to think our children will not forgive us if we don't sort Brexit out

[HurricaneFloss]

DFiL voted Leave. He's not thick and he had his reasons but, to be frank, he's 80 and not going to have to live with the consequences long term. Especially, if the NHS don't manage to stockpile his multiple medications in the event of a No Deal.

AIBU to think we all need to kick up an almighty stink to ensure that our Government makes a deal that will protect our children's futures - even if that means remaining. Jacob Rees Mogg and his ERG buddies predict it could be 50 years for the UK to see the benefits of leaving the EU. That's too late for my DD.

Austerity has damaged enough lives, we can't let Brexit do more harm. It's no good shrugging and saying "Leave won". If this isn't sorted out there will be no winners.

March on 20th Oct.

Email your MP over and over about the damage Brexit will do to our economy.

Offer your help to the People's Vote campaign.

Don't believe the bull about democracy on this issue having stopped in June 2016. We need a vote on the details of the deal. To see if it's better than remaining in the EU.

Only a fool would sign up to something without knowing the details.

isn't there a separate topic for this tedious, repetitive shit?

Ah. Another articulate, reasoned response about the most significant event in a British history for the last decade.

I must admit that now that the deadline is looming I’m increasingly feeling alarmed at what the fuck they are going to do. I hope to god a crash out is already priced in to soften the transition into economic hell that we are slowly rolling towards. I am very comfortable financially so won’t take a dangerous hit but so many people will. I am actually worried about the knock on effect of setting the country up basically on sand.

I reported this thread to MNHQ as soon as I posted and asked them not to move it to the tedious repetitive shit board as it is a genuine AIBU.

We can't ignore the potential disaster we are making for our children's future.

I agree with you, OP. It's like we're lemmings, about to go over a cliff and all anyone is saying is, "But 52% said they WANTED to go over the cliff!"

Our children will benefit with lower house prices, more jobs, and higher paid jobs.

So what do you suggest we do? I voted remain, I am implacably opposed to remain, although I could live with a sensible Norway-type arrangement.

I am fed up of people talking about "the UK" and "we". I am not part of Brexit and am not being lumped in, and I am not taking responsibility, or being blamed by "our children". My son is fully aware that my husband and I (and my mother) voted remain.

I don't think going on a march or writing to my smug safe-seat Leave voting Tory MP is going to help in any way.

I mean, wage increases, not higher paid jobs, if that makes sense

I am implacably opposed to remain

and my typing keeps getting ahead of my brain. I meant of course I am opposed to leaving the EU.

YANBU OP. I'm terrified about this

Our children will benefit with lower house prices, more jobs, and higher paid jobs

Lower house prices are a possibility.

But there will be fewer jobs and they will be much less well paid. You'll have to be grateful if you have a job, grateful for the rubbish salary you get paid, and employment rights will have gone by this time next year (unless we stay in the EEA).

However, this isn't about the rights and wrongs of Brexit, it's about how to make sure the deal we strike is as good as it can be. And I don't know the answer to that as I said above, because I don't think there's anything we can do. Politicians seem frozen and unable to do anything. Even the arch-Brexiteers have no idea what they want.

Our children will benefit with lower house prices, more jobs, and higher paid jobs.

Are you fucking kidding?

Not kidding no. What makes you think that?

You are not BU. I have yet to see one single solitary easily understood non-waffle non-soundbite statement illustrating how Brexit will directly benefit the ordinary person in the street.

Our children will benefit with lower house prices, more jobs, and higher paid jobs.

Is a waffly soundbite unless you can demonstrate how Brexit will make this happen.

What have the government got the gain from Brexit? Forcing us to eat the shit we voted for even though there is overwhelming concern that it is a disaster for the whole country. Ignoring any suggestions that we vote again, that we reconsider, that we have a proper think before we jump. What personal gain will these politicians receive?

Who is definitely getting a wage increase next year? MP's?! I am intrigued.

YANBU.

Nobody's getting a wage rise, you numpty. Honestly, if you think that on our own we will be at an economic advantage, you really need to educate yourself. Listen to what all the business leaders are saying.

Our children will benefit with lower house prices, more jobs, and higher paid jobs.

Tell that to DS who's been excluded from 3 jobs now, as he can't show he'll be able to work in the EU for the length of his contract. And after Brexit, there'll be less need for his skills anyway.

Nobody's getting a wage rise

Not true, some people will get wages rises.

Just hope your children don't want to go to university they are already suffering from a "brain drain" as a lot of talented lecturers are going to greener pastures and overseas student applications are greater down then previous years (the MAIN income stream for universities).

Or want to go into pharmaceutical or science based careers has the funding for these has gone and most of the larger companies have either left or are in the prepositional stages of leaving. Even banks are considering moving as well but shrug the UK apparently will be stronger outside the largest economical zone in the world.

My son is fully aware that my husband and I (and my mother) voted remain

That's not enough, you and I can't sit back and say "well at least we voted remain". We've now got to fight either to remain or to ensure that we get a deal that won't harm our country for generations to come.

It's not too late but if we leave it until 29th March next year, it will be.

vandrew4 are you serious? We can't complain when we get screwed over by politicians if we have that passive attitude.
