    As a person in the UK, I got the exact opposite of what I wanted. I was too young to vote at the time, so I, along with everyone else my age, had no say in our future, whereas my grandad voted for Brexit and died before it actually happened, so he won’t have to live with the consequences.

    It’s also caused me a whole load of problems directly, since I’m a language student and I went to Germany for part of my year abroad. There’s so much more bureaucracy, as well as significant fees. So no, the people in the UK are not getting what they wanted at all. Maybe apart from those idiots who went on about “British sovereignty” and rubbish like that.

      Germany is struggling with a lot of demographic change and desperately needs young people. If you like it here and feel welcome enough (something unfortunately many Germans dont show towards “brown” people) you could emigrate to Germany.

        I really enjoyed living and studying in Germany, so it’s definitely something I’d consider doing!

        (On a side note, the “Black” part of my username actually has nothing to do with skin colour, in the same way that Gandalf the Grey didn’t have grey skin! It’s just about the colour of the robes.)
