Yes- I've mentioned the B-word. Now, as an English person living outside the UK, I seem to have found myself against my own country, which I find truly sad as I want to love my country but err yeah. Anyway, no idea if anyone is actually going to reply to this but why not put myself out there and ask you all what you think about Brexit. For? Against? What do you think is going to happen? Good? Bad? Not going to judge any of your opinions, I'm just really interested to hear thoughts from people that are either a Brit or not. My personal opinion: I think Brexit is one of the worst decisions the UK has made. Yes, the EU has its flaws but it has its advantages. The thing that absolutely baffles me is how deluded the UK is behaving. People are asking to keep the advantages of being in the EU (aka free trade), yet they don't want to stay in the EU- how does that work? Now, I'm not an expert on this, not at all, I'm a 15 year old living outside the UK who watches BBC news every night, but I also feel like the referendum was completely unfair back in 2016. So many people didn't know what they were voting for, they weren't educated enough. All they saw were fingers being pointed at the big bad EU "they're stealing all our money, freedom, control". Also, what's going to happen to the NHS? Medicines? Education? Jobs? I mean I've personally decided not to go to university there now, which I was really looking forward to, but I feel like after Brexit, I would just be entering a prison, excluded from the rest of Europe. That's exaggerated I know but yeah. Enough of my blabble, tell me what you think and if you have any interesting articles I'd like to read those too.
My favourite bit is overhearing 80 year olds having conversations about being delighted with the result and knowing it was my future I didn't get to vote for.
