If you voted for brexit did you get what you wanted?

Even on this thread, which is specifically asking about the benefits, that's all any of them can say.

Well I get a cute little stamp of a steam train in my passport every time I go to France - so it was totally worth it.

Yes, some do. I meant they didn't wonder who would replace the Europeans who were working in the UK. They didn't think that those people would need to be replaced as they were often doing essential work such as the NHS or caring.

I didn't vote for Brexit or Labour. However, another 5 years of the Tories was unconscionable. They've wrecked everything.

Being out of the EU doesn't give us any benefits. There were plenty of benefits of being in it (and I don't even like the EU). We had a great deal as well. Proper have your cake and eat it.

Because they vote on soundbites.

The biggest reason people voted was to stop/reduce immigration and it's now at record levels. It was the biggest con ever placed on a country.

People didn't think it through.

Made everyone poorer for nothing. (I appreciate a select few got rich)

Tony Blair said the other day we've just replaced single Europeans who'd come here to work, with families from Africa and Asia. That's without all the boats who pre-Brexit could have been sent straight back

There have been dozens of dozens of threads asking the exact same question. Did you miss them all? 😂

Eventually, Brexit gave us Boris Johnson in his true colours (all ten million of them!).

FFS. It was a complete racist exercise - covered up in a blanket of retrieving our sovereignty (whatever that really means).

Can you give us some examples of these irrational and ridiculous rules that were forced on us?

Please do. Because they've been in power 2 months, and I'm pleased with what I'm seeing so far. Brexit happened 8 years ago.... tell us the benefits you're reaping?

@Perplexed20 but nothing long term turns out to be the wrong decision.
Countries rise and fall. The ones who do worse are the ones that think everything stays the same.

So it's OK to have a generation that suffers because there might be a benefit?
Thanks for that

@LastTrainEast

We got self rule back (Ireland may have to go the same way)
What do you mean by this? Are you referring to the fact that complications in NI re Brexit have made a United Ireland more likely?

Why are you against it?

I spent years in European and Economic policy, then the NHS. I probably understood more than most about the impact and yes, not found anything yet that has made it anything but an utter disaster.

"ItTook9Years" I can see that you've given this a lot of thought.

"Vladimir Putin got want he wanted" yes but only because he was able to use 5G mind control via the chips inserted in the vaccines to make everyone vote his way.

😀

Whether or not you believe this affects judgements there is always going to be a perception that it does so a clean break is better in the long run.

Always best to cut your ears off when you cut your nose off. Make it a proper job.

Yes, though perhaps it could have been handled a little better. We got self rule back (Ireland may have to go the same way) and our economy is doing as well as many of those in the EU despite dire warnings that the UK could not survive without them.

I was born before the EU existed so I knew that last part was nonsense.

We should also remove ourselves from the ECHR (Duplicating every part of it into our own court system) since it was obvious that many of the other members would hold a deep and lasting resentment towards us.

Over the last few years we’ve had loads of shortages of basic meds at work. No idea why. First it was IV paracetamol, then remifentanyl. The pharmaceutical industry warned us about this pre Brexit.

I think it has gone up over the amount talked about

It's that the NHS needs a lot and rising

I agree with you in that I think insults and name calling are completely uncalled for. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Blaming the negotiators is showing a very 'British superiority' attitude. People who feel the UK should be able to get whatever they want (a great deal) out of negotiations without care and consideration to other nations. But this attitude of British superiority is what caused a lot of people to vote for Brexit in the first place so that's no__ surprise. We need to realise that we are no superior to anybody else and have to allow for give and take in negotiations.

Your opinion and I respect that. I don't agree and I don't know anyone who does . As I said I don't think insult's and name calling are productive. We have a very divided society already at the moment and that just makes it worse!
