do a bespoke customs union. Time will tell. And not every Leave vote was cast by RW racists. Plenty on the Left also voted Leave. I voted Remain, and Brexit really puts me in a bind as I am now living in the EU outside of the UK for several years now and may have to cashier my US citizenship to take a Swedish one if I wish to have free EU right of movement.

We both agree its a true shite sandwich. The only truly good outcome for all would be a 2nd referendum and a Remain outcome from that. I am not holding my breath. Sorry for your (and all the Irish) predicament. Getting fucked by Westminster is nothing new for you, unfortunately.
