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!

All together now:

'Rule Brittannia!
Brittannia rules a relatively small section of the waves which don't have the fish stocks to fulfil demand
Britons never never never shall be slaves apart from zero hours contracts, banned in several EU Member States'

Huzzah! [waves very small flag]

The forthcoming instability, food shortages and civil disruption are going to be excellent stress testing for future disruption caused by climate change. The army, having practiced the operation of martial law, will be much better placed to deal with climate related internal conflict in the future.

I have plenty to say to someone like the OP who didn't bother to vote because they were complacent. Every one of them would get me banned.

@Crunchymum , Prepper here who would rather not be "in my element ". I would prefer to have a little marginal hobby that keeps me happy and doesn't bother anyone.

I made £500 last week by trading currency, so that was a bit of fun. Can’t see any other positives

Richard Knocker denies authorship of the very odd list above.

I think fish might be cheaper, which will perhaps resurrect the prospect of being able to take part in Until of course they all go bust due to losing friction free access to the european market.

Well the Netherlands are doing quite well with brexit, what with all those companies and jobs moving over there.....oh sorry did you mean for the uk??

Nothing. Nada. Niets. Rien. Nichts. Get the idea.

You won't hear anything positive about Brexit on here OP.

No positives. Brexit is bloody irresponsible and will cause problems and hardship for millions. You should be ashamed

You are suggesting I should be ashamed? Of what? The UK was given a referendum, exercised its democracy, and voted to leave the EU.
Should I be ashamed of democracy? Of us being given a referendum- I didn't suggest it?
I'm merely asking for some positives, as the news seems to be full of negatives.

MN is a cosy club for remainers only and they only want to sit in their own echo chamber.

Not true at all BadlyDrawnPerson.

Some of us would love to know what the positives are going to be.

You'll be able to buy mutton cheaply :)

... but only once, because after the farmers have slaughtered all their sheep there won't be a British lamb industry left.

@mobyduck can't you think of any positives then?

I'd love to hear some too.

Can't think of any thigh apart from a no deal Brexit hopefully will shut the the Brexitters up for a very long time. Except they'll be blaming everyone else but themselves as usual........

so OP you didnt care enough to vote but now you want to other people to find you positives?

*Not true at all BadlyDrawnPerson.

Some of us would love to know what the positives are going to be*

Excellent, SauceyJack, we just want a few of the main benefits, not a comprehensive list of all of them.

Increased opportunities in highly skilled jobs in the UK where people have left due to Brexit (Medical professions / scientists / engineers / teaching).

Well, this reminded me of a wonderful tweet...

Schools will lose students if families leave the UK. So more teacher contact time (but school funding hit by fewer students on-roll).

They will also lose teachers...

Maybe, just maybe, we might see a change in politics. From recognising the diversity of voters wishes to the frustrating state of both main parties

Awww. Got 2 words for you. Stupid electorate.

OP, doesn't it worry you that you have to ask an internet forum of strangers why you voted the way you did?

so OP you didnt care enough to vote but now you want to other people to find you positives?
It was not that I didn't care, I thought it was unnecessary.

BadlyDrawnPerson Brexit day is so close now you'll be able to come back reallllly soon and prove you were right!

So go on, humour us with what's going to be good and then you'll have the pleasure of saying 'I told you so'

This is why I don't understand why there are so many whinging Leavers. You're getting everything you voted for, no deal and all (most likely). So why so grumpy?

Some people are worrying. What a nice position to be in to be able to put their minds at rest.

Actually, I got a positive.

Since people won't be able to afford holidays abroad, camping sites across UK will experience great boom. Maybe, just maybe even Blackpool will.

Democracy. Not paying huge sums to the EU. Taking control of our laws, borders. Not having to be part of a bloated unelected establishment which incidentally has never passed an audit in over 20 years. I would not trust them with our money.

We already had democracy.
PS - you can't eat democracy. Not even with rhubarb.

The vote made it clear that our education system is not teaching people about politics or critical thinking, and that the media have too much power. So in an ideal world this should give impetus to improving education and doing something about the horrible right-wing press.

Obviously this won't happen though.

Taking control of our laws, borders.
Freud2:
Any particular law giving you difficulties?
Are our borders going to be better policed in the future?
Are our ELECTED establishment doing a good job at the moment?
