Please tell me specifically how Brexit will affect you

[ConorMcGregorsChin]

Exactly that.

To the average Joe on the street, they may not have thought it may affect their job.
Even for those who trade daily with the EU
Remainers seem to be constantly poo pooed.
Its been said on these threads before that Leavers would rather leave with No Deal and still brazenly say that this is what they wanted all along, rather than admit that belonging to the EU never really crossed their mind on a daily basis. Or that they were lied to.

The UK has been divided since the Referendum in 2016. Personally, I've been gutted. I had a fellow parent the day after tell me he was 'Buzzing' at the result. I'm sorry to say I think his reasons were misguided.

My own personal experience may be biased, but I give talks to schools. And I have nothing to gain from this.
Most people agree that bees need to be saved. The EU have played a crucial role in banning neoincotinoid pesticides from being used. The UK will overturn this rule and let farmers use whatever they like. This is a massive deal. This will kill bees. And it will happen overnight. Not to mention other things like the Domestic abusive bill being abandoned.

I'm keen to know why anyone would post union Jack flags and just claim that they want their country back. Aside from racial elements. I really want to know what people seriously think we can gain from this total shit storm.

My mum will have to come over sooner without sorting everything out in our home country so there's money going to be wasted on that. Worried that if they implement the previous rules where you were allowed only to reside 3 months on and 3 months off she'd rather not move here at all.

Worried about what rights etc I'll have after Brexit and if the government is genuinely going to maintain our existing rights or will they be diminished? Will I have to relocate again?! Selfishly, I don't want to, I'm settled here. Plus, my kid only speaks a little of my native language, he wouldn't be too settled over there.

At least, he has dual citizenship...

No-one knows when they will have health concerns. Until a week last Thursday I thought we didn't have too many serious health concerns... Then there was the lump. It might be nothing serious, but there is always the concern that it is something that hat needs treatment.

It could happen to anyone any time.

Right at this moment in time it hasn't. But I have an awful knot permanently in my stomach about what is coming because I know it isn't rainbow shitting unicorns.

I know not everyone shares my sentiments but I am clinging onto my faith right now as I have nothing else.

Just glad I didn't start reducing my meds. if I feel like this on them, I can't imagine how I would be without.

Though having actually read the list my anti-depressants are on there.

Joy oh joy or not as the case may be

Potentialmadcatlady - The Hrt shortage is nothing to do with Brexit. It is because of a manufacturing problem in China.

Blackeyed

I hope it's nothing.

Unemployment.

Unable to afford food and fuel as a consequence of unemployment.

Possible life saving medication shortages for DH.

Lovely professionals, e.g. Polish dentist, French vet, returning to their homelands.

For everyone - food shortages, civil unrest, recession...a very unhappy Christmas this year for many people.

And I feel very sad for the animals and pets who will be the innocent victims of the stupid Brexit voters and No Deal politicians.

I live in continental Europe but work for a UK company and am paid in £ (I know, silly me). It's already affecting my pay cheque because of the poor pound and I honestly don't know whether my life will be feasible after Brexit. I'm fortunate that I can move if needed and have some safety nets, but it could mean uprooting DD.

I work for a European company. They may decide to pull out of the UK. I could lose my job. And it will be difficult to get another, as my company is a big employer in the area.

I'm a single parent. If I lose my job my mortgage doesn't get paid. I could lose my home.

Work is slowing down in dps industry (construction), so worries mainly about redundancy and financial implications for us (mortgage etc).

I wish the shitty politicians who got us into this mess will have to personally contribute their own wealth to help out in the chaos after Brexit. I read about Jacob Rees Moggs company and how they are set to profit and it makes my blood boil

The Hrt shortage is nothing to do with Brexit. It is because of a manufacturing problem in China

Funny how other European countries aren't affected like the UK is

It won't directly affect me as I left the UK years ago. But I am worried about my family in NI (although some of my thicker cousins are vociferous leavers). I will be getting an Aussie passport soon, I won't bother keeping a UK one.

I do wonder how many posters here voted Leave, and would be honest enough to admit that Johnson, Gove and Farage lied to you?

The one positive that Leavers did vote for was more money for the NHS - not to be shit scared of death or compromised life styles because they can't get essential medication.

I have epilepsy.

My medicine stops me from having daily tonic clinic seizures.

As of August I was no longer able to get my three month at a time prescription.

I will only get one month at a time until new deals between us and EU suppliers are agreed. There are no UK ones who produce my medicine.

I am only allowed monthly from now on because they don't want people to stockpile and leave even more people short in the case of no deal (or a shit deal where the details haven't been ironed out).

