Indeed - and so this explains why I roll my eyes at silly comments along the lines as 'they [Brits] voted for it, let them stand in a queue at the airport or lose their .eu domains'.
It would seem to be more equitable to me a least (someone who voted remain and lives in the EU) if the ballot had presented the options of "Remain" or "Remain and ignore all of the rules". But I don't think that would be particularly popular with the rest of the EU populace, and yet, effectively, it's what's happening.

For me, the most sad thing to see was that despite all of these issues and the utterly insane blunders of the last years that weren't even related to Brexit or Covid, the Tories are still in charge...
- alibarber 3y agoI have a slightly controversial opinion on this in that I apportion quite a lot of the blame onto Labour at the time too - pre Johnson (i.e. the Corbyn years) what effective opposition was there? Why did they then perform so utterly poorly in the election? It’s one thing to be popular with a vocal segment of enthusiasts, but unfortunately they only count votes. And yes, first past the post and all that, but there was still an incredibly clear swing on the popular vote (-8%) away from them.
