Brexiters - Europeans aren't punishing us for Brexit, they're treating us like a third country because you voted to turn Britain into a third country and you won.
I believe that you should be able to jump on a train, get a job in Holland, find love in Denmark, start a family in France, be educated in Germany and retire in Spain, all without the hassle of visas and health insurance.
Do you believe the same?

What is the most vile and sinister phrase of the pandemic and it's overarching discourse so far?
I'll kick things off with 'they had underlying health conditions'.
So the entire reason for Leave's victory is because of a lie.
If Switzerland can cancel their referendums due to misinformation, why can't we? I thought we were the greatest democracy in the world...🤔
We're facing a choice as a country:
Freedom or Brexit
Peace or Brexit
Opportunity or Brexit
Change or Brexit
Reform or Brexit
Progress or Brexit
Richer or Brexit
Decency or Brexit
Democracy or Brexit
Accountability or Brexit
Rule of Law or Brexit
Truth or Brexit
Honesty or Brexit
After 11 years of Conservative government, can anyone tell me how the country has been improved? Is it in a better state? Do we have more rights as citizens? Are public services & infrastructure better? Is the country more powerful?
Why is it that, when I think of all that Brexit has brought this country, I can only think of failure, fear, anger, hatred, betrayal, racism and conspiracy?
Why is it that, when I think of what the EU has brought this country, I think of hope, freedom, peace, love & prosperity?
Can righties explain to me how working-class born, merited knight Keir Starmer is out of touch, but Eton-educated, burner of £50 note in front of homeless man Boris Johnson is a salt of the earth man of the people?
It took months to sack Raab for bullying.
It took months to sack Zahawi for his tax scandal.
Johnson knew Pincher was a sex pest but promoted him anyway.
Tories who criticise Starmer and Labour for their slow action have more frontage than a Texas car dealership.
A Labour government will make mistakes.
A Labour government will do things that you won't agree with.
But a Labour government will always serve the British people better than a Conservative government.
@june_mummery
This really has to be one of the most pathetic, unintentional realisations I have ever seen.
There is no sovereignty without power, therefore Brexit is pointless in a world with shrinking fish populations and interdependence between European and global nations.
Nazi-style propaganda.
Nazi-style discourse.
Nazi-style rallies (including ejection of 'undesirables').
Nazi-style protest.
It is not an exaggeration to call the Brexit Party a Nazi party.
Brexiters won pretty much everything they sought to gain and Remainers lost everything we wanted to keep. And Remainers are the ones who have to compromise and get behind Brexit?
@KEdge23
You can't have a balanced diet on just pasta. And the cost of making a meal isn't 50p.
And once again, in tweets like these, you're announcing how much value you have for people who have less than you, and how much you think they deserve.
I don't agree with Keir Starmer on everything, but I'm able to see the bigger picture. My views are secondary - change starts when we bring about a Labour government, win the battle for the future and change millions of lives.

As an EU citizen, I can travel to France as if I were travelling to Manchester (apart from showing my passport in Folkestone). I can vote for competent, progressive representatives who will help shape Europe for the future generations.
And Brexit offers me what, exactly?
When Angela Rayner called a Tory 'scum', everyone was on about how words matter in politics and how MPs were attacked.
When Boris Johnson accused Starmer of being responsible for Savile not facing justice, how many of those who criticised Rayner did the same to Johnson?
I will be voting for Labour in the next general election.
Without hesitation.
Without reservation.
Without guilt.
Head and heart united in conviction.
And it's such a great feeling.
Why should Britain stay outside the customs union? Why should exporters have to adapt to an inferior arrangement? Why should we accept this regression?
EU: Here is some money to help combat child poverty.
Tories: No thanks.
EU: How about some funds to help flood-hit communities recover?
Tories: No thanks.
EU: How about an initiative to get ventilators and PPE?
Tories: No- I mean, sorry missed the email.
Anyone who says the working class don't care about
#Erasmus
are saying that the working class should stay in their lane and have no right to better themselves.
Zac Goldsmith has been rejected by his constituency's electorate. They rejected his representation and has no mandate to serve in the government.
Nicky Morgan withdrew from the scrutiny of her electorate, yet still finds herself serving in government.
How can this happen?
Brexit was never meant to restore the glory days of Blackpool or rejuvenate Grimsby or reinvigorate Margate.
It was always about enriching the already very wealthy and avoiding their obligations to society.
Sounding Big Ben upon exiting the EU is a moment for Brexiters.
Minting the 50p is a monument to Brexit.
Reverting the passport to blue is a token for Brexiters.
What is being done for Remainers? What is our olive branch after years of government and media antagonism?
