How was the EU bad for Britain?

There is a lot of talk about how bad the EU was for Britain, and how independence is worth the likely pain and suffering that Brits will go through over the next few years as they transition out of the union.

So, what specifically is so bad for Britain within the EU?

What are the rules and processes that are so detrimental?

Thanks
