Ironically, purely at a personal level, waiting in the "non EU" passport queue when visiting European countries has made me regret my lifes voting choices 😂

Sovereignty comes with a price. Not that the UK rulers are better/worse than the ones in Brussels, but at least the power is closer to the people.
