Difference being, they never were in, they never got all the exemptions and goodies the brits got.
As a citizen of Germany I would like the brexit as a wake up call to the powers of the EU and my government alike. IF they would understand the signs written by the brits onto the wall, which I doubt. Thus a brexit might be in vain and Iīm pretty sure it will hurt the British economy hard.
I might be completely wrong though.
I canīt do anything about it anyhow, so why do I bother ?
As a wiser person once sung:
what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing
- you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost?
Always (Nothing.) look on the right side of life...
