AIBU to request a positive thread on Brexit?

[mobyduck]

Everyone here (nearly) says it will be bad.
Let's hear some positives about our coming freedom from the EU!

@mobyduck

I can’t see what grounds you have to complain now that the majority of the voters fucked it up for you. If you cared, you would have voted.

That bloke from Wetherspoons is off his bloody chump

I expect many British people would have no problem being carers or picking cabbages if they were paid a living wage to do it.

I'm not a fanatical Brexiteer by any means but I can see that freedom of movement has enabled employers to push wages right down.

RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime: what stupid fuck would vote to Leave?
You would have to be a stupid, stupid, thick cunt to vote Leave.
Of course I thought it wouldn't happen.
Who could be so stupid?

If there hadn’t been any support for leaving there wouldn’t have been a referendum. Isn’t that obvious?
I think what you did is stupid.

It’s hastened our planned emigration to a tropical island.
That’s my upside but We we’re planning to go anyway and I’m heartsick at the damage being inflicted here.

I think it might be fun if you are very very rich and very very bored.

Quite frankly I've had enough about open minded and respectful of peoples voting choices and opinions.

If you voted for brexit and STILL think it's a good thing, you are an idiot.

There is nothing positive about what is going to happen to our country, our way of life , and the future for our children.

When the 1.3 million migrants that Merkel allowed into Germany are issued German passports, they will find it much more difficult to move to Britain should they wish to

Don't want to ruin this argument for you (nah. I do) but WHY would someone who built their life in Germany where wages are better, unemployment lower and quality of life overall is better, want to move to UK? 😂

Saying you were so sure that the outcome would be remain that you didn't bother voting OP, is the mirror image of those people who claimed they voted leave as a protest and then were amazed when the vote to leave was carried.

No good complaining now.

@nothinglikeadame

The UK was already finished by the time Brexit happened. I don’t even know what ‘our way of life’ is supposed to be any more.

OftenHangry Good luck with that mind you, you might get a response because your question wasn't quite as awkward as mine.

That’s all I’ve got.

@OftenHangry

Better English skills, family ties, any number of personal reasons.

@TheElementsSong 😂 doubt it

@OftenHangry Oh look, I was right!

Maybe people don’t like answers being demanded?

I can see that freedom of movement has enabled employers to push wages right down
No, the UK government has enabled employers to do this.

@MrsAriadneOliver absolute BS and you know it.
Germany is a great place to live and you do have to be there over 8 years to get citizenship. That would be one long and expensive game for them if they are doing it just to get to UK. Are you going to tell us that there is also 70 mil of Turks coming our way? Are you Boris???

I apologise in advance to everyone, but...
UK IS NOT HEAVEN ON EARTH. Not everyone wants to come here. There are so many countries where living standards are better and Germany is indeed one of them.

Demanded? That's rich. Also hilarious. I asked, politely. And waited. And asked, politely. And waited. And so on. Should I add DEMANDED to the new Brexitannian Dictionary?

Also ironic, as you had no problem dismissing somebody else's reply, within the same time frame, with:
"Perhaps try and address the comments themselves"

And you've now proved that my posts aren't invisible to you.

Or you could just admit you can't formulate a palatable answer.

Such a tolerant, liberal bunch!

I could answer the questions - not that you’d like the answers! - but I’m not the right person to do it I’m afraid. You want someone optimistic about the future, someone totally convinced that we’d all be better off post-Brexit. But I just don’t care any more. I really couldn’t give two hoots in hell. I’m much happier for it too. The UK is finished, and I’m not sticking around to see how all this pans out, so why worry about things over which I have no control?

I wouldn’t say prefacing every repetition of the question with Again: is polite. It’s demanding. And I’m under no obligation to answer your questions!

Well if you are just taking the snowflake route of running away @MrsAriadneOliver , I guess people haven't been asking you nicely enough to your personal standards.

You're a weasel, MrsAriadneOliver. Are you a politician?

@bellinisurge

Why is leaving the ‘snowflake route’?

I didn’t vote for this. I didn’t cause it. The blame lies firmly with the incompetent, mendacious, self-serving politicians we are unfortunate enough to be represented by. They’ve caused this mess, and I don’t intend my family to be collateral damage. Why shouldn’t I leave if I have a route out? Why should I sacrifice my children’s future?

A weasel, eh? That’s a new one to add to the tally!

Prefacing every repetition with "again" - now, is this the truth, or a bald-faced lie?

Well, I'm sure lurkers reading this thread can draw their own conclusions about how this interesting non-conversation has gone, and what

Of course not every migrant out of the 1.3 million will want to leave Germany for the UK. But some will. And I’m glad it will potentially be more difficult for them to do so.

means with regards to migrants who have qualified for citizenship of their new country.
