@dsl: well, a warning sign may be not too bad - but to muller yourself into the (shit)hole, as the Brits have done with their Brexit-bullshit is annother thing.
The rest of Europe -mee, too- is still perplexed about the naivety of the Brexiteers, and about their big eyes and helplessness about the upcoming problems and disasters, as the inner-Irish border, the non-existing IT-programme for the customs controls, the social insurance of the British citizens, living in the EU (My wife and me are still wondering, why the BBC still aires "A place in the sun") and even travelling with pets.
Last weekend, on a short trip to Scotland

Not the best clip, but filmed from our position, I may be visible, too)
we felt this narrow-mindness again: because GB is and was never in the Schengen-Zone, there was a passport-control at the airports - those on the way back to Weeze (a former Royal Air Force airfield at the Dutch border) has cost us half an hour!
For non-Middle-Europeans: we here are used to travel unstopped and unmolested across the whole continent (except to obscure banana republics as the Kosovo, Republica Srpska, Switzerland and Great Britain)!
The chavvy blokes, coming from Mallorca could go directly to their luggage, but we had to stand around as idiots!
In Scotland I was surprised to spot within a few hours a Dennis Tipper (on a construction area at the Edinburgh Airport), a Triumph 2000 and even Rootes-crap, a Sunbeam Alpine (both in Linlithgow).
My thought was:
"There will be Brexiteer-morons, who will think, that the upcoming Brexit is responsible for that increasing classic Britishness".
Btw.: I thought to become a candidate for the European election next year. But I cannot join the German party congress of my party - because I plan to go to Beaulieu on that weekend.
