  The only benefit of brexit is that it got me motivated enough to apply for my dual EU citizenship, that I had been putting off for years

  Considering farmers are protesting exactly the same thing in France… I don’t think that has anything to do with it.

    But that’s not what they’re protesting in France… I mean, it’s partially that, but the majority of the protest is around government regulation and the push to lower inflation causing farmers to get paid less. The stuff they’re protesting in regards to imports is because the imports don’t have to meet the stringent EU regs.
