Yes need to stop dreaming, options for moving to sunnier climes all but gone and only for rich folk.
Should have never trusted Boris, he made it all sound so simple

Well if it makes you feel better I live in the Deep South, I can’t afford my own home and earn less than £20 per hour with no savings or assets, yet I’m happy with my lot, try and be positive Nicko and learn to be happy with what you have got, delete any negative thoughts you have and focus on the positives, feel free to PM if you like.

Even though it has been 4.5 years since you have mourned the loss of Europe, now Is the time to move on.
I would like to give you some hope and energy that some of you guys may have lost along the way with the #britaintogether anthem.

That is disappointing, I thought they may able to take one last charge.
I am not sure they can recycle them all, there is an old Rayleigh Chopper in there that is frankly a write-off.

I see a couple of cretins which I have on ignore are posting frantically. Are they comparing who shot their bolt the fastest, at the stroke of midnight? I'd bet my life they're not posting any positives, apart from the mythical 'sovereignty' bollux, blue (but not really blue) passports, and the tired old 3-word slogans, like 'taking back control' ( ha!) and the meaningless 'let's get going'.
Oh, probably a couple of YT clips, for good measure?

Morning folks - happy new year and happy 1972 to the brexiters
Try 1962 as we were in EFTA for 10 years before joining the EU.
Tories today are bragging they’ve abolished the tampon tax, but George Osborne had already negotiated it.
Ireland is in the EU, but abolished it last year.
Scotland provides feminine hygiene free of charge.

Tampontastic
Putting to one side that dubious SAUCE ..
EFTA was set up in 1960, the UK being a founding member
Osborne claimed he had ..
“We said we’d fight for agreement to reduce the VAT rate to zero and tonight all European leaders have welcomed our plan to do just that,” Mr Osborne said. “We’ve achieved what no British government has even tried to achieve.”
The commission proposal, in practice an options paper, would set out ideas for reforming rules in the EU whereby VAT rates of less than 15 per cent can only be applied to a limited list of core products and services. The limitations of the list have been the source of endless spats between EU nations, as well as between governments and the commission, which is obliged to uphold the rules. The current system restricts when zero VAT rates can be applied.
In a recent case, France and Luxembourg clashed with the commission over the extension of ultra-low rates for books to ebooks. They were defeated in the courts last year because of an EU ban on reducing rates for “electronically supplied services”. The restrictions of the current system have also prevented the UK from applying a VAT rate to tampons of less than 5 per cent.
In the most radical option in the commission paper, the list would be scrapped, along with the standard 15 per cent rate, giving nations “greater freedom on the number of reduced rates and their level”.
While the backing of EU leaders for change was hailed as a victory by British officials, in practice there is a long way to go before the rules are changed. The commission plans, due to be published next week, must be followed by legislation to take effect. Any changes to the system would require unanimous support by EU nations.

The above showing the absurd number of diplomatic hurdles and endless bureaucracy needed to simply reduce a vat rate from 5 to 0%, still waiting in the EU but the Uk government has abolished that rate today.
Ireland already had a zero rate before the EU legislation kicked in so they were exempt

Prominent Norwegian politicians now calling for a public enquiry to try to change the terms of their EEA membership after seeing the splendid deal the UK has secured.

It may well be a better deal if you don't care about ( particularly financial ) services.
Do Norway have a massive financial services sector ?
On the other hand our financial services would benefit mightily from a Norway deal.
Can we swap deals with Norway ?

Financial services tax contributions to the economy circa £80B p.a, good job they've given it the highest priority
