    Can anyone with first hand experience explain some negative effects of Brexit? In the US we don’t get any news about it

      They isolated their economy from a large economy just a short boat ride away. Killed any ability of British grads to get jobs in Europe, and cut british industry working in Europe. Brexit was about Boomers and jingoism letting a mostly retired population dictate that they ignore industry and anyone under 40.

      I.e. exact same problem as the US driven by the exact same cunts.

      Universities couldn’t work on research projects together anymore. We’ve lost a decade of team building and partnerships which will take many years to rebuild even though we’ve recently negotiated to rejoin the research group.

      I don’t have 1st hand experience but I’ve seen in the news that UK businesses have been hit economically because imports and exports between the UK and the EU have more taxes and regulations. I’ve also seen news stories of British retirees in Spain shocked and appalled that they now need visas and may or may not qualify.
