How will your life be better after Brexit?

[BertrandRussell]

?

🤣

I think only JRM and a few others could truthfully claim their lives might be better afterwards

Hedge funds will love that shit.

99.99999% of us won't

I'm a huge fan of dystopian fiction do seeing the UK go to hell in real time might be interesting.

If you live abroad yes.
I enjoyed the Mad Max films. Never fancied being part of such a world.

This thread will demonstrate the absolute idiocy of this situation

There won’t be any posts on here from Leavers which contain anything tangible or quantifiable

At best it’ll be about feelings.

Well feelings aren’t going to protect you from price rise or lack of medication

I honestly thought that it would eventually dawn on Leavers that there are no upsides here, only negatives but it hasn’t at all. They’ve doubled down and dug in.

It’s complete and utter madness.

It will go back to the deprived times I remember as a young person. I am too depressed to think any further.

I used to teach A Level Law. If I go back to it, I wont have to teach EU law, the most boring and complicated subject on the syllabus!

Great question OP! Can't actually think of anything at all, but following with interest.

Farage will vanish?

To stop hearing about it what might happen, as it'll be happening

What I find particularly depressing is that even leavers seem to be saying “It’ll be OK/nor as bad as people think/it’ll be fine.” As far as I am aware, absolutely nobody is saying that life will be better. If you think will be, please make me feel better. I desperately want it to be- I still have to live here and I want to be wrong.

Nothing, absolutely nothing in my life will be better after Brexshit.

I asked a brexiteer that the other day.

He said, "day to day my life won't change, but my identity, my sense of self-worth will improve."

(Then he told me to be proud to be British, have hope, Boris will make a great deal...)

I will get to start again in my home nation and tell Brexiteers of my acquaintance that I told them so....

Another Brexiteer told me she is really looking forward to only having seasonal fruit.

Apparently it never occurred to her that she didn't have to buy fruit out of season.

I’ll be happy if the Tory party disintegrates. After all, the belief that they are the party who knows how to manage the economy has been shown to be a myth. The belief that they are the party of common sense can’t persist much longer either.

I just hope they don’t do a damaging trade deal with the US before that happens. We could waste decades trying to claw back the rights and protections we enjoy today.

Actually, I quite like the idea of only seasonal fruit and vegetable too. When I was a child satsumas/mandarins/little oranges were a Christmas treat. And looking forward to the strawberries and raspberries ripening was very exciting. Thank you- the first sort of benefit! But only if you have some sort of self-denying ordinance going on.........

I work with unemployed people, so an increase in unemployment may work in my favour. Cheery eh?

No can know of course. But I'm hoping that people will be forced to be less greedy. Less need/wish for cars/big houses so much material stuff etc. I'm hoping that it makes the whole population reflect/think and realise what our selfishness and rashness has led to so eventually we become more outward looking and care for one another more. I hope it changes politics in this country for the better.

I'm hoping that good change comes from the suffering that Brexit will bring.

I'll eat less carbs (food shortages)and walk more (petroleum shortages) so might be thinner.

I might learn how to forage mushrooms, nettles and road kill. So that's a new skill.

Um, using doc leaves in lieu of loo roll? Eco aware?

I shall be celebrating not having to join the non existent EU army with a bendy banana which I shall slice on my blue passport.

And I shall have plenty of time to eat my bendy bananas whilst sat in my lorry cab for two days waiting for customs checks.

Positivity people!

Remainer here. Don't want to leave and don't think it will be good but I don't think it will be a mad max type scenario. Even the yellowhammer docs didn't predict societal collapse!

But my family come from somewhere you could have been rounded up and shot for having an anti government opinion. They watched friends and family tortured and killed.

With that kind of legacy, I can't get as worked up as others about a no deal brexit, much as I don't want it to happen.

I think it is interesting how the narrative has changed so dramatically.

Before the referendum, brexiteers certainly thought brexit would bring benefits, life would improve, there would be great deals and more money for the NHS, less immigrants sucking up services etc. Better houses. They talked about control and sovereignty a lot.

Now they don't. Now the brexiteers main benefit is: 'It might be good/it might not, nobody knows.' or 'We got through the war...'
