FoM did not end at all .
it ended for minority of EU citizens wanting to move , work etc in the UK .
In return FoM ended for 100% of British citizens .
UK is first country on Earth deciding to apply economical sanctions agains itself .
No matter how much one dresses it ,and there is plenty advocates of pseudo reasons, why it was “good” idea on this forum - s…t that is brexit remains s…t .
It's telling that the changes (still evolving) deriving from the Withdrawl/Brexit treaties are now routinely referred to as "Brexit freedoms".
eg the extra time you spend in passport queues, the higher prices and extra obstacles to EU trade, and the extra sanitary checks at ports etc are all "Brexit freedoms".
The import checks are supposed to be "protecting the UK from disease and lower animal welfare standards".
These checks were not required up to 2020 so why are they needed now? - because we insisted on WTO rules for trade with the EU.
Tens of thousands of civil servants are needed to staff these new controls, at a time when the government is desperate to reduce the size of the civil service.
The instant rejection of the proposed youth travel scheme is because of the pathological Tory dislike of the ECJ (which we helped set up and run).
The Tories won't contemplate being a "rule-taker" policed by the ECJ, however beneficial the scheme.
Hopefully Kier Starmer will find a more constructive way to build back a better relationship with the EU - but it won't be easy to persuade the Faragiste faction and the Brexit press.
The Express is still busily inventing anti-EU stories and praises every tiny supposed benefit of the Brexit deal.
It is not just satisfied with being outside the EU, it is still anticipating the demise of the EU and its policies (free movement, the euro, ECJ, the Commission etc).
