Here's a little tip for those who keep blasting the UK over its Brexit stance, and feel the UK is doomed and the EU is still the best place to live & work . . .
. . there are a few places on the SE coast that have a growing collection of dinghies. I'm sure that if you fully explain your situation, they'll let you have one with which to escape to the nearest EU coast . . . they'll probably give you the fuel required too
hope this helps
