To ask for the tangible benefits to you from Brexit, whichever way you voted

[Bunnyfuller]

I genuinely want to know, what’s improved? Specific to you/your family?

is Brexit as it is what you thought it would be, or if you voted Remain, has it been more positive than you expected?

anyone calling it ‘goady thread’ is possibly saying Brexit isn’t going that well?

🤣
I don’t think there will be many replies… What is there to say about such a total cock up?

None whatsoever.

Can't think of any

Journalist?

Not a single one.

Scotland might get independence.

Not sure if class it as a benefit, but I do quite like the extra stamps in my passport!
The only plus point I’ve yet encountered.

Are you Jacob Rees Mogg-- ?? !! If so bugger off and do your research elsewhere rather than ask mumsnetters to find these extremely elusive benefits!

Better pay for additional hours as fewer European workers competing for work.

The downside has been the government offering visas to the whole planet so this may be short lived.

Immigration lawyer. Never been busier.

None but I voted remain. It’s been worse than I thought it would be-my industry is really struggling without EU workers and I feel a deep sense of loss everytime i go through an airport. I missed the death of a relative last year because the country they live in wasn’t accepting visitors from outside the EU due to covid and I’m looking to move abroad to this country and the visa process is a real pain.

None at all . It’s a disaster

Obviously none. An absolute disaster, as was pointed out multiple times before the vote.

Well for quite complex reasons both myself and DH actually made money from Brexit.
The threat of it also inspired us to organise EU passports for DH and The DC.
It has made us want to leave The UK so much more that we are actually making solid plans to do it

Brexit has increased support for the EU within Europe. No one is looking at the UK and thinking I’ll have some of that please.

Settling in for this...I'd really like to hear at least one benefit that isn't based on 'we won, we left, get over it.' There were a fair few vocal Leave voters at one point before it quite literally became a shitshow where are they now? Show yourselves!

Absolutely NO benefits. Utter shit show, as anyone with a brain knew would be the case.

None.

Well, for a while I got unlimited hours at work due to an absolute lack of staff after all the EU migrants left. Unfortunately, I left this industry due to not being able to get time off approved and being sick of the pressure of constantly working one or two team members down to the detriment of the carer's mental health and the safety of the residents we cared for.

The only benefit is that more and more people seem to be realising that the tories are a bunch of bstrds and so hopefully they won't get voted in again.

Can't say that I've seen any benefits , no.

Oh, I forgot another benefit. Much of my freelance work is paid in dollars so when the £ fell off a cliff that really helped me. Sadly this was offset by a lack of things to buy due to issues importing most things.

It forced me to look into Irish citizenship and as a result I now have an Irish passport and my kids are entitled to one too, as soon as I can afford to pay for it. Although this hasn't benefitted me yet so.... no benefits

Ha ha

@Santiagopink same here. I'm now French as well as British which is quite nice as will my DCs be when I can be bothered to go through the process again!
