say in EU-wide rules from now on that will still apply to us

    Lots of additional staff needed to do pointless ****ty checks on goods, wasting loads of money.

    GDPR has been made more complicated to stick to (only affects nerds)

    If you live in Kent then everything will stink of trucker piss.

    Going on holiday to the EU will require proper travel insurance (one to watch if you're off on a Magaluf weekend)

    Living/studying in the EU will become more complicated.

    And probably more, cba right now

    Upsides

    FISH!!!!!

    A few Tories will get richer

    Edit: Saff mentioned that there's a shortage of salad for McDonalds (this is how desperate they are)

    Think that's it tbh

    All speculation imho

    I happen to think the average person won’t notice a difference

    That’s just me tho

    A majority of voters voted to leave the EU
    The UK has left the EU
    A few crazed remainers still whine about it
    Who cares what they think?

    People cross the Channel in boats to leave the EU and come to the UK.
    The UK must be a better place than the EU

    No, life as we know it is obviously going very well. Hadn’t you noticed?

    No, English speaking people or people with families/connections come here, as we have barely any restrictions on employment. All EU countries have lots of immigrants.

    We're about to get a whole load more thanks to your beloved Brexit too <applause>

    It’s not about cancelling Brexit because as far as I’m concerned it’s done, but the point many have made is that these costs and many others like them are going to be the reality moving forward.
    For the truck drivers it may only be an additional £20 a week now having to potentially buy food from service stations throughout Europe but why would anyone vote to be a grand a year worse off?

    I believe that the driver asked if he could keep the bread and was told no!

    Have you got any logical reason to support that claim?
    They dont have jobs to go to.
