The vote was for exactly what we got.
EU commission being protected by riot police.

But that is not what the conversation was about was it - it was about the 90 days rule that the EU imposes - wasn't it - remember. Here it is again for you in bold italic- no mention of trade or single market in my post was there.
"There was never any reason to suddenly treat the UK as a 3rd country, there was plenty of scope to afford the UK a special status - just like Spain and France now want to do".
The UK became a 3rd country when it resigned. What did you think?
Were you expecting to resign from the golf club and still get membership benefits?
I guess you shouldn't have let the Cons stuff parliament with Hard Brexit fanatics like Johnson, Gove and Rees-Mogg.
We could have had a softer Brexit if we'd wanted. For example if about half the population voted for out, and about half voted for in, would that have meant the country wanted the most extreme option? That's what Johnson did.
Let's face it...
Brexiteers had no clue as to what they were voting for...
And now they are unhappy with the pile of sh*t that they and the whole country are sitting in, and they wish to blame anyone but themselves...
On top of that they seem to relish any tiny problem that may be going on in the EU...
Whilst portraying the EU as the 'bad guys', even though they are simply following the rules that the UK helped draft
In order to hide the fact that deep down they know they made their worst ever political/economic/social decision ever!
Of course it's easy for brexiteers to prove otherwise...
Sadly not a single one has come up with a single tangible benefit of brexit so far...

Did you forget to tell ReeSmogg and all the other Brexit bullshítters? Don't forget, those that voted remain didn't want ANY of Johnson the Liars', Brexit consequences.
Dumb Brexers.

Hilarious, Brexers moaning about Brexit and blubbing, "....why did the nasty Tories make us have such a hard Brexit (blubber)..."

1) I said areas not constituencies61% of Labour constituencies voted leave.
Did a majority of Conservative and Labour constituencies vote to leave in the EU referendum? - Full Fact
Official counts for how each parliamentary constituency voted in the EU referendum don’t exist, but the best estimates suggest that a majority of both Conservative and Labour constituencies did vote tfullfact.org
2) there aren’t as many Labour constituencies
3) a higher percentage of Conservative constituencies vote leave than Labour

- The poorest households, with incomes of less than £20,000 per year, were much more likely to support leaving the EU than the wealthiest households, as were the unemployed, people in low-skilled and manual occupations, people who feel that their financial situation has worsened, and those with no qualifications.
- Groups vulnerable to poverty were more likely to support Brexit. Age, income and education matter, though it is educational inequality that was the strongest driver. Other things being equal, support for leave was 30 percentage points higher among those with GCSE qualifications or below than it was for people with a degree. In contrast, support for leave was just 10 points higher among those on less than £20,000 per year than it was among those with incomes of more than £60,000 per year, and 20 points higher among those aged 65 than those aged 25.
- Support for Brexit varied not only between individuals but also between areas. People with all levels of qualifications were more likely to vote leave in low-skill areas compared with high-skill areas. However, this effect was stronger for the more highly qualified. In low-skilled communities the difference in support for leave between graduates and those with GCSEs was 20 points. In high-skilled communities it was over 40 points. In low-skill areas the proportion of A-level holders voting leave was closer to that of people with low-skills. In high-skill areas their vote was much more similar to graduates.
- Groups in Britain who have been ‘left behind’ by rapid economic change and feel cut adrift from the mainstream consensus were the most likely to support Brexit. These voters face a ‘double whammy’. While their lack of qualifications put them at a significant disadvantage in the modern economy, they are also being further marginalised in society by the lack of opportunities that faced in their low-skilled communities. This will make it extremely difficult for the left behind to adapt and prosper in future.
Brexit vote explained: poverty, low skills and lack of opportunities
This report provides unprecedented insight into the dynamics of the 2016 vote to leave the EU, showing how a lack of opportunity across the country led to Brexit.

Which regions have suffered the most from Brexit:

The research from the Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy at Warwick University found that the parts of the UK with high levels of low-skilled and manufacturing employment have underperformed most since 2016. These areas also heavily voted Leave in the EU referendum.

So why did you vote for it if its not what you wanted ?
You made no mention of the Schengen 90 day rule
You just said “EU could afford U.K. special status”
In any case you are wrong, the terms of our leaving were a negotiation, the U.K. only wanted a bare bones deal, that’s what it got. The U.K. could have applied to join schengen when it left, but it didn’t.
Posing about Brexit ay 3.49am. What a full and interesting life you must lead.Let's face it...

Who's blubbing? I find it interesting that all is not sweetness and light in EU land and it looks like some of the inhabitants are just waking up to how they are being controlled by those in charge.
Lol. Europeans enjoy a great life. They don't see the EU as an issue like the UK, RWR.
UK gammons - gullible fantasists.
