Britons living in EU slam ‘s*** show
Brexit has caused anger among Britons in the EU, with some branding it a “shit show”.
A survey of 1,328 British nationals across the continent was undertaken by Lancaster and Birmingham Universities. Many Britons in Europe expressed concerns over their loss of free movement and voting rights.
Asked whether their past or future migration plans had been affected by Brexit, 27 percent of respondents said it had affected them a great deal, and 14 percent a lot.
One respondent said: “I moved to France in 2020 in order to protect my right to live and work in France post-Brexit. My migration is 100 per cent a result of Brexit.”
Other responses included damning verdicts such as “deep shame”, “disappointment”, “a s***show”, “embarrassed to be British”, “shambolic”, and “like watching a house on fire”.
