No matter how optimistic you are, the facts will be facts and reality will be borne out.
Other than nice landscapes and pubs and a certain cultural flavour, all DIFFERENT but not better than anywhere else, what is there to celebrate? You can say that about anywhere which enjoys the same standard of living and temperate climate.
Pretending everything il be alright just sets you up for eternal unfulfilled wishing and at my age I want things to happen a tad faster than that. You already had stability, comfort, freedom, alliances against hostile trade, like minded united friends and realistic expectations. Someone told you those didn't matter and that you REALLY wanted something else. They roused you with some historical rallying cry for let's face it their own glory. So you threw all those away and HOPE you can find some of them elsewhere. In a very cold unforgiving REAL world.
I don't think you will in a very long time.

Re: What does Brexit mean to you?
Mrs Flicker reminds me of a 'customer' I had when I worked in an office just after leaving school.'Mrs L' (I should not state her real name, although she's probably dead now) was what I suppose we should call a 'mentally disturbed person' who would write long epistles on a regular basis in which she would ramble on at length about nothing of any importance. These would include such things as informing us of various indiscretions performed by certain royal personages (presumably, of whom she was personally acquainted).
I was fortunate to be the first to read her letters, as they were sent to me, but I always passed them around the office so that everyone could have a laugh.
The drawback, of course, was that I had to restrain myself and be very polite when responding to her.

And this is the thanks we get! You cuddle up to the country that wanted to destroy France and replace it with the third reich, and then bite the hand who gave you back your freedom. It's a good job that all French people don't think like you.
