What are you most looking forward to POST-Brexit?

[Pumperthepumper]

I was a remain voter, and voted tactically against the Tories. I lost.

But onwards and upwards! We’re getting Brexit in January, like it or not, so I was just wondering what everyone was looking forward to the most?

I asked on a different pro-Brexit thread but nobody gave me an answer.

For me it’s the 350 million to the NHS with no trade deals with Trump. Or the continuing Peace in NI with no messing around with the GFA. Or the trade deals we’ve been promised without any reduction in standards.

I’m so ready to be convinced of how brilliant Brexit will be! Let me hear your positives, please

Looking forward to the maggots in fruit juice which will provide much-needed extra protein.

I keep opening this thread and the only thing I've got is "erm..." as I can't think of anything I can look forward to.

I'm not looking forward to Brexit at all. But if all hell breaks loose and Brexageddon happens them I'm quite looking forward to:

Not getting up at 6am to go to work.
Not having to put up with my Brexit voting colleagues/boss anymore.
Not cleaning the house anymore - because who does that in the apocalypse?

Same goes for laundry/ironing etc.
Feeling less guilty about the poor life choices I made, I can blame everything on Brexit.

Not paying my bills.
Not paying taxes.

Maybe this is the future the Brexiters envision? I'm not sure the downsides (poverty/unrest/violence/war/starvation/death) quite balance it out. I could be wrong.

Nothing...as a T1 diabetic it could easily kill me if I can't get my insulin pens, needles, test strips (all manufactured in Denmark or Germany) I need to survive 😞

Complete break up of the EU. Always was a silly idea. A club that has 28 members, but only 10 pay in and the other 18 take out is doomed to failure.

Yes in economic terms it was a real failure for the UK - only the 5 th strongest.

Oh mystery, you are funny. It's a bit like some tax payers paying more, and some paying less, for the overall good. Shocking state of affairs. Do carry on though, I like a laugh.

If EU membership is great why have remain supporters had their arses kicked for a second time?

Based on 2017 figures the UK’s contribution to the EU budget per capita was only €112.85 - a pittance for the benefits we received. We’re going to be loosing so much as a country and individually.

We haven’t.

Alsohuman. Unfortunately, much of the electorate believed the lies that were and are still coming out. Dominic Cummings has his hand inserted in a puppet who spews out simple meaningless but ‘feel good’ straplines. “Let’s just get Brexit done”, “Make Britain great again”, “Forty extra hospitals”, “50, 000 extra nurses”. Repeated ad nauseum despite being untrue.

Remain scaremongering lasted 3 years and it didn’t sway anyone.

It was forecast that a leave vote alone even before Brexit happened would result in up to 800,000 jobs being lost, GDP drop of 6%, property price crash, massive increase in death rate due to lack of drugs and food.

None of it ever happened. Hence the leave supporters cleaned up in the recent election.

Also remember that leave vote was not just for economic reasons (had very little influence in my view), but more to do with national pride.

Why should UK, that has smashed Germany twice in world wars, be taking orders from Germany?

We haven’t

So why are; Labour, LibDems, Greens, SNP not in power if they, as you suggest, won the last election?

Labours result was the worst since 1935

Jo Swinson lost her seat

No change in the SNP support. 55% of Scotland still against independence from the UK.

@MysteryTripAgain - your comments are so out of touch with the real world, it’s scary. I’m assuming that you did little research about the benefits from being in the EU, not just for the UK but the EU members as a whole. In 2019 it’s awful to refer to the UK smashing Germany during the Wars - inaccurate and not appropriate language. The EU doesn’t operate with one country giving orders to another so your knowledge of the operations of the EU are flawed.

Repeated ad nauseum despite being untrue

Project fear repeated for 3 years and none of it over happened.

Where are the 800,000 job losses?

Where is the 6% drop in GDP?

Where is the increased death rate from lack of food?

That labour and LibDems got hammered in the election proves that the electorate did not believe what they said and had much more confidence in Boris.

If Boris is so bad how do the remainers explain he hammered the remain supporting parties?

Lol, mystery. Have we left yet?

So why are; Labour, LibDems, Greens, SNP not in power if they, as you suggest, won the last election?

I suggested nothing of the sort. It was an election, not a referendum. Had it been based on the number of votes, not first past the post, the majority would have been for remain supporting parties.

How many believed what?

Perhaps your grasp of UK having to ask America for help may have been the history lesson you missed....

The odd leaver comes along periodically to repeat the same old retrospective ex post facto attempts at justification. It's odd.

Why would you do that unless there's a suppressed realisation that they've made a mistake. A mistake they want to shirk responsibility for.

Look just own it- show us evidence that all this American private equity will nudge our economy up to 4th,3rd, 2nd etc place.

Maybe your Parker Pen needs a new refill as you write the same garbage over and over.

I have but one question. How does a wealthy person gain by giving away their wealth to poor persons?

How does 10 paying into the EU when they are 18 taking out from the EU benefit the 10 that pay in?

UK is the third largest donor to the EU, but has an ever increasing trade deficit with the EU currently £64 billion. However, at same time has a trade surplus of £44 billion with Non EU countries. So how does remain in EU make sense to UK?

How does a wealthy person gain by giving away their wealth to poor persons?

Ask Bill Gates, he does it all the time.

I think it's very naive to suggest the election wasn't an endorsement of Leave when so many impenetrable labour seats went to the Tories. Simply unheard of and I'm sure will revert back to labour once Brexit is over the line, provided more centrist labour supporters are allowed to stand, that is.

Surely it's about time to stop all the hand wringing and hair tearing and work to get a good deal which allows trade at a reasonable cost and stop all the doom mongering. We will still trade at a favourable rate with the EU. It's in everyone's interest and now that all possibility of Remain is gone the EU will just do what they should have done from the beginning and look at theirs and their trading partners best interest and do deals. We've opted out if the eu expansion not the market.

It's all so tiresome

After 2017 we were constantly told that 85% of people voted for Leave supporting parties... well after 2019, 47% voted for leave parties, 53% for remain ones.

Just 13m people voted for Johnson, 10m for lab ... which is amazing as they had a leader with a -40% popularity rating! the turnout was low too.

Building up smaller economies, benefits all of europe, our system requires new markets... adds to stability, opens up tourism, reduces economic migration.
