We've left and the world hasn't ended (brexit)

[HelloItsTimeForTea]

Just that really.

Somewhat disappointed! I was almost buying in to the Armageddon hypothesis and almost joined the stock-pilers!

I reckon we'll be "feeling" the effects by autumn 2021

No the world hasn't ended but in your tiny little world of smugness you probably won't see the true effects. For example you won't see the decreasing scientific research budget which won't impact upon your smug little existence but will effect your children's. So carry on with your banal expressions in your smug little microcosm.

Congratulations on being the only person not to know that we're in a transition period where nothing changes, so of course nothing has changed. You win the prize. It's yours.

Nah, we haven't left yet. There will almost certainly be some economic impact but on what scale remains to be seen. Depends how the government drives the economy.

Fancy that a first time poster with a poorly disguised anti brexit thread.
(Or one of the usual subjects namechanging)

I do wish posters wouldn't refer to the usual subjects - whatever the thread. It's so goady and tedious.

Sorry the usual suspects - whatever the subject of the thread. Goady and tedious.

Why can't people grasp that political events are possible, warned about, and sometimes averted. That doesn't mean they weren't possible.

Crash out no deal was possible, didn't happen. Therefore the immediate shit show has been postponed.

People are so fucking binary. There are shades of shot with Brexit.

Shit

For example you won't see the decreasing scientific research budget which won't impact upon your smug little existence but will effect your children's.

Scientific research appears to be a priority;

"Stian Westlake, a former adviser to three science ministers, including Mr Skidmore, said that “after Brexit”, science funding “is a very high priority for Dom Cummings”.

"The Campaign for Science and Engineering estimated last year that public spending on R&D of £20 billion would be needed...an increase of £9 billion on baseline levels."

"Mr Westlake said of the plans being formed in government: “It’s possible we might be looking at something even more ambitious...I would guess the range of outcomes would be between a 50 per cent increase and a doubling–a doubling would be eye-popping in many ways.”

Perhaps the OP should learn more about what brexit actually is

Goady and tedious
Just like the anti Brexit posts in AIBU every few days.

don't worry, the coronavirus is going to kill us all before Brexit happens.

Feeling better now?

"Stian Westlake, a former adviser to three science ministers, including Mr Skidmore, said that “after Brexit”, science funding “is a very high priority for Dom Cummings”.

Oh, Yippee. Because of course Cummings has found the magic money tree.

OP, how do you feel about the fact that we're currently subject to EU rules and regulations but have no say in what those rules and regulations are?

"Stian Westlake, a former adviser to three science ministers, including Mr Skidmore, said that “after Brexit”, science funding “is a very high priority for Dom Cummings”.

That’ll be the Ben Skidmore sacked by Cummings Johnson?

Think of it as a really shit Christmas present.

You don’t even understand what Brexit IS.

Leavers = thick

Blimey some people really don't get the most basic of facts do they.

We have officially left but we are officially in 'transition', which means everything is still European for now. Negotiations for that have barely started, the posturing has barely begun. Johnson has said he wants to get a proper deal by the end of the year. The Europeans have basically said that it isn't going to happen, sunshine, and not in the way he wants either. We are still at serious risk of no deal.

At the moment, we are like a 5 year old who is 'running away from home', sat in the porch on our suitcase saying "look mummy, I am really doing it". And we will be there until December. At which point we are likely to open the door, go out with no key, and promptly fall off the nearest cliff. But it will "show them", so that's ok

Think of it as a really shit Christmas present.

Thing is, no one mentioned the transition period. People on mn literally stated that on day 1 of leaving the EU (when it was going to be March 31st 2019) we would be up shit creek, the supermarket shelves would be empty and planes would be grounded. That is the picture that was painted about the day after we leave, not after the transition period, the day after we leave.

Thing is, that was due to the real risk we ran of leaving without even the transition period - of leaving with no deal.

Hopefully the risks of no deal will be mitigated by the extra time, but I'm not holding my breath with this shit shower in power. Some of the issues are not easy to wish away.

Some people really seem to think that the people in power in London have the interests of the whole country at heart. Why would we have one of the most unequal countries in Europe if that was ever the case? Why are kids starving here? Why does work not pay? They don't give a shit about the ordinary Joe & Joanne Bloggs.

Half the people on Mumsnet are not really aware of the daily reality of poorer groups. The initial lessons learned immediately after the Brexit vote, of just how little some people have up and down the country and how that impacts their life chances, seem to have been forgotten already. Probably because it isn't convenient knowledge.