Ah, just over 2 weeks until we leave the EU. I'm really looking forward to being able to do things that we couldn't do as EU members, such as... um... oh, silly me! How've I forgotten? Could you be so kind as to remind me of the things that we alone can do better than the EU?
@BBCPolitics
Of course he looked shocked. The idea that his actions have consequences, let alone the idea that he should be held accountable for them, goes against his entire worldview.
Brexit will end up costing at least £100 billion.
So what's the point of recouping the £39 billion?
If you wanted money to spend on NHS, education or infrastructure...
WHY THE FUCK ARE WE WASTING £100 BILLION FOR SUPPOSEDLY 39 OF THOSE BILLIONS?
The far-right wanted Brexit.
The far-right killed an MP.
The far-right infected the Tories.
The far-right are the fastest growing terror threat in the UK.
We fought the far-right in the Second World War.
If you're on the Left and actively trying to stop the Labour Party from winning the next election, as unlikely it is that you'll succeed, your intention shows that you are selfish, conceited and are on the Tories' side.
There are no benefits to Brexit.
There are no advantages to Brexit.
There are no betterments through Brexit.
There are no dividends from Brexit.
Just prove me wrong. That's all I'm asking. I've come to terms that I lost. But what did you win us to replace what we lost?
@calvinrobinson
@Ryanair
Nice classism there, Cal. And you saying 'stay out of politics' while screeching 'why don't you respect my free speech' is one of, if not the greatest hypocrisies of the Right.
This morning, two passengers behind me were conversing in their language.
I didn't feel the urge to instruct them to speak a language they probably struggle with.
I didn't think that they shouldn't be in this country.
Am I doing it wrong?
People who are complaining now didn't vote for, were never going to vote for, and will never vote for Labour
I would vote Labour without hesitation tomorrow because a Labour government that doesn't go far enough will always be better than a Tory government that merely conserves
JK Rowling won't vote for the guy who prosecuted more violent crimes against women and girls than any previous DPP and won't vote for the party that will set up rape courts to clear the backlog and increase the risible conviction rate.
Weird flex but okay.
EXCLUSIVE:
JK Rowling has accused Sir Keir Starmer of 'abandoning women' who are concerned about transgender rights
In an article for The Times the author criticised the Labour leader for taking a 'dismissive and often offensive' approach to feminist concerns
She said she can
@jesse_sumpter
The wife is not the property or chattel of the husband. Marriage is about two individuals committing to a lifetime of mutual love, respect, honour and loyalty, not the man's ownership of the woman.
The way to inspire patriotism is not to say Britain is great every couple of hours but to actually build a country whose greatness speaks for itself: where nobody is homeless, impoverished or disadvantaged and where everyone can and wants to live in comfort and freedom.
I don't care if Starmer's boring - we need boring competence after half a decade of extravagant, theatrical politics. All I want from a leader is that they’re a decent person with the drive to bring about betterment of the country. They don't need weird hair or particular accent.
Even if I wasn't a Labour member, I'm not putting all these conditions on voting for them. They've a track record of leaving 🇬🇧 in a better state than what they inherited. The only thing that matters to me is getting the Tories out and getting Labour in, then hold them to account
'What does Labour stand for?'
It stands for:
Nationalisation of public transport
A state-owned energy producing company
Reversing the outsourcing of council services
Millions of homes
Good government
That's what they stand for.
That's what makes them different to the Tories.
Owen Jones could have quietly bowed out of a party that wasn't for him anymore. Fair enough.
But not only did he make a song and dance about it, he called on people to vote for other parties.
Tory enabler. He needs a Tory government more than he wants a Labour government.
Brexiters don't get why I'm mad about losing my FoM.
It's not about being able to afford to travel across and establish in the EU.
It's not about who uses it or how many times.
It's that it was our birthright as EU citizens and it was cut out of my body without my consent.
After 12 years of Conservative government, this country is in a worse state than what they inherited.
That's why I'm voting for Labour in the next general election.
Keir Starmer's Shadow Cabinet is more competent.
Keir Starmer's Shadow Cabinet is more professional.
Keir Starmer's Shadow Cabinet is more disciplined.
Keir Starmer would make a better Prime Minister than Boris Johnson.
The UK has not elected an eloquent, strong, inspiring leader.
It has elected a racist, lying moron.
It has elected a homophobic, sexist bigot.
It has elected a babbling, incoherent ponce.
It has elected an arrogant, cowardly charlatan who holds us all in contempt.
We are shocked and saddened to report some of our volunteer crew were verbally assaulted due to their role when reporting for duty tonight. This behaviour will not be tolerated. Thank you
