How will i be better off?

[FreakStar]

So, a majority voted for Brexit- you must think we will benefit in some way. What can I look forward to being better?

Naga listened gobsmacked at this sentence

Completely irrelevant but I love Naga, she has a beauty and eloquence that just makes me admire her.

People will have to stop blaming 'unelected bureaucrats in Brussels' for everything

Think Remainers and the EU will still be scapegoats. I can imagine them saying "If Remoaners got behind things..." "If the EU..."

The thing is the day after the referendum, Cameron should have said something like "Leave have won the election but we hope that Remainers will also help Britain achieve goals X, Y and Z " May and Johnson should have been reassuring us that they are in control and have a plan that takes into account worries that Remainers have like the rights of EU citizens currently in the UK, the supply of medicines that we import via the EU etc. Johnson in particular has a history of lying but he could have reassured things without getting nasty about people who voted remain.

Well the NHS should be £350 Million better off by the end of next week, and every week thereafter . . . .

We pay the EU until the end of the transition period so next year!!

It doesn't matter if there are any tangible benefits because it was about sovereignty/ national pride/feelings and other non tangible benefits such as a momentary feeling of smugness.

Pretty much that, and no longer being told what to do by the EU.

Dill baby, I guess I was being hopeful for house prices and giving the young a chance!
Just hoping it's not as bad as you say but I can see that happening too. : (
Have to see how it pans out.
(The government will start to get the blame though this could all backfire on them and it won't be pretty)

More powerful vacuum cleaners.

Can't think of anything else.

House price crash would stagnate the market further as no one will move due to negative equity mortgages!

But @frumpety what are the things you would list as benefits?

I’m genuinely interested. I heard an interview with a woman on the news today and she was crying as she was so happy that the UK has left. That’s great, I’m happy for her. But I just don’t understand how she thinks her life will change. What is it you are ‘getting’?

Straight Bananas
Blue Passport
Holidays at Home
New goods on Supermarket shelves
Less jobs
Crash in housing market
Did I mention blue passports?
...

More powerful vacuum cleaners.

And maybe not having to spend 30 minutes in a shop trying to work out what sodding light bulb you need.

More meals made from turnips.

More meals made from turnips.

Is it a turnip or a swede though?

Bore off. You are about the millionth post on bloody Brexit this weekend. I am sick of it, and yes I have paged past all the other posts, you are the final straw

I’m looking forward to fields where unicorns roam free.

Childhood dream and all that.

What a post about Brexit on the Brexit topic? How very rare there be. We should be talking about the other Jan 31st 11pm deadline.

Is it a turnip or a swede though?

Turnips if you're English, neeps if you're Scottish. The Welsh and Northern Irish get to choose.

Chloemol it's in the brexit section, that's kind of what it's there for.

Gracious it could be as divisive as Brexit itself.

I did hear that san pro costs might decrease. (Believe that when I see it)

Majority is manufactured abroad so it seems doubtful.

Well according to my dad everything will be cheaper.
Someone else said there will be big pay rises for low paid work, such as care work which is what I do.
And according to my colleague, "all those foreign girls* we work with will have to go home" so I guess I'll be able to get loads of overtime at the higher pay rate and enjoy cheaper goods.

Only the very lovely girls she means are from non EU countries anyway so won't be going anywhere.

From what I've seen on brexit threads previously the answer is 'sigh these threads are so goady. I will not repeat the reasons brexit is great because its been said a million times already. You're just mad you lost'

Or a variation on that theme. In other words not a fucking clue.

Actually I did think of something the other day, we'll be able to buy duty free within the EU. We won't be able to afford it like but some people might get cheap fags?!

Urm sorry... This is from the BBC...

*Is anything changing with duty free?
Duty-free shopping within the EU came to an end in 1999 and will not return during the transition.

Any changes after the transition will be determined by the EU-UK negotiations.*

Criminals will be better off, Germany wont extradite to any non EU country but will do to an international court.

No european arrest warrant either.

So, if you can get to Berlin.......

This is disgusting behaviour
