Is it embarrassing to be an expat? Brits living abroad are distancing themselves from the term after Brexit

British people living in Turkey don’t want to be seen as uninterested in local culture or language.

Would have never called myself an ex-pat tbh, with or without Brexit. Have met some horrible ‘ex-para’ over the years.

The label is nearly always indicative of brits who refuse to make the effort to integrate into the society in which they find themselves

Yeah that’s always been my experience.

Liz Truss: what I told European colleagues when they asked me what on Earth is going on in British politics

The Conservative party is in chaos but that is perhaps a symptom of a wider problem in the British political system.

Sticking my head in here for the first time.

The poll on page 1 is staggering.

Even though the ability to change vote is there, around 30% are still 'out'.

I wish I could see what they see.

My once a year visit.

I see now the figure is 32% 'out' (Over 300 people)

Can at least a few of those 300 list some tangible benefits since the UK left the EU? (to save your thumbs, don't bother listing relatively small trade deals with far flung nations)

Do you feel just a little bit stupid about the lies you were sold?

Before brexit, 4 prime ministers in 22 years. Since brexit, (soon to be come) 4 prime ministers in 6 years. Before brexit, 7 chancellor's in 39 years. Since brexit, 7 chancellor's in 6 years.

The country has been destabilised almost beyond repaid because of it. The whole farce has benefited a very small amount of it's own citizens but benefited our competitors and enemies abroad. The only tangible benefit I've experienced has been a cheaper bottle of whiskey on the Dublin to Holyhead ferry! Everything else more time consuming and more expensive. More environmental damage. I very much doubt we will ever see the funding we had to our most deprived areas either. All that will now be swallowed up paying off the mess of this government.

It’s everyone else fault apart from the people that continually vote for this lot and further enable them.
Very few are willing to take responsibility

Wait until we take back jersey

The racist bastards have a lot to answer for.
