Londoners voted to stay. Perhaps they should piss off back from where they came then.

What, apart from keeping all that money and making our own rules like we used to you mean? Well, a good chance of waving goodbye to N Ireland and no chance of Scotland getting independence, this is for their own good of course. We can close our borders to legal immigration only letting the wanted ones in and get rid of any foreigner who breaks our laws. We dont have to eat fecking bananas, all gone in supermarket this morning I see. We can buy and distribute Covid jabs far quicker than any other European country. That alone has made it worthwhile. I am probably within the top 1% of people in the World now that is protected against Covid. Well done UK. I do firmly believe the only way is up.

Money - UK economy down 9.9%. Compare it to EU economies and subtract the difference, thats the Brexit effect
Rules - Most of UK trade rules mirror that of EU to allow for FTA signed in Dec
N.Ireland - hopefully, but will in all likely hood have a continued subvention over a decade to wean off the teat of the treasury ( NI costs more per week than EU ever did)
Scotland - we'll see, I'd say Indy is favourite
Close borders - you need migrant workers to do the low paying jobs. Also, it was always within the power of the UK gov to remove criminals etc. Also always within UK gov to refuse social payments
EU countries must not set conditions (other than needing a passport or national identity card, or to report their presence to the authorities) for EU citizens to enter their country.
This means that you should not be asked to prove that you have an offer of employment, money to live off, are registered with a college, or have any other particular business or purpose to visiting the EU member state.
EU citizens, EEA or Swiss nationals who arrive in Ireland must have a passport or national identity card. If you are travelling in mainland Europe, you may be allowed to move between countries without showing your passport or identity card (in the Schengen Area).
Family members of EU, EEA or Swiss citizens, who are not citizens themselves, may have to apply for a visa to enter Ireland. See ‘Family members’ below.
Your right to stay in an EU, EEA country or Switzerland for up to 90 days could be cancelled if you become an unreasonable burden on the social assistance system of the member state. If you have recently moved to Ireland, have not been able to find work, and have no money to support yourself, the Irish state does not have to pay you social assistance. See ‘Restrictions on freedom of movement below.
Bananas - only the bendy ones are nice
Covid Vaccine - UK bought the vaccine under EU rules which allowed any country to do what they did. Reason why EU bought in bloc was to ensure smaller countries didn't get outbid or left behind.
The only way is up - probably, UK cant go much lower
On a positive note, EU could learn a lot from UK medicines agency about approving vaccines in quick time.

Reality V Fantasy Dermot. You won't change their minds, they'll blame any negative outcome on the EU. Still, people are entitled to their opinions/votes. C'est la vie...
