That’s not what the statistics say. There’s a reason Nigel no longer mentions Brexit regularly. Because most Brits, even much of the racist bigoted ones or hoodwinked ones that vote for him, see that Brexit was a mistake. They’re living in that mistake.
I dunno. I’m an immigrant, so maybe I just refuse to get it on some level. My citizenship used to give me access to a whole continent, leaving was so painful and benefited only Russia. I’ll never solve the Hellraiser puzzle box of the British voter’s psyche, and maybe I should just be okay with that.
I’m an immigrant too, what makes you stay? Brexit was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me, and I left 2 years after. I figured that if I wasn’t going to be living in my home country, I wasn’t going to deal with the racist fallout of empowered racists post brexit. I moved onto a third country, and I’m doing ok here.
It’s hard enough to immigrate a young child once. If I did it again I don’t know if my kid could cope. Or my wife. I just finished supporting her through optometry school, and that degree only works in so many countries.
Also, before I even entertained moving again I’d have to think of a third country that would have us. And somehow isn’t also doing late stage capitalism bullshit, you know?
I moved my whole family once, and to everyone at home we’re the smart ones who got out. If I moved again it would start to look more habitual than Sybil-sighted. wan smile
I don’t see how it’s too early to rejoin, we were already a part of it and leaving was a mistake. Hurry back I say, and devil take the hindmost.
Rejoining is going to be a long process, if we are allowed at all, and it will just make the brexit skisim permanent and help Reform.

Yeah, it makes sense that family life makes moving difficult. Thank you for sharing.
