Because the English are ***** and clearly the EU is better off without them.
Parts of it at least.

if the uk leave the eu, it will show hard ball and give them some stick and be more lenient towards laws we want, fishing oil, etc.
They did leave the EU though, and the people it hurt most are themselves and Ireland due to the Northern Ireland thing.
Why would the EU be more lenient? At this point the UK isn't offering anything the EU desperately needs.

How did Brexit hurt Ireland and the working class again?
Always saw the thing as mostly a fight between elites over dividing up the pie, have no idea of how the common man gets affected.

Importing anything from UK to EU and vice versa is now 10x more complex than it was before. Even basic purchases on Amazon or other online stores are now subject to ridiculous taxes in places, and the red tape has gotten to the point that a lot of UK online retailers and suppliers just don't ship to Ireland anymore. Period.
In Nothern Ireland there were supermarket shortages that Ireland itself helped shore up, and in the likes of England now, there are still shortages because a lot of the workers that came to the UK from the EU have now gone back home.
Brexit was always going to hurt those without more than it did those that have.

Damn.
Maybe Obama was right when he called the banks that screwed us "Too big to fail." That's the problem with an national and global markets, a rotten to the core institution keeps us all afloat, and the slightest ripple topples everything into the ocean.

That’s the main point.

Was it not part of the Brexit deal that there would be an adjustment period where EU countries would scale down their use of British waters?
And that's still the Irish issue again.
