How lives was changed by Brexit | Speech

Innledning
Hello there, fellow students! I'm Elias Frandsen, and I'm currently delving into the captivating realms of British culture and history right here at Cambridge. Today, I'd like to dive into the topic of Brexit and explore how it has impacted our lives.

Over the past few months, I've dedicated a substantial amount of time to researching and immersing myself in the intricacies of Brexit.

It essentially marks our separation from Europe and its regulatory framework, as our nation aspires to assert its independence.

Speaking of future aspirations, I came across an intriguing interview online featuring Anthony Hill and Emily Allwood, both hailing from Britain.

These two ambitious individuals are currently pursuing their studies at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, where a plethora of courses are conducted in English.

Initially, they harbored hopes that this educational path would open doors to international careers. However, the landscape shifted dramatically when the United Kingdom cast its vote to exit the EU.

Their dreams of venturing into international territories, perhaps in France, Italy, or even Germany, suddenly seemed precarious.

The array of possibilities they once envisioned now appears to be slowly slipping through their grasp. It's noteworthy that a substantial 70% of those who advocated for remaining in the EU are individuals aged 25 and under.

This demographic recognizes, to some extent, that the prospects of working in foreign lands may now be severely constrained due to the unfolding reality of Brexit.

When it comes to employment opportunities, I recently came across an article that shed light on the challenges not only faced by British job seekers but also by those aspiring to immigrate to the UK for work.

Interestingly, a significant portion of immigrants in this context are educated lorry drivers, although some lack formal education in the field.

A staggering 40,000 tests were abruptly canceled, with the pandemic being a contributing factor, but as Shane Brennan rightly pointed out, Brexit has added complexity to the situation, limiting potential solutions.

England is grappling with these challenges, and the absence of support from Europe, especially in the realm of truck drivers, has taken a toll.
