Brexit is a tragedy that happened as a play of few people's political career. Now British people need to go through the EU bureaucracy to have a life in EU and the EU citizens need to go through UK bureaucracy to have a life in UK. For what?
Interesting fact: fear of immigration has evaporated after Brexit, despite that immigration to UK has increased. Maybe the Brexiters finally sleep well knowing that "they have control over their borders" or maybe the the media campaign of fear mongering died off.[0]
I'm very sorry that UK citizens lost their EU citizenship, British are part of Europe and have a huge positive impact. I'm sorry that you will need to pay fees, fill forms, get employment rejections due to non-meritocratic reasons like paperwork and visa.
Putting the government as the first line in the human resources is just beyond me. Feels like we are treated like cattle and persons need to prove worthiness to work and stay with us to the bureaucrats. It's not even the rules of immigration, which might make sense in certain situation but the act of working through the process itself is dehumanising. It's not enough to find a job that pays above certain amount or considered in demand, you need to spend money and time to expose yourself to someone who doesn't know you and has no business in your dealings and hope that they find you worthy.
