To find SOME Brexiteer gloating embarrassing?

[SirChing]

I have read threads saying that we have left and "nothing has happened, just like the millennium bug".

Well, that'll be because we are transition so the No Deal situation has been avoided - for now.

And the millennium bug didn't happen because loads of IT people worked their arses off for years to prevent it.

I have read a rant about us needing new passports for this summer costing £1000, due to remained MPs and civil servants wanting to "punish" leavers.

I am cringing at the level of gloating and "so nerr" posts on here, flinging about bollocks as facts, and celebrating something which noone seems to be able to demonstrate any positives for.

Just me?

I particularly enjoyed the photos on the Daily Mail from a “social club” in Wokington.

Maybe Tina in Wokington can leave her unskilled, minimum wage job and become a neurosurgeon now because all the forriners are leaving innit?

Sorry sirChing you have quoted that post, not said it!

@SirChing you still have 11 months to do it easily.

Sorry your plans to move abroad were made bit more difficult. It's crap to have to hurry them up.

The leavers who celebrated last night in parliament square by doing nazi salutes to the national anthem

That's shit

It will provide for an interesting 'I love2020' show in a few years time.

Neither side has covered themselves in glory

Just yesterday there was a thread started where someone stated that they couldn’t wait for all the thick English working class to lose their jobs because of it. It was disgusting but, thankfully, mumsnet deleted fairly quickly.

@SirChing again though. There were ways before and there will be ways after. Just not as simple as getting up one morning and going

Sorry your plans to move abroad were made bit more difficult. It's crap to have to hurry them up

Except I can't. As I will no longer be able to get reciprocal benefits once we fully leave the EU.

The anti Brexit threads constantly were pretty embarrassing

I voted remain however I dont see the EU as some perfect utopia but for what it is...a corrupt, inefficient, unelected, over bureaucratic organisation.

@AllergicToAMop Fab! So I will be able to claim benefits abroad even though the UK Gov and EU say otherwise? Brill! Who is paying them for me?

I voted remain too but I’m I’m under no illusions that the EU is this mythical utopia. It really does need to reform.

@MyuMe it was a better the devil you know thing for me too. I think the EU needs changing, just that we would have been better placed to do that from within.

I don’t think the EU will reform though.

"Except I can't. As I will no longer be able to get reciprocal benefits once we fully leave the EU."
Arent the benefits in other countries in Europe rubbish, which is why the trend was people came to the UK for them, rather than people leaving the UK to go elsewhere? Watched a programme the other night where whole swathes of disabled people came here from Romania, because they couldnt survive on the benefits at home.

Why would you find Brexit threads embarrassing? Surely you just scroll past.

It is important that Brexit voters hold the Conservatives to account to make them deliver what was offered to them in 2016 - otherwise what was it all for?

@DeeZastris Well one thing is for sure - we sure as hell won't be able to pressure them to do so. It's such a Shame.

@LolaSmiles So agree with your OP.

I shall not shut up, I will not 'get over it', I am appalled at what we have become as a country and what we have done.

That ridiculous passport thread that was pulled.... that's just the start of Brexiteers blaming those who wanted Remain for everything that is going to go wrong with this shitshow.
You voted Leave. You now own it. Get on with it. I will have no sympathy when it doesn't work how you expected it to.

p.s. If you are 'Leave' and looking forward to your french manufactured blue passport, they have a lot of stock of the maroon ones left so you might have to wait a while

Why would you find Brexit threads embarrassing?

I don't. I find the gloating embarrassing when it is based on bollocks.

I am just so thrilled at the prospect of having that promised money going to the NHS!!

I recall last year when we were due to leave at the end of March, remainers on here saying on 1st April all the planes will be grounded as they won't be allowed to fly. Lots of posters making big points about it. So they are just as silly thinking everything would change the minute the clock hit midnight.

Everyone is as bad as each other. When you leave a marriage you usually have to sort things out over time.

Sorry, I was referring to Myume's post.

We extended so the flight issue didn't arise.

"p.s. If you are 'Leave' and looking forward to your french manufactured blue passport, they have a lot of stock of the maroon ones left so you might have to wait a while"

They cant issue a maroon one as we arent in Europe anymore, they will be scrapped. New passports are going to be issued from march onwards I believe.

I see it as quite a sad divorce really, the uk was never quite comfortable with being in the EU. indeed my parents generation voted to join a trade block and not all the other aspects of the EU
I was a remainer but not 100% and I gave my vote a lot of serious consideration. If I’m being honest I voted remain because it was financially better for my family.

I am quoting a news article from somewhere, I think it was BBC. Can't find it now, but it was out there. Perhaps someone can apply for one after March and let us know!

"Move on?" Brexit will effect trade, value of the pound, employment (and rights), food standards, environmental standards, healthcare it is going to have ramifications for every person living in the UK for decades. You cant just wish it away.
