What does Brexit mean to you?

[DtPeabodysLoosePants]

Posting here rather than on the brexit topic to hopefully get a wider range of answers.

How do you see the future of the UK once it leaves the EU?

What will change? What will stay the same? What will be the biggest change for the country? Your community? Your family? Your friends? Your job? Or anything else that will be affected.

I'm not looking into a leave v remain debate, just perceived changes. Good or bad.

I'm hoping for a buy British campaign to get everyone to give their cash to UK businesses.

Hassle
Scaremongering about preppers causing shortages.
Stupid people asking those who have stockpiled to share with the stupid people who haven’t.

Btw, what hassle will there be? Sure it’s all going to be fiiinnne.

Stupid people asking those who have stockpiled to share with the stupid people who haven’t.

Clever people who have stockpiled will also be clever enough to keep it quiet.

well I twice lost my jobs when my departments moved abroad so I did both notice and care. Absolutely did not make me want to leave the EU. It will just be even more job losses so don’t understand that argument.

Clever people who have stockpiled will also be clever enough to keep it quiet. very true. I’ve mentioned getting a ‘few’ things in to see me through any panic buying and suggested others do the same. I haven’t mentioned the fact that I have enough for quite some time. I have my obviously stocked larder and then my secret stock, just in case I’m put under pressure to share.

so don’t understand that argument

I don’t think it is an argument

I think its another version of the whole us and them crap the fucking media started and other people believed

All leavers are poor and plucky

All remainers are rich and don’t care about anyone else

There are no middle class leavers

There are no working class remainers

I really really don’t understand why people believe this bollocks

And its all this remainers/leavers shit as well

I don’t have a side neither do my friends who voted leave...we are all as equally fucked if it all goes tits up

The vast fucking majority of us did a bit of research, had a think and ticked a box 3 fucking years ago

rufus you’ve been on the wine tonight, haven’t you? You’ve hit 11 on the swear o meter

DD needs to carry an epi pen at all times due to severe food allergies. There are already shortages in relation to epi pens.

DS needs asthma inhalers. He has been hospitalised in the past it has got so severe

Épopée manufactured in the US and Asthma medication is manufactured in Scotland

That’s Epipen manufactured in the US

continuity

Waiting to pick dd up with dh

Both stone cold sober...thats how sweary i am when sober

Although as shes texted to say she missed the bus i might just go to bed

pinkstripeycat

Both epipens and some of the alternatives are in short supply, and have been since last year.

The fact that they are made in the USA doesn’t change the shortages.

You might also want to ask yourself why a 2 epipen pack costs $600 in the US and $69 in the UK, and how this might be a factor in why Trump and his backers are so keen to “do a deal” with the UK. Don’t kid yourself that the NHS isn’t up for grabs.

rufus can sympathise with the waiting up for DD. Do you get more sweary with wine? I think that might be an experiment worth trying

I think i get less sweary

Cos i start shluring

I sound like a sweary sean connery

I’d be all ‘for fush sake you fushing fushes’

@ginginchinchin "I'm hoping for a buy British campaign to get everyone to give their cash to UK businesses."

Oh, the irony. After decades of Tory rule has destroyed any vestige of manufacturing. But what? Bonds? No amount of stockpiled beans will make them tasty.

The Tories Fucked Us Over (often entirely with our consent)- Not The EU.

Oh Rufus, you’ve made me come over all quivery. I’m going to be reading you in a sexy Sean voice from now on.

we are all as equally fucked if it all goes tits up

Indeed

If we could afford it we would consider moving overseas. I am European and dp and dc have Australian passports.

“I am leaving my home and my job of 13 years to go back to the European country I came from, as I've been made to feel like a liability here.“

So sorry to read that. I consider you the complete opposite, an asset, and millions of British people do appreciate the commitment to our society and the valuable contribution that you and every European worker has made to the UK. It will be a smaller and sorrier place when you have gone.
I completely understand why you would leave but it’s very sad because it means ignorance is winning.
Good luck for the future, very sorry to see you go.

Purely from investment point of view I'm hoping for a no deal Brexit and a sharp fall in pound. But I know I'm in a luckier position than most.

Well won’t that be lovely for you. Is your name Rees-Mogg?

I would never “ buy British” as a principle now.

I will be guided by quality, the environment and price. I won’t be bullied either. This whole shit storm has opened my eyes to the Xenophobia within this country and made me pretty embarrassed to be British.

Buying British will be the last thing I will want to do.

I see it as an act of economic self harm. At least with a deal this can be minimised.

It has divided this country more than anything else and this will take time to heal.

To me, it means the lost of a dream to move to Italy

The birth of another dream buying property in the UK cash,

Me too, Im on a lowish income but have been investing since august last year, emptied my small savings account to do it too. Well over 1k up already and the boom hasn't even started yet.

Im stocked up and stashed out, going abroad shortly to stock up on inhalers (over the counter they are cheaper than one prescription here) Have a business plan too, so just need to get my head, keep it down and churn my way through. Does anyone realise that when the last financial bubble popped, the US reinflated it to a size that is far bigger than before, there is a soverign debt crisis coming in the us and the UK are better placed to deal with the fall out if they are not tied to the EU's fiscal policy?

We're doomed........we're all doomed!

I can't speak for other Remainers, but I and a lot of the ones I know have spoken out about the outsourcing of UK jobs, yes.
