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

I'm just looking forward to some sort of resolution. The tantalising possibility that it might not happen has been eating away at me.

Getting fitter as my cleaner will be off back to her country of birth and I won't be able to afford to employ one anyway.

Lots of free time as I have less and less work on, coupled with new challenges I suppose. Pity that the old challenges were working fine.

As someone said, getting thinner! I feel there will be a lot of belt-tightening.

What am I looking forward to? Dying because I really don’t want to live through the shit that lies ahead.

My right wing Tory voting parents wailing "but they lied to us!" Just like they did about some shitty thing David Cameron's Tory government did.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new rUK flag design when Scotland leaves and takes the saltire with them 🇬🇧-🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 =?

Hmmm - given Johnson's sterling reputation, I am not holding out hope for a good trade deal. My positives are:

• A Brexit led recession that indirectly benefits the environment as we all buy less stuff (including holidays)
• Exodus of those pesky experts back to Europe (no one needs doctors, after all!)
• Resumption of the blitz spirit as people spontaneously volunteer to do care and field work to plug the gaps in recruitment.
• Busineses start pricing in US dollars as the pound slides and becomes the informal currency (convenient)
• The implosion of the Tory party's reputation for economic competence when it goes tits up.

That's it. Johnson's manifesto was very nebulous, so I am waiting on actions, rather than promises.

So unethical
You want to retire here so presumably you will be using public services like the NHS. Will you be paying for everything privately? Or just using without contributing?

I have paid my own National Insurance Contributions since late 80s. By doing so I am entitled to state pension and healthcare in the UK.

but with it taking 50+ years for the economy to recover from Brexit (source : JRM) I'm not sure how on earth we'll generate sufficient GDP to repay

Misquote again by remain supporters. JRM stated it could take up to 50 years for UK to feel the full benefits of Brexit.

By which time JR-M will probably be dead, and won't be able to enjoy it.

Pension yes. You may get a shock with healthcare - which you are most definitely not entitled to but will probably get because we’re stupid.

But then Mystery, if you go round telling people, someone who is entitled to healthcare but is not accessing it might well rat on you. So don't be too smug yet.

A bit like these people who rent to cheat at getting a 'good' school place. Those who miss out are quick to point out the the LA what has happened. But off topic here.

I’m looking forward to some kind of resolution tbh. I voted Remain at the time as I just couldn’t see with any clarity the benefits of voting Leave although I was aware many people around me felt differently.

I wasn’t surprised by the result or by the dawning realisation that it wasn’t going to be “ the easiest deal in history”.

I have been frustrated by the endless arguments and delays so I want to see resolution. For that reason I am glad there is once again a majority Govt. Things might actually begin to move forwards now and then we shall see what the outcome is .

It will either be a resounding success with unicorns, rainbows etc etc.

Or it will be a disaster with people starving and dying for lack of medicine.

Or more likely (I hope) something in between...some successful stuff, some not so successful stuff.

Can’t wait to see the look on my neighbours face though when he realises immigration will still be happening.

@MysteryTripAgain, what's the difference? It's still 50 years to recover from brexit.

Which explains why no Brexiteers on this thread have been able to list the things they are looking forward to post Brexit as any possible positives won't be apparent to them for 50 years.

Meanwhile JRM etc will have lots to look forward to once we leave with no deal at the end of 2020 as he no doubt has interests in US businesses eg US pharma, who stand to make a fortune from Brexit through trade deals with us which will solely benefit them and screw over UK taxpayers.

I don't care if I sound like a complete b*tch when I say this but I will be glad when the very people who voted for the Tories and Brexit are those most likely to be worse off as a result, and it serves them bloody well right.

And if and when any minor benefits become apparent, most of them will be 6 feet under. What a complete and utter balls up.

And yes I do think all Tory voters and Brexiteers are stupid, gullible fools. When will the penny drop that the Tories and BJ in particular are only ever going to look after THEMSELVES and NOT you?

I despair.

I'm looking forward to leaving here in about 10 years time and retiring somewhere hot and tropical. I do not want to live in a tiny outpost of the USA.

Mystery are you bitter about your father having to pay for the care he needed ? Were you expecting a cradle to grave scenario ?

Sorry posted too soon, if so you must have been out of the country for a very long time.

Pension yes. You may get a shock with healthcare - which you are most definitely not entitled to but will probably get because we’re stupid

Some of my relatives have been in care homes for years even though they hardly ever worked in their lives. UK can’t take what people have not got.

But then Mystery, if you go round telling people, someone who is entitled to healthcare but is not accessing it might well rat on you. So don't be too smug yet

My comments only appear on anonymous websites. Hahaha.

@MysteryTripAgain, what's the difference? It's still 50 years to recover from brexit

Again a misquote. JRM did not say it would take 50 years to recover from Brexit, but 50 years to feel the full benefits of Brexit.

However, doubt I will be around in 50 years time. Working outside the UK tax free pays for a lot of cognac and Cuban cigars.

Mystery are you bitter about your father having to pay for the care he needed ? Were you expecting a cradle to grave scenario ?

Two of his siblings dole scrounged their entire lives and one of them is in the same care home receiving same care for free. Does not sound like a fair system to me.

Can’t wait to see the look on my neighbours face though when he realises immigration will still be happening.

Yes one of the very few upsides will be the passing irony when FIL realises that non EU migration will increase instead. Indeed the stats are showing this already. I do wonder if under the new regime such information will become less available though.

I'm looking forward to being able to read the paper and it not be about Brexit. I'm looking forward to things for the country actually being done and not every parliamentary session being about Brexit and MPs voting according to their beliefs and not what there constitucies/the majority voted for. And most of all I'm looking forward to when people who didn't get their own way get the hell over it and start contributing to the change happening in the country instead of acting like my two year old when he is told no.

I think this is going to be a real issue. A lot of the people around here are extremely racist-I work in a school and we are getting increasing issues between parents over the last couple of years. Many ‘foreign’ parents are being subject to daily abuse and ostracism from the English ones-it’s rolling over into the playground as well with your don’t belong here/go back home’ type comments between children. It’s horrible.

I think there are a lot of brits assuming Boris will ‘get this done’ and send all the foreigners ‘back home’.

Cooper, you are going to have to wait a while longer I fear. This year's politics are going to be dominated by Brexit again.

I'm looking forward to being able to read the paper and it not be about Brexit

You’re going to be reading about Brexit for many years to come. “Get Brexit Done” is a facile slogan.

And most of all I'm looking forward to when people who didn't get their own way get the hell over it and start contributing to the change happening in the country instead of acting like my two year old when he is told no

Professionally I will be picking up the pieces for you until I retire, but specifically how would you like me to contribute to the change? Or is that another meaningless Brexiteer soundbite?
