It's a shame you'll also miss out on the excellent pork pies, made with genuine pork no less, but sadly imported from countries where farmers breed pigs on land not designated for solar farms.

Patrick rears pigs, but to make ends meet he also farms 225 acres (91 hectares) growing wheat, barley, grass for hay, and industrial hemp for oil and gluten-free flour.
The two sides of the business help each other. The pig muck, for instance, reduces the need to use synthetic fertilisers on the crops. And the straw from the wheat, barley and hemp provides useful pig bedding...
… By the time Patrick took on the family farm in late 1990s he could see it couldn't survive on pigs alone, so he started to diversify. He used 46 acres (19 hectares) of his land to set up a 10.9 megawatt solar park. He now also makes an income from renting the grazing among the 43,000 solar panels to a local sheep farmer.

All this is the fault of government malaise and disinterest, not of Brexit.

the actual impact of the ECHR on deportations may be overstated.
Since 1980, the European Court has halted just 13 deportations, and only 29 UK cases heard at Strasbourg have concerned deportation or extradition
