Hilarious Reminder.
Brexiteers are being hilariously reminded of what they actually voted for
It was a simpler time: David Cameron was prime minister, Barack Obama was US president and the word "Covid" didn't mean anything to anyone. Then British politics swiftly became consumed by Brexit: years of debate, protests, parliamentary deadlock and no less than two general elections followed.
Boris Johnson's election in December 2019 seemed to finally put an end to the matter. After all, he had an "oven ready" deal and repeatedly promised to "get Brexit done". And the UK did leave the EU in January this year: but with the transition period's deadline looming, the terms on which we're leaving are still unclear.
So far, all we can really say is that passports are blue and Kent is getting a new car park. It's a far cry from Vote Leave's promise of £350 million extra funding for the NHS.
And, on top of not knowing what our relationship with our European neighbours will look like (breaking international law to renege on our promises to them can't help matters), we now have no idea what the future of our 'special relationship' with the US will progress.
So, with no deal reached and Westminster in total disarray, people are sharing their disillusionment with the whole process under the hashtag #BrexitReality.

Literally everywhere you look, there are Brexit losses.
-food standards
-catastrophic levels of new paperwork
-trade friction
-companies leaving
-drug supply
-security
-academic, medical and scientific research
-loss of sovereignty
NEVER a gain.

What is this right wing obsession with "controlling fish."?
And how is such a thing even possible?

Today
@BorisJohnson
announced a new Office for Investment - core to attracting & retaining foreign investment.
Alongside our trade agreements, inward investment will be crucial to creating more jobs and prosperity across the UK.
Over the past decade, foreign direct investment worth a staggering three-quarters of a trillion dollars has poured into the UK.

Inward investment WILL be crucial to help create the jobs lost through the voluntary decision to leave the world's biggest trading bloc after an ADVISORY referendum to control our fish, which of course it is impossible to control. Madness. #BrexitReality #BrexitBritain

Dear fellow musicians, performers, technicians etc. Here’s a thread about how our lives are going to change re touring/working in the EU in 50 days time. Think of it as a kind of Bad News Advent calendar. Here goes 1/

For the avoidance of confusion, this takes away the automatic right of British citizens to live and work in any country of the European Union. It cuts both ways. #BrexitReality

After many years of campaigning, I am delighted the Immigration Bill which will end free movement on 31st December has today passed through Parliament.
We are delivering on the will of the British people.

Disgusting. How can you celebrate taking away rights from every citizen of your country? Deluded bigots. #BrexitReality
Despite initially sparking debates about democracy, sovereignty and globalism, a lot of what Brexit negotiations have actually boiled down to is... fish.
Fish and freedom of movement.
Priti Patel's tweet bragging about the government's immigration bill sparked particular backlash.
The Brexit transition period ends on December 31st.
We'd like to hope the UK's future relationship with the EU will be settled by then. But given the seemingly-endless messiness of the last four years, we won't hold our breath.
