This is not any stupid...this is IDS stupid....
Don't you find it rather frightening that those who run the country have so little clue as to the implications of Brexit and NI? It is not as though no-one warned about this.

as soon as it became apparent I'm not a brexiteer.
How do you display the fact that you are not a Brexiteer? Do you wear an EU flag t-shirt or have it tattooed on your cheek?

I have been abroad several times since the vote in 2016, not once has the conversation with any of the local French or German people I have engaged with turned to Brexit. Do you bring it up to highlight that you didn't vote for it?

It tends to come up as we cycle through the conversation, about place of origin, and jobs that kind of thing .

My main occupation is still very much affected by brexit, there's still a lot unresolved, so if I'm with farming folk then it will come up pretty swiftly.

On a more personal level it upset me greatly when we brexitted for all the other reasons that have been rehearsed over and over here, including mine and my kids opportunities being restricted.

So I might express that feeling as well.
Express my sadness at it all.

And I've been asked directly along the lines of ' brexit wtaf ?' by people from other countries too.
