A democratically elected govt with a mandate from a democratic referendum.

The rights came with membership of a club. We left the club.

They did vote for it.
That’s not an opinion.
Lots of us are unhappy at the result, but it is a waste of energy to try to make EU change for UK.

It is the UK that needs to change

You’re taking the analogy too far.
Democracy means the will of the majority (or largest group) wins.
Accepting defeat s part of the deal.

Irrelevant.

You and me both - actually I was denied a vote - but that’s not how democracy works

I don’t get this “didn’t come up on the referendum/not what we voted for” line.
If you vote to jump off a cliff, you can’t complain when you hit the ground.

I forget nothing.
You can have many properties, but only one home.
Want unlimited (visa-free) stays on the mainland? Become a resident (and pay tax)

Better to spend your energies trying to change the UK and its voters rather than demanding special treatment from the EU that they will NEVER give.

Now that there is scant possibility of being dragged onto the factory floor and beaten to death, they no longer feel they need to moderate their behaviour/share the wealth ...

They marched to CCR’s Fortunate Son.
Do google the lyrics if unfamiliar.

Sorry to be blunt, but it’s not your home.
As the old saying goes: Home is where the tax return is!
