"Much as I hate Brexit and wasn’t in favour of it, Britain has done far more shameful things throughout history. Brexit was just another on a long list. " Most major European countries have a shameful past with regards colonialism and unjust wars and I think in most EU countries there is some kind of anti EU party so it's possible someday other countries may leave the EU as well! | |||

"I feel embarrassed by Brexit and the way our country is run. I have friends in Belgium and Norway and when they ask me about it I feel pretty stupid trying to explain how it even happened " Well you could point out to them that the EU has morphed by stealth from a trade bloc into a superstate. Or why else would it need it's own president, parliament, flag, anthem, laws, courts, judges, overseas ambassadors..... If it looks like a dog and barks like a dog, it's probably a dog right? | |||

True. Brits living in Europe won’t feel ashamed around others because of that history. I don’t think too many countries will leave the EU any time soon though. | |||

"Well they could always take citizenship of their host country if they are so ashamed of the UK. But they never seem to do that do they?" Residency and Citizenship are two very different things... most ex pats become residents. Taking full Citizenship is usually quite a difficult and lengthy process. | |||

"Moving away from Britain would suggest you're not happy here, so it sort of figures to be critical. What doesn't make sense is those that move to Britain and then criticize it! " Do you mean people from other countries that criticise it ? | |||

You say that like it's a bad thing. Countries have been joining together for centuries for far worse reasons that mutual self interest and protectionism. It always amuses me that brexiteers want to "take back control", control we never really lost anyway due to our EU veto. We benefitted greatly from our special place in the EU as we recieved all of the protectionism while also being a back door for non-EU goods to enter into the bloc. I feel the world (and particularly the UK) would be a much nicer place if there was more of a focus on what unites us than what divides us, but that's where we are unfortunately. Oh and fuck this country, if I could get out then I would get out, but we arent all fortunate enough to be in the right financial situation to do this. *climbs down from soapbox* | |||

But the point is, it happened by stealth - nobody was ever asked if we wanted effective rule from Brussels. As for the 'fuck the UK' sentiment, all I can say as a former ex-pat working overseas is try living in another country for a while  | |||

I don't understand either of those. Surely if you choose to live somewhere other that the country you originate from you have done it to become part of that society and to embrace it's government, laws, quirks etc.
I would prefer to be within the EU and be able to travel freely around it. Britain frustrates me at times but I never slag it off. | |||

Shockingly, hardly anybody in europe took those visas because why would you uproot and take yourself to another country to work when they can cancel your visa on whim once you have served their purpose. A lot of brits that could claim dual citizenship with an EU member state did so, as it was very heavily pushed prior to our exit. But for a lot of people this just wasnt an option. And if they did have a system to provide EU passports to those who wanted to remain then they know as wellas I do that it would be heavily abused by those who wanted to leave but still wanted their nice sunny European holiday when it suits them. | |||

" I completely understand that (for both sides of the argument) there is little to be gained from raising the issue again, unless there is a realistic prospect for change of the current situation, whether that is re-joining the EU possibly in a slightly different format or whatever else. I have strong feelings about Brexit as it has impacted me (negatively) in so many ways. But I do not want the old negative emotions relating to Brexit and people to resurface in me and my friends. | |||

"I couldn't even tell you what it means "to be British". Is it where you are born? Or what your passport says? Does it depend on how long you lived in Britain or at what age? Or is it just a feeling?" It is really good question and it is not a straight forward answer as some would argue it is about where you are born. This would mean that some of my kids are, while the others are not! Some argue it is how long you have lived there - well, that is probably a part of it but not the whole picture as some people live here and do not even speak English. Some say it is how you feel - I have friends, and also have this in my family where some feel British AND another nationality. For me I feel European first and then my other nationalities, both of which I am proud. | |||

They do have views on Boris and his lack of integrity but they see that not as "British" but rather the lack of integrity of one man. | |||

True, You don’t find many ‘British food’ restaurants in other countries Only in holiday destinations. I’ve got a very multicultural family and other than a Sunday roast a lot of them don’t like English dishes." Any type of food cooked and seasoned badly is going to fail, whatever country it comes from. English food, slow cooked meats that go into cottage or shepherds pie, ox cheek, with buttery mash, pies are numerous and we have some of the best in the world. Along with the usual suspects like fish and chips, which are done badly 9 times out of 10. The British diet and restaurants changed dramatically during the 80's into the 90's that eventually pushed us into one of the best countries in the world to eat. The chefs, the restaurants are now world class, producing food that any country would be proud of. The biggest change in our food came from improvements in the service, back in the day you got a grunt and an attitude of if you don't like it.. The mainland European workforce, change the game and made eating out a joy rather than a chore. Bringing all of this together took time and it will probably be dismantled over time too. | |||

The biggest change in our food came from improvements in the service, back in the day you got a grunt and an attitude of if you don't like it..

" I agree 100% but most people coming to Britain or even trying British food abroad aren’t going to be eating it from the best chefs and restaurants. On the flip side you can go to pretty average restaurants and street vendors abroad and find amazing local dishes. | |||

I'm lucky to have some great street vendors that sell food from all over the world, including British.

You should try eating German. 
Bratwurst, Currywurst, Sauerkraut, and that bloody horrible concoction they call Sauerbraten (overcooked beef in vinegar).
To be fair northern Europeans didn't have much to go on in the past and cooking developed around what was available.
The Dutch and Scandinavians have very limited cuisine unless you like a lot of fish (roll mop herring anyone?)
The further south you go then the better climate and much wider selection of produce made life and cooking so much easier.
The tables seem to be turning though and British cooks are highly rated these days.

