Wonder how many people the UK screwed over with Brexit that now feel similarly towards the UK?

This is a serious point. I knew dozens of high-skilled tech-based Europeans who left the UK due to Brexit and felt both hurt and offended.

This should not be downvoted. My undergraduate advisor had a vicious hatred for Margaret Thatcher and the 1981 cuts that caused him to seek employment abroad.

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all.

For me, the UK government quite literally took away my EU citizenship. Something I was making use of, and had significant life plans for. I am far fucking beyond not impressed about that.

In the meantime I've returned to Australia and am getting things done here.
