 How well did that work for you? As I am living in an EU country, we
probably get a skewed image on that, so I am asking out of genuine
interest how it feels from inside UK.
 

It feels like we were utterly betrayed by our own politicians who have chained us back to the EU and that if the EU had had the tanks that Putin has we would be in the position that Ukraine is in now.
What the politicians haven't dared to do is actually take us back in, and if the opinion polls are correct. in 4 years time we will have a government than is not so interested in being part of the EU. And will exercises some of the freedoms we gained - on paper, at least.
But its heartening to see the approach that other European countries have to the EU. I mean they just ignore it if it doisnt suit.
Don't want to put 'renewable energy' all over your nice country at enormous cost?
Well ignore the EUs 'renewable obligation' directive and simply *pay the fine*.  It's still cheaper than having the fucking windmills. Or don't pay the fine. What is Brussels going to do about it?
The canard that the EU and its adherents spread is that people who voted Brexit wanted to 'leave Europe' and 'didn't like foreigners'.
That is a total lie. No one voted to leave Europe. They voted to leave the EU.  Brexiteers like Europeans and Europe. Mostly. Its the bureaucrats in Brussels and their paymasters we mistrust.
We feel like we were simply the first to realise that the EU is not a great benevolent organisation that has the interests of all its citizens at heart, but a corrupt incompetent parasite that is going the wrong way about things and cannot be sacked. And that last is the real point. We have sacked so many Prime Ministers in the last 5 years for not getting the job done and we are about to sack the current one.
No one in that time has been able to sack Ursula Von der Leyden,  even though she is beyond incompetent and probably ought to be in jail for fraud and corruption. But its in the EUs rules that EU bureaucrats are above the law. Only EU law applies to them and that simply states that its a massive offence to criticise the EU, that's all.
The EU exercises power, but it is not accountable for its actions, It is literally a law unto itself.
Brexiteers of the more intelligent sort find that deeply disturbing. We have had wars to stop that  before.
The propaganda the EU and its minions have spread is that Brexit was all about Europe.
The truth its was - and is - nothing of the kind. It was all about the EU. An organisation that showed its true face when we tried to leave it.
And proved how right we were to try. Like Putin's Russia, it is behind the scenes a well disguised Mafia. A network of influence power and corruption that has legalised itself by buying or blackmailing the national politicians.
It has to go. And it will.

Greetings
Marc