On top of that, even if an agreement between us and the EU suppliers of my medicine was to go through relatively quickly, there will be huge delays at ports etc that will still hold up the supply chain massively.

Three times so far I have narrowly avoided dying as a result of tonic clinic seizures.

So I could die.

I hope the people claiming that me and other people in my situation are overreacting don't have any relatives with serious illnesses. I'd like to think they are ignorant to this rather than thoughtless and selfish.

@Wiltshirelass2019

If this is a ‘Brexit is oblivion’ thread then I do apologise and I’ll leave! Xx

Please don't leave - I want people to understand the issues this is causing, not disengage from the conversations about it. (That's not me being sarcy I really mean it but tone is hard to gauge written down so just wanted to clarify.

The fact is that many of us have already had our medicine supply disrupted and been warned there will be a shortage. Not may be a shortage, WILL be a shortage, is already a shortage.

Life saving medicine is already being affected, whatever happens next, because of the shit show Brexit has become.

It's not a case of what ifs for people like me, it's already happening.

The fluctuations in currency have cost me around 20% of my turnover in the last year...

RosiePosiePuddle in all your scenarios you say ‘probably’ so even you don’t know how it will affect you

You are correct. I don't know exactly. But I do know it WILL change things, because that is the point of leaving!!! Both of our countries will have a third country arrangement with each other.
So I can imagine based on others who married Australians, Americans, etc.

Lots of things will be different but because the government is inept, or worse, we don't know precisely how. That is both causing anxiety in some and antagonistic nonchalance in others.

No one knows how it will affect them.
As others have pointed out, a lot of us, especially Brits abroad, do! We can't afford to just sit around to see how it pans out. Come Brexit day our legal situation changes- our right to work, travel, drive, live in our homes is not the same as it was before. And all this without being given the right to vote in the referendum! I agree with the pp poster who said that if you say it doesn't affect you yet it's because you really are only thinking of yourself. A lot of people don't have that luxury.

So very many different situations on here. And this is just a tiny snapshot of the whole picture.

Agree with what you've just said, RosiePosiePuddle the people of the UK are currently divided by what could be defined as anxiety around people's situations, and those with antagonistic nonchalance.
And as this thread has shown, it's not just UK citizens. Many families live, work or have relatives in or from other countries. This affects so many people. And none of us have had a real say in any of this mess.

Autumncrow - Do you have a link for that?

To the PP who said that it seems it’s middle class remainers who are most worried and that they can’t relate to them ... well I fall into that category. I’m not particularly worried about the impact on me personally BUT when experts from all sectors - who know waaayyy more than me - inc. farming and agriculture, medicine, and Northern Ireland say it’s going to be seriously detrimental to the UK and lives of others, I listen.

Short term - probably not too much, well not as much as some people.

I do have some concerns for medicine but nothing life threatening necessarily.

Food we we will stockpile a bit and hopefully be OK.

As long as we are both in employment we will be able to absorb the price rises without too much inconvenience.

Fuel is a concern and I do remember the fuel protests a number of years ago. We will make sure we keep both cars filled in run up to 31st. DH does have a 25 mile commute to work so tank can quickly go down.

Food banks - I will probably no longer donate too. Sorry but i need to make sure my family are ok in the long term.

Any old clothes / toys etc i will sell to get a little spare cash instead of donating to those who need them.

Any charity donations I make may have to stop depending on price rises.

Long term I am concerned. I worry about tue education my children will receive. I worry about the future of the NHS.

And I am worried about my families long term prospects if the economy tanks.

I will also stop being british most likely and be a foreigner in the country I live in.

the people who are most worried are anyone with any intelligence.

the people who arent worried are the ones going around grunting 'we dont have a crystal ball - nobody knows'- When you see them cheerfully dismissing the dire warnings of the govts own yelloowhammer report, the food and drink association, the road haulage association, the cbi, the tuc, the bofe, all medical bodies from radiographers to midwives. etc. you know youre dealing with the thickest of the thick.

I work in a pharmacy.

We have had a sparkly new panic button installed... One of those that connects directly to the police...

nothing to do with brexit coming, no,no,no of course not

My DH is a freelancer and is between jobs right now, although only as of a fortnight ago. Things are have been increasingly slow between jobs and are very slow right now. A friend who recruits in the sector says she is seeing people unemployed for 6+ months a lot lately, so it's definitely affecting that.

We are very fortunate that I have come into an inheritance lately that could keep us afloat for a long time potentially... if we'd been in the financial situation we were in 18 months ago (when we basically had equivalent month's worth of bills left) it would absolutely code-red emergency as my salary alone doesn't cover our 'running costs'. And plenty of people will be in that situation now.
