Leave voters in UK's EU referendum are so gullible, they can even be led to believe they knew what they were voting for with brexit😂 #FBPE #FollowBackProEU🇪🇺

I know both sides have their ‘Red Lines’ in #Brexit negotiations,
but ‘no cherry picking’ is a lot clearer than
“I want my cake and I want it delivered ‘Just in Time’ by Unicorns with no hold-ups at the border and it should have zero tariff and we don’t expect to pay a thing”
Barnier: The four freedoms are ‘indivisible’
But but but.... We’re the fifth largest economy and we buy all these cars!
German Car makers: The integrity of the Single Market is more important
But but but .....

Thread (not for the fainthearted Brexiteers)
I'll let you in on a little secret my Brexiteer friends. Although my English is better than most Leave voters, (I know when to use their, they're and there), I am Dutch and studied Economics at the University of Rotterdam. Have an MBA.
2/ Exports represent about 83% of the Dutch Economy and this number, incredibly while in the EU, is still rising.
The comparable percentage for UK exports is 33% of GDP and going down these last few years. It peaked around 2013 in fact.

As a Dutchman having lived, worked and raised a family in UK,
the feeling that best describes my #brexit emotions is:
Come on UK, I love you and respect you, but also be aware,
there’s nothing special about you as a country that means you deserve ‘special treatment’ from EU.
In the past the U.K. has had the fortune of having had clever diplomats that have secured some opt outs and special consideration. But make no mistake, when UK eventually joined the EU, we in the rest of Europe were mainly feeling sorry for you and yes we owed you a WWII favour
