Put your head back in the sand if Brexit is too painful for ya boyo.
Brexit is boring, yes. Put your head back in the sand, it will be better for you.
Brexiteers seem to have a 'victim complex' when it comes to the EU.
Whereas the EU is simply adhering to trade deals (that the UK helped form) and quite rightly so.
But here is a simplified version which even simple leavers might understand.
"Leaving the EU automatically means that the UK becomes a “third country” to the bloc.
When the EU did some 40 free trade deals with the likes of South Korea, Mexico and South Africa the agreements stipulated that any produce or manufactured good which passed between them tariff-free had to have genuinely originated in the two signatory countries or blocs.
This stipulation was necessary to prevent other countries essentially free-riding on the deal. For instance, a firm in a third country could export their goods to one of the two parties to the free trade agreement and then re-export goods to the other party without paying the applicable tariffs.
To prevent this happening the two countries in the deal impose “rules of origin” checks on imports. For the UK, while it’s in the EU, this is not a problem. Any UK goods pass through fine. Also, any UK components in EU goods are not a problem at all.
But with the UK out of the EU’s customs union the situation is potentially very different. Rules of origin specify that a certain proportion of a good has to have been made in the country or bloc to qualify. The proportion varies with the good in question, but it’s often around 50 per cent. For cars the requirement is 60 per cent.
If, after Brexit, an EU business has used components sourced in the UK, that could potentially push the proportion of the exported EU good under the threshold, meaning it would fail the rule of origin requirement and be forced to pay the standard tariff.
This is why the commission has issued its warning to EU firms to be wary about using UK manufactured goods if they don’t want to have a nasty surprise when they seek to export to third countries with which the EU has a trade deal."
It also means that in order to get individual trade agreement with countries such as these post brexit, we'll have to be very generous with our terms and essentially undercut the EU.
Welcome to the UK - the newest sweatshop country!

The only way to describe this is there are rules which the UK as part of the EU helped form. Now we are crying foul of those same rules when we leave.
I'd expect that from a five year old kid.
Brexit is a faith, you can't argue with faith no matter how stupid.

At least thanks to unlimited immigration we now have plenty of third world types to work in them sweatshops.
The UK voted for Brexit in a fair and democratic election.
There fore any government of the day , should be or is duty bound to respect that democratic result , after all this is the UK not UK-a-stahn. (yet )
Parliament / government could ignore the result after all the majority of MPs are remainers / remoaners . Perhaps they should stand up and act like they have got a pair & ignore the result ( they will not )
But what they will do is attempt to subvert democracy , but in such a way as to maintain there (the illusion) democratic credentials
crack on I say . Personally I do not give a ***t

Not "the UK."
Some of the voters.
You will agree that it was not 100% of the population.
It was never going to get wholehearted support.
It's possible that there were some people who thought they'd voted for an end to immigration and £350m a week extra for the NHS.
Did anybody vote for an end to free trade with the EU, and a border between NI and GB?
We'll never know what most of the Quitters thought they were voting for because they won't say.
We've ended up with a mail-order bride who is a lot uglier than we were led to believe, and costs a lot more. Have we still got to marry her?
