By almost every economic and financial measure, parting ways with the EU almost eight years ago has been disastrous for the UK. Is there no end in sight?
And then it got worse as the goal posts kept changing as to what “Brexit” meant. To the point where a no deal went from being something remain were lampooned for saying could happen to being apparently what people wanted.
I remember waking up after the referendum and being really sad, the UK was an ally to us Danes on most EU-issues, and it felt a little bit like a breakup. I still haven’t really forgiven you lot, to be honest, which is silly but true.
I think most Europeans felt that, because after all the uk was a founding member and an integral and valued part of the union with an unprecedented amount of preferential treatment. When they left it was a bit like your partner leaves to fuck some homewrecker for a couple months before they realize how good they had it, but it’s ruined now.
The UK wasn’t a founding member, unless you start counting from the Maastricht treaty, and that was really just a continuation of the others going back to about 1948.
Genuinely felt some betrayal and paranoia after I voted against it and it went through.
Similar to here when our own conservative-party, orange-haired wacko-clown won… at least you can hold your own head high, having fought against it:-).

Brexit meant brexit. And something about ready meals.
