Save you a click:

“Regarding Nick Inman’s request in October’s Connexion for people who are happier after Brexit: well, my husband and I, both of whom voted for Brexit, are no less happier than when we arrived in France in 2003.

“We voted for Brexit because we were under the impression that the UK would be able to control immigration and would regain sovereignty. That was a mistake and it did not work. However, since then, as far as we are concerned, life here is just as good as the day we arrived. 

“The only people who do not like Brexit are the moaners who did not get their own way. They were so convinced they knew best that many did not even bother to vote.
June Shute, by email.”

In short, then: June voted for Brexit so Britain could control immigration and regain sovereignty, both of which she admits it has failed to deliver. She sees no other ill-effects of Brexit, but that is because she lives in France, and not the UK – an opportunity that her vote has helped to deny to millions of others. And anyone who complains about the lack of logic in the above is just a moaner.

Is this the clickbaitest title I ever read?
