I voted remain Gulliver.
I can still remember as though it were yesterday flipping my laptop open the morning after the vote, mouth full of Weetabix, and hollering up to my wife, spluttering said weetabix everywhere “they’ve only gone and bloody won”.
I still wish we were members, however, I respect democracy, whereas there’s many people, including many on this site, who only respect democracy when it goes in their favour.
The majority of those that voted, voted to leave, and therefore their wishes should be respected, and no amount of stuck-pig whining and tantrums will change anything.

//English Tories,gully,and Scottish SNPers.A strange brotherhood(sisterhood)to be sure.//
But as has been pointed out (once or twice) before: the referendum vote was not split purely on party lines. In England many Tory supporters voted to Remain, many Labour voters voted to leave (especially those behind the "Red Wall"). In Scotland it was very much the same - many SNP supporters voted to remain. As has also been pointed out (once or twice) if all the SNP supporters who voted to leave had voted to remain, the outcome of the referendum would still have been the same. So I don't really know why you keep insisting that English Tories and Scottish SNPers make a strange brother/sisterhood.

A Woman this week in UK was barred from boarding a flight to Paris, with nine months left on her unexpired Passport, was not allowed on the aircraft Because her passport was issued more than 10 years ago ,was left in tears and said"All this heart break because a load of Rankers voted Brexit",,,, Anyone agree with her ?
This appears to be EU ruling.

It is the same for non-EU countries
"Passport and visa requirements
If you are a non-EU national wishing to visit or travel within the EU, you will need a passport:
valid for at least 3 months after the date you intend to leave the EU country you are visiting,
which was issued within the previous 10 years"

No. The rules were well publicised when they first came into force and are straightforward. Similar rules are applied in most other countries. Gradually fewer and fewer people will fall foul of the "ten year" requirement anyway, as the Passport Office no longer adds unexpired time to a new passport. Those issued now (if you are fortunate enough to be able to get one bearing in mind the shambolic state of the Passport Office)are valid for ten years only.
All these "disasters" are a matter of people not acquainting themselves with a new requirements and making sure they comply with them. The blame for this woman's tears rest purely with her:
"Rosi Simpson, a teacher from Brighton, is one of the latest to be caught up in the confusion. She says she was left “mortified and in tears” after easyJet staff refused to allow her to board a flight to Paris to see her son, who is studying there, because her UK passport had been issued 10 years and one day previously."
“I had no idea of the 10-year rule,” she says. “I’d checked the expiry date, and my passport had eight months remaining. What happened at the boarding gate was absolutely awful. I lost the cost of the flight and the accommodation I’d booked – I’d been so looking forward to seeing my son – all because a load of *** voted for Brexit. What I don’t understand is why this [rule change] hasn’t had more publicity – an information campaign. I wasn’t the only one who this had happened to at the airport that day,” she says."
What I don't understand is what this apparently intelligent woman has been doing since the rules changed in 2021. Tales of woe such as hers have been appearing in the Press (especially in The Guardian, which, as a teacher, there is a strong likelihood she reads) almost since day one.