"Much as I hate Brexit and wasn’t in favour of it, Britain has done far more shameful things throughout history. Brexit was just another on a long list. Most major European countries have a shameful past with regards colonialism and unjust wars and I think in most EU countries there is some kind of anti EU party so it's possible someday other countries may leave the EU as well!" what's with all this shameful Ness be British be proud nothing in the past is shameful its what's made who we are. | |||

"I am not sure why this is a competition for who has the worst or best food. I use ingredients from all over the world and am not concerned about their "nationality. My friends and family, by and large, celebrate all foods, British, German, French etc... and in particular fusion food which takes bits from different origins. Also, just because you do not like ONE or two particular local food eg Sauerbraten (incidentally not overcooked but may have been on the particular occasion that it was tried and dismissed) that does not mean all, in this case German food is horrible. I really love bringing different flavours, recipes etc together and celebrate that international feeling. And that ranges from delicious British Bread and Butter Pudding to Pasta Vongole, Kaiserschmarrn, Chateaubriand and ...... you name it.

Sadly not. My ‘fine dining’ days are over. Peasant food for me these days. Mind you, in most countries it’s the best option.
True, fine dining is great but you often pay the price for the presentation
… and will end up down the chippy afterwards as all you will have had to eat is a sparrows knee cap on a bed of cress stalks infused with fresh air
Yep, the presentation,
The presentation goes deep! When they claim to have extracted the maximum flavour from a 5p carrot and charge you £28 as a starter. That is what I call a presentation "Ha, that’s true, there is a lot of smoke and mirrors abs empowers new clothing but the best food I have ever eaten is at fine dining restaurants | |||

"These people running down the nation of their birth are a peculiar bunch " is that what British means? Thanks for the clarification. Anyone else want to advance on this ? Maybe a definition that makes the PM British ? | |||

"Most decent British residents in Britain feel deeply ashamed to be British because of Brexit." Are you now saying only the decent people of UK voted remain and all the "non decent" voted leave? | |||

"These people running down the nation of their birth are a peculiar bunch is that what British means? Thanks for the clarification. Anyone else want to advance on this ?

I always state I'm English, if asked, but I always say I'm from the UK and never England or Britain. When I was younger I always referred to myself as English and from England, I wonder why this has changed? Was it because we were the UK in the EU and that stuck? | |||

"I am not sure why this is a competition for who has the worst or best food. I use ingredients from all over the world and am not concerned about their "nationality. My friends and family, by and large, celebrate all foods, British, German, French etc... and in particular fusion food which takes bits from different origins. Also, just because you do not like ONE or two particular local food eg Sauerbraten (incidentally not overcooked but may have been on the particular occasion that it was tried and dismissed) that does not mean all, in this case German food is horrible. I really love bringing different flavours, recipes etc together and celebrate that international feeling. And that ranges from delicious British Bread and Butter Pudding to Pasta Vongole, Kaiserschmarrn, Chateaubriand and ...... you name it.
Fully agree with you but someone has to take on the let's knock Britain mob on here.
Still don't like sauerbraten though. " | |||

Just look at all those sovereign decisions made by member states during Covid and now with war with Ukraine.
What Brexiters never admit is the laws, rules and regulations which did apply to the UK were actually written with UK involvement. Nobody “did it to us” it was “done with us”.
The UK had the most privileged position in the EU being outside of Schengen and not using the Euro. We had a veto. And massive influence as the 2nd biggest economy and 1st most powerful military.
The reasons cited by Leave for why we could negotiate on the world stage were actually the same reasons why we held such power in the EU but Leave convinced the gullible that the poor little UK was being bullied by the big bad EU! | |||

"Reports that British residents in EU countries feel deeply ashamed to be British because of Brexit. How do you feel? I voted Brexit and frankly couldn’t give a **** what others think. The people voted for it. As stated, if they feel so ashamed, why don’t they get another nationality??? Why did you vote for Brexit? Firstly, the idea of the “EU” was devised by Adolf Hitler, where Germany would rule the EU and control each of the member states. Lo and behold, Britain and all member states lost their right to make their own laws, the right to govern themselves, the right to choose who to let into the country and the right to govern their own finances and more. The majority of EU funding came from Britain, France and Germany…..just a few reasons why I voted Brexit. And we wonder why we're up Shit Creek
Haha, I am hoping this is a wind up, otherwise with this level of delusion we are definitely fucked
Oh. We're definitely fucked. The back doors have been well and truly smashed in and we're over the proverbial barrel..."I am a little bit more optimistic, I think it is just a ‘phase’ we are going through, the age of the stupid hopefully won’t last forever | |||

Brexit is a good idea, Trump was a good idea, Plandemic, Hitler Started the EU, the vaccine has nanobots, aliens built the pyramids.
We're living in an age where people believe any bollocks they're told.
Tbh, the levels of stupidity in Britain is truly shocking, no wonder the Tories don’t like to invest in education ,"Keeping the population compliant is a top priority. | |||

We're living in an age where people believe any bollocks they're told."The education system has failed them. The welfare state has allowed the stupid to multiply rather than be culled in mines, factories and wars. The advances of social media has made every cunt with a keyboard an export and pundit with a ‘following’. And then there’s the spin and continual PsyOps campaigns that are designed to cause discontent, division and ideological tribalism. All distraction. Not a clever conspiracy, simply the smart who have the means taking advantage of the stupid and clueless. Been that way for a long time. It is just that the speed, depth and scale of manipulation have all increased with technology. And some even get paid to help make it happen. Like shooting fish in a barrel. | |||
