To ask for tangible benefits of Brexit?

[RiskIt4Biscuit]

Some politicians are saying that we're all brexiteers now.

But I can't actually think of any tangible benefits of Brexit, and I think as a brexiteer, I should be able to list at least 3.

So how is Brexit going to make our lives better?

People have businesses one side, processing on the other.
But that applies to the whole of the UK

Cars built in the UK have parts from mainland Europe
some engines go back and forth across the channel four times as they are assembled at different factories.

Back to the tangible benefits question. Has anyone found one other than the UKIP MEPs being out of a job?

@Ta1kinPeace - not with fresh food it isn't! If your car part is held up in customs, you wait a week to assemble it. With milk going to be pasteurised, what do you do?

This article is a bit old but points out some of the contradictions.

I worked in Customs clearance pre 1988
even live animals went through customs checks
the whole supply chain network that has been in place since then will collapse if there is any sort of hard border at either Dover or the ROI

No one I know is out of a job because of brexit.

Plenty of those in the building trade are either back in work or prices are going up. As a small building firm we have made a small profit this quarter instead of a small loss or breaking even.

And 3 people who were previously made redundant from steel works have gone back. Another 3 had found alternative employment and declined.

And a cafe local to a rolling mill have extended their opening hours and set another member of staff on.

More to do with the decrease in the value of the £ than anything else.

That might be because it has not happened yes

Maybe.

But I can't think of anyone I know that would be. A few NHS staff I know are pretty worried about the future of the NHS.

I know lots in the building trade and we are usually one of the first industries to feel the pinch but everyone is carefully optimistic. Orders are coming in. Work is going up. Prices are increasing. The cheap, previously readily available labour pool is shrinking.

I voted remain. With a small r. But have been pleasantly surprised so far.

It might change. We might be on our arses in 12 months. But we might have been anyway. We have been before.

"The problem is, Britain will have to use WTO rules if they're not in customs union or they can be taken to court as per WTO for not offering same deal to other WTO members."

That part makes me laugh.
People voted Leave to "take back our sovereignty"
But they will have to still follow someone's rules. Leave or stay. Rules that may feel like they are entirely externally imposed. That's what global trade means in 2017.
It's like they were voting to travel back to 1935 when there were no rules.

WTO rules will probably also mean the breaking up of the NHS due to monopolies issues
