We still have politicians/talking heads* in the UK that push the 
narrative that Brexit wasn't a bad thing but the Brexit we got was and 
we should have had a harder version. They seem to forget that they were 
the same people who when campaigning to leave did it on a platform of a 
much softer version of Brexit than the oven ready** deal that was 
finally put in place.

*Nowadays these are often the same person as of course it's easy to be a 
politician will still doing a job as a daily presenter on the likes of 
GB News.

**The term comes from that's what Boris Johnson, the then Prime Minster, 
called it. Strangely enough it took less than a month before complaints 
from the same people who had voted in favour of it saying how the EU was 
picking on us. I'm really not sure what they thought would happen, the 
UK agreed to become a third party so yes the EU will treat us as one 
with the ironic part that the EU rules that they were complaining about 
were the same ones that the UK had been in favour of when part of the 
EU. It's kinda like not renewing your gym membership and then thinking 
it's unfair that you can't still use all the facilities.
