Britain voted to leave the EU five years ago:
What Is Brexit? And How Is It Going? - The New York Times
A week ago, people who campaigned for Brexit were complaining that there weren't enough foreign workers to do the low-paid jobs in the UK:
Jay Doubleyou: can we have our immigrants back, please?
The comedian and satirist Mark Steel, writing in the Independent can quite understand their situation:
Several chains of restaurants and hotels are saying they can’t open because foreign staff have returned home. So we need to find a way they can work for us, while not actually being here. If they could go home between pouring each drink, that would help.
... Who could possibly have known in advance that getting rid of 188,000 people from abroad who did jobs here, would leave us with a workforce that was 188,000 short?
How could they know that if the people who serve the coffees and pick the strawberries all leave, there would be no one to serve the coffees and pick the strawberries?Watching Tim Martin squirm almost makes Brexit worth it | The Independent

From a nice little list of best Brexit jokes:
An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a bar. The Englishman wanted to go so they all had to leave.
“I voted Remain, not just for political reasons but because my mum’s moved to Spain and I want her to stay there.”
“Why does Britain like tea so much? Because tea leaves.”
