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've heard a rumour that the satanic elite believe Satan has been summoned and is currently being raised in London. I'm an atheist myself so it doesn't sound too plausible, but there are people who believe in all that shit. I imagine a post-Brexit Britain is the ideal backdrop for their story to unfold.

This

For all of those with concerns, have you applied to emigrate elsewhere?

Where can we emigrate to?

I'm a remainer. I don't see any immediate impact on my life tbh. Probably the most materially verifiable thing will be to do with taking holidays, ie exchange rates and passport queues.

I'm hoping it won't be as bad as many are forecasting. Pretty sure most people will not notice any immediate or medium term difference.

So if i have a concern about anything i should emigrate?

So concerned about universal credit ...emigrate

Concerned about the changes to GCSE...emigrate

Concerned about the state if the NHS...emigrate

That does not seem like a rational response to me

Or have a misunderstood the point

I may well have dome...frequently happens on mumsnet

For all of those with concerns, have you applied to emigrate elsewhere?

Sorry, are you suggesting that those who disagree with the current shit show should leave the country?

MIND - emigrate wherever you want. People have had 3 years to apply.

maud

Certainly sounds like it

Concerned that there will be two series of love island next year....emigrate

Actually the love island one probably is a rational response

Emigrate? How very patriotic! @TheElementsSong I think we might need to add that to the dictionary.

Why the fuck should I emigrate? This is my home.

Is this the endgame for Brexiteers? Get rid of not only all the foreigners but also all the pesky Remainers as well?

Wouldn't fucking surprise me actually.

I have been told on other threads to leave the country

Best one though was a poster who came on a thread all guns blazing demanding that non english people should say how much they would like it if people criticized their country

Course the whole fucking thread goes quiet ...and they got in a right two and eight cos no one was replying

Fun times

Perhaps Maud but if they get rid of all those who voted to remain, who would they blame for the inevitable chaos that is bound to happen after we leave the EU?

I'm extremely patriotic. There are numerous matters I don't agree with in Britain but I'd never emigrate.

However, the hysteria on these Brexit threads to our leaving on 31st October is deafening.

We're leaving the EU, end of. Get over it and rally on.

People have every right to stay in their own country and push for it to move in a direction they think would be best.
You can't demand people leave their country because they don't agree with you.

It’s very depressing. I worry about the resurgence of The Troubles. I think we are being led by foolish selfish people and this is a folly. Voted for by the people - in ignorance of what it would mean - and not for their benefit. I believe we should reconsider.

There are numerous matters I don't agree with in Britain but I'd never emigrate.

But you're happy to suggest that Remainers should? OK. Typical Brexiteer logic.

And what, pray, does 'rally on' mean? Is that this week's Cummings-approved meaningless slogan?

Im not hysterical in the slightest

I was asked my concerns...those would be my concerns

Not all of those are brexit related...but they sure as shit will be exacerbated by a hard brexit

But I don’t think that someone is patriotic if their answer to everything is...

Concerned....emigrate

I’m not into giving up

You're the furthest thing from patriotic there is, James. You're pushing for something that will fuck the economy and break up the union. And you want anyone who disagrees with you to emigrate. You don't know the meaning of patriotic.

@Woodlandwitch
The racism pointing at brexiteers is tiring and very untrue

When challenged to explain the benefits of leaving other than fishing, and control of laws (both of which are far from clear cut issues) and of course immigration (again highly contentious, seeing as we may a} run short of staff in key sectors and b) lose control of the data on immigrants and be far more likely to have illegal workers at large), Brexiteers so often run out of steam and say we won suck it up.

I suspect that, on both sides, the alignment is visceral - you are either a liberal, one-world kind of person who sees benefits in sharing common strategies with other nations - or a small island one, suspicious of 'foreigners', in a kingdom which is potentially going to become far from united and risk Scottish independence and the reunification of Ireland.

I anticipate much moaning from Leavers about the increased costs of travelling in Europe after Brexit - visas, roaming, travel insurance. Not to mention parity of the pound and the euro.

Jamesblonde1 - it's not as easy as you think to emigrate, unless you are rich or have strong ties to another country.

USA style medical care within the next 10 years.
USA standards in food industry which is not a good thing
Job losses
Brexit politicians lining up their pockets as a result of above. General population worse off.

The racism pointing at brexiteers is tiring and very untrue

I do agree with this

But the ‘don’t like it...leave the country’ attitude of SOME people who apparently voted for leave gets on my fucking tits

Never heard it the other way...don’t like the EU, you should fucking emigrate

More divisions, yet more austerity, trouble in NI. No doubt some will benefit from Brexit massively.
