What will Brexit really mean???

[WhatchaMaCalllit]

What will it really mean when the UK leaves the EU?

• No more adherence to EU legislation
• UK controls their own borders (this is interesting and has huge implications for Northern Ireland and Rep of Ireland which up to very recently has not been a priority for the UK Government)
• No more paying into the EU

• No more taking out of the EU (farming subsidies would be gone)
• Freedom of movement of EU citizens (the other EU member countries could require UK citizens to apply for and need a visa to travel to their country and the UK could require a visa to visit England, Scotland, Wales and NI - how workable is that really???)

Anything else?? (the above is what I've thought off the top of my head but I'm sure there is considerably more that will take place).

What does 'get control back' actually mean though?

What does 'get control back' actually mean though?

Its a feeling. Like sovereignty. Brexit is a feeling. Brexit won't pay the bills but its warm and fuzzy so who cares?

It's going to mean a lot of people very unhappy.

Either because what they have voted for won't happen
E.g. Restricting immigration - the current ministers have already said that number of immigrants will not go down for quite a while.

Or because the consequences of the vote will not be what they wanted
E.g. Brexit is going to cost A LOT of money (wo even going into the TWO, the SM or FTA) and we will have to pay for that.

In effect, people have been voted to go out but have never been asked what sort of OUT they wanted or that would be achieved so they are bound to be disappointed. This will not be the Brexit they were imagining.

I also feel that a lot of other things are being implemented as we go along, some 'because' of Brexit (e.g. Increase in NCI or business rates). Some because this being so unsettled, it's a good time to out them through wo too much hassle (privatisation of the NHS, spying law, or grammar schools and the running down of the education system).

In effect, it seems that we are all getting a lot more than we bargain or voted for.

And of course, this is even before we even go into the whole 'negociations' side of things that will have a huge impact on what Brexit might look like.
