Brexit

What are you most looking forward to POST-Brexit?

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 Flowers

I am still not getting a sense of the advantages of leaving. I am being open minded here but all I hear is fairly high level stuff...

What has the UK - EU trade deficit got to with it? (The deficit is only on goods not services). All it means is we want goods produced by the EU more than they want what we produce. Post Brexit that won’t change. Why would you look at trade figures in isolation rather than the overall benefit?

The EU doesn’t cost the EU £50m a day - we have benefited from a significant rebate.

Getting my citizenship from the EU country where I live.
Other than that I don't see anything else to look forward to.

Poor old mystery doesn't understand the concept of trade deficits. Best to ignore.

Cant believe remainers still moaning away about brexit.
Will they ever get over it?

Why would I want to ‘get over’ something which is going to have such a negative effect on the lives of my family?

Because you have no choice.
You either except the UK is leaving the EU and get on with your life, or you move to an EU country where you’ll feel happier.
Moaning away on the internet is getting you nowhere.
It’s time to move on.

We have a Government led by a liar and a cheat, who threw decent members out of the party.

This is not something I personally want to 'accept'. It seems to me to be something which is worth fighting against.

I wonder what the family of Nadia Zaghari-Ratcliffe are thinking about Boris starting another decade as PM when he still hasn’t taken responsibility for what he has done to her - hardly the actions of a responsible PM.

But Peregrina what are you actually going to do about it?
The tories have got such a massive majority they’ll win the next election too.
Labour are unelectable as a socialist party so they need to find another Tony Blair, and the liberals are completely dead.
Where are you going to find what you’re looking for?
There won’t be a peoples vote or 2nd referendum. It’s over.

What am I going to do? Try to take a leaf out of the books of people who helped bring down a corrupt regime. Or otherwise, we are like those people who said "we didn't know", when the truthful answer is "we didn't want to know and couldn't be bothered to find out."

It does appear that most Quitlings don't understand democracy. Nor, indeed, trade...

Thatcher had massive majorities, but she did have some popular policies to back them up.

Blair had massive majorities.

Johnson has a majority but apart from 'Get Brexit Done' he hasn't got any popular policies, and I for one, don't believe a word about his talk about supporting the NHS.

Dirty,
The Iranians are responsible for the imprisonment of Nadia Zaghari Radcliffe, not Boris.
Continued moaning on here may make you feel better but why not move on. Give this new government a chance.
It's no good saying "oh dear, Boris is a liar". All politicians are liars and at least Boris has the support of the majority of the country and is making an effort to bring people together.

I am not going to accept that 'all politicians are liars'

Take the example of John Major - I believe he was fundamentally a decent man, a major achievement of which was working to get the Good Friday Agreement, which brought 20 years of peace.

I don't think a few glib soundbites are 'making an effort to bring people together'. Where is Johnson now - did he go and visit a homeless shelter over Christmas? Did he f* - he swanned off to the Caribbean with his young 'girlfriend'.

She may be imprisoned by the Iranians but Boris’s actions made the position much worse and he has yet to apologise.

Wasn't it Gove and Johnson opening their big mouths which got her imprisoned in the first place? It's not as though the nature of the Iranian regime was unknown, so some tact might have been in order.

If you’re that bothered by the Nadia Zaghari Radcliffe case then go and protest outside the Iranian embassy.

Nothing is going to bring the country together when people see that there is nothing of benefit in the Tory manifesto and the effects of Brexit start negatively affecting people. Boris is going to have to come up with something new.

UK can restore its pride.
As one of worlds oldest democratic systems we had become a laughing stock, as Parliament betrayed the electorate.
MPs had betrayed their constituents. It was a sad state of affairs.
Even delusional Media could not accept democracy.
SO, at last we have a Parliament that can restore the simple stuff.
UK economy can now go forward, we will still trade with EU, and we can start the process of trade agreements with rest of world.

Britain is a trading nation, we have been held back by restrictions from a corrupt and federal EU.

Sadly remoaners will still cry and moan. We had to accept the original referendum result for 40 years... now time for PRO EU snowflakes to accept UK being out of EU.... and STOP MOANING. Not very British way of dealing with reality.

UK will lead the way for rest of Europe.... many others will leave.

Greece has been ruined, Italian unemployment is woeful, even France and Spain are wondering why they are part of the EU....

We will also be free of WOEFUL remoaners waving the flag of a corrupt federal state....

GO BORIS -

AND the best bit(s) ?

ANNA SOUBRY !! has to shut up
OWEN JONES !! has to shut up
NO MORE DELUSIONAL JO SWINSON
