Yes, but there's no need for any punishment on top of what Brexit is.

I don't see any clear case of such punishment. There are consequences for not being in the trade union. You can't leave the trade union and expect the same conditions as the members...

And there is no "punishment" beyond Brexit itself: All the "punishment" is just Britain getting exactly what it asked for.

The laughing and snide comments are just A) Schadenfreude at being so stupid as to ask for that "punishment", and B) intense annoyance growing into anger at the fuckwittery of whining about "punishment" for getting what one asked for.

As such, it's all utterly well-deserved IMO.
