There is aome discernment needed I think, to recognize that the Brits will need their passports too, if they require that of others.
Nonetheless, I tend to agree with the exit because I am not convinced that staying is in their best financial or cultural interests, mainly due to the open borders problems and loss of self determination.
IDK if the Scots or Irish have really had to deal with the same issues at the channel gate and such.

Just the savings in dues and social welfare alone....
