The UK thought it was getting a poor deal, when it had the most exceptions in the EU. It will still need another generation or two for the UK to realise that it is not the old empire anymore.

The UK collectively freaked the fuck out about passport colors. Passport colors.

If we tell them they have to get rid of their QEII paper bills to replace them with imaginary bridges, they might just commit nationwide seppuku. I don't want that on my conscience so for everyone's sake let them stay out.
