Leaving this useless club is the BEST thing that Britain will do. We cannot allow Brussels to make all our laws and decide what we can and can't do.

The UK has voted to leave the EU, so its citizens will stop been EU citizens... that's all.
Will the American people who did not vote for Trump will have Hillary Clinton as president?

This. I'm jealous though, the scammers that run the eu will never allow smaller countries to leave, unless we go full North Korea-style.

They are already in Germany so that human capital is gone. However, there are plenty of EU citizens rushing to get permanent residency in the UK so it cuts both ways.

But your post is symptomatic of the arrogance of the 'entitlement generation' and its lack of respect not just for a democratic vote but for people who voted differently to them.

Next steps for the EU will be tax 'harmonisation' which will be aimed at countries like Ireland and Luxembourg.

It's called 'selection bias': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias

He is judging the Brits by the Brits he sees in Germany, the Romanians by the Romanians he sees in Gerrmany and so on, but never questions the actual % from the whole population. I mean if I visit concert of Guns 'n Roses and count 10,000 people there it doesn't mean everyone listens to Guns n Roses these days just because I saw 10,000 people one after another who did...at a single place.

No. That's like saying people who voted for Hillary Clinton should have her as president anyway.

I really don't get the hard-on people have for the EU. It's past it's prime already.

Useless club?

I drove to Spain this summer for my holidays.
- No stopping at the borders. No waiting time, no irrelevant questions by customs officers.
- Same currency used within all 3 countries. No need to go to the bank or to constantly convert prices in your head.
- No need to worry about internet or mobile phone charges, since mid June they are the same as at home.

For me the EU makes perfect sense.

Your statement that Brussels makes or wants to make all your laws shows your ignorance and reliance on the British media. The EU only decides on a small number of issues. Most citizens of the 27 other countries do not feel threatened by the EU - we don't have a Murdoch press.
