  1. Interesting difference – While most media in Germany have a clear political leaning, it’s very uncommon that they actively call upon voters to vote in a specific way. Whereas in Britain it seems very normal that media make such clear endorsements ahead of elections all the time.

  2. The UK leaving the EU was the dumbest decision they could do. And they regretting it.
    Next logical step is rejoining.

  3. What did Brexit even achieve? Any Brit that can chip in? I remeber NHS and immigiration were the big talking points back then

  4. Peak irony when Daily Mails “FOUR BIG EU LIES” are demonstrably factually correct.

    There where no Turkey membership talks days after the Brexit referndum (nor until now, nor anytime soon).

    There are now significant trade barriers between the UK and the EU, including germany.

    Brussles is in an ongoing process of clamping down on immigration from outside the EU (with more success then the UK itself at least as it seems)

  5. Congrats. Enjoy the never-ending Independence day. 😂

  6. I refuse to believe 2016 was a full 8 years ago. 2-3 at most

  7. I traveled to London before the vote. Everybody had an air of confidence that it would never happen :))

  8. Genuine question, does the brits feel more “free” now that they are out of EU? did their life has changed in any way for the better after these 4 years?

    Because i’m not british and i’m still struggling to understand to this day what was the point of them leaving.

  9. I wonder if the fishermen and farmers are happy with being tossed aside after the brexit vote

  10. Anyone who was closely following the vote knew that all the discussions on the economic and political benefits of Britain (UK) leaving the EU was mostly rhetoric. The actual basis and reason for the support of Brexit was to end immigration. Most supporters of Brexit thought that it would end immigration of people they considered “undesirable” (Indian, ASEAN, Eastern European, African, Latin American) while keeping the flow of “desirable” immigrants intact (North American, Western European, Australian).

    What happened was exactly the exact opposite lol.
