Those of you who voted for Brexit when is it going to get better and how?

I didn’t and didn’t see any benefits. Tried to refocus anger about the lies during the campaign to resignation and acceptance. Was ready to try and embrace/ focus on positives and move forward but still really can’t see any. Now just getting increasingly worried and also fearful.

Hit me with all the benefits and when we’re going to see them impacting our lives.

The only positive to me is hopefully more people realising that the DUP don’t give a fuck about their interests.

Do you really think this is healthy? You perhaps want to consider getting some support as it's now a number of years from the vote.
What do you want people to say ?
What is your Aibu?

You need help.

LadyFlossieParkingson · 12/04/2023 07:48

Op kindly I think you need to speak to someone to work through your thoughts/feelings

Don’t all rush at once.

There are no benefits. However, I found it such a horrible feeling to be so bitter and angry about it all the time, so I've kind of moved on.

BadgerFacedCoo · 12/04/2023 07:49

I need 350 million a week for the NHS.

CalistoNoSolo · 12/04/2023 07:49

I'm with you OP. A monumental act of national self harm and still the brexiters can't talk about how awful things have become. I love that they are already out questioning your mental health too.

No don’t need help, a perfectly functioning adult. Just very worried and hoping I don’t need to be,that I’m missing some huge advantages that will outweigh the negatives.

Why would people answer just to get abuse?
Just like all.the other Goady Brexit threads it will be full,of remainers,patting themselves in the back and shouting down any brave person who, tried to say why they voted ,nobody need to explain to.you why they voted they way they did ,people are allowed to vote differently to you.

Yes the absence of the promised 350 million for the NHS is something I’ve had to let go.

So the benefits……

It’s not about why you voted but when is it going to get better and how?

NotTerfNorCis · 12/04/2023 07:54

There are no benefits. If there were, people would be mentioning them instead of coming out with 'salty remainer tears', 'you lost, got over it', 'you need help' or whatever other slogans they use.

SweetSakura · 12/04/2023 07:55

There are no benefits. All the brexiteers have gone very quiet.

Changemaname1 · 12/04/2023 07:55

Why would OP “need help” because she’s anxious / concerned about the path the UK is going down ? Seems a pretty valid concern to me

JustDanceAddict · 12/04/2023 07:56

There are none!

Fuctifin0 · 12/04/2023 07:57

One of my customers owns a large haulage firm.
He said Brexit was the best thing that happened for his firm.
I know things have taken a downturn since. As he said, if people aren't buying things, then things don't need transporting around the country.

Thepeopleversuswork · 12/04/2023 07:57

It is pretty telling that one person asking a reasonable political question which affects millions is made to feel mentally ill for asking.

This is a pretty sure indication that the people who don’t want Brexit to be questioned understand how weak their arguments are.

Yes talking about Brexit again can be tedious but if millions of us don’t feel it’s delivered for us you might want to come up with some tangible evidence as opposed to simply saying we are mad.

GettingThereCharleyBear · 12/04/2023 07:58

I’m with you OP - and the bloody weird comments about you needing help are bizarre. We have voted ourselves into a desperate mess that’s getting worse by the month. I’m not sure what the answer is but those telling you not to worry are the reason politicians get away with this shit. Let’s all look the other way and let them crack on with screwing us 🙄.

bustoterminal · 12/04/2023 07:59

How do they know?

SparklingChampagneAndStrawberries · 12/04/2023 07:59

Bore off, this has been done to death.

Treacletoots · 12/04/2023 07:59

Of course there are benefits OP. A lot of rich people, closely linked to our very own politicians managed to avoid paying a lot of tax, which some cynical people might say was the exact reason the ERG started their propaganda campaign to leave all those years ago.

The rest of us however... not so much
