The price of Brexit was always going to be a phase of re-adjustment.  The wider benefit to the UK public (especially fighting Covid) matters more than than the gripes of businesses who need to get to grips with the challenges. 
 
Would you Remainers have preferred to have been part of the EU's vaccine procurement and distribution policy?

 Follow the rules. 
 
I don't link the very high number of excess deaths to Brexit nor do I link the vaccination programme to it. We had the freedom to follow our own course here inside or outside the EU.

				Brexit LIVE: British expats 'in tears' as Spain to deport 500 under new rules ‘Dream over' 
 
Spanish police and immigration officials expect to deport around 500 UK citizens within weeks with targets already earmarked to be picked up and sent home for not having the correct paperwork to remain. Authorities have previously turned a blind-eye to Brits not legally registered in Spain but under Brexit rules they have to be out of the country by March 31 when they will be deemed as illegal immigrants as their 90-day legal stay comes to an end..... 
snippet 
Fellow returning expat Shaun Cromber voted Leave but said he did not believe Brexit would end his Spanish lifestyle. 
 
He said: "Yes I voted out, but I didn’t realise it would come to this.

People (Brits) go to live in Spain but don't bother with the required paperwork . . .  and then cry when they get deported.
