What have we gained by Brexit/leaving the EU?

In simple terms.

I've read so much about what we've lost.

Please no sarcastic comments. I just want to know what we've gained - probably best if those who think Brexit is a positive thing post.

As for benefitting from Brexit on a personal level we will. DH has more work and as I said before he is getting on call payments for the next month or so. My company can charge twice now, once for The EU and once for Europe so more work and commission for me.
So why am I not jumping for joy? Because I’m not a selfish arsehole and I am concerned about people like car factory workers in Sunderland or Farmers in Cornwall, even that idiot Brexiteer with the eels ( well his staff anyway). Maybe a very small number of people (other than very rich Tories) will benefit from Brexit but as a country I fear things will most certainly be worse for most people.

How many altruists we have here. Marvel at the thousands of them in the remoaner ranks (whilst they soak up double time payments on various forms of employment in the process). I believe we are seeing here the passengers of the gravy train.

Mistigri · 01/01/2021 21:12

Nope. Creepy and completely ridiculous at the same time.

If it's as stalky as it sounds I hope you reported it.

Try reading what people have actually written!
Why are you so unhappy Terry?

Mistigri · 01/01/2021 21:16

Brexiters are amazingly snowflakey about remoaners who won't shut up.

That's democracy sunshine.

Peregrina · 01/01/2021 21:18

Do you not like the Brexit Johnson has served up for you? Sold you out as a fisherman? Or you live in Kent and your rolling fields are going to be turned into a lorry park, and it's not fair?

DoubleTweenQueen · 01/01/2021 21:22

Niggling doubts and a dollop of unsettling anxiety, perhaps? Like coming of LSD

DoubleTweenQueen · 01/01/2021 21:23

apologies, *off

ListeningQuietly · 01/01/2021 21:27

Brexit was by the rich for the rich

it really is that simple

and until the non rich wake up and demand
Electoral Reform
and
Reform of media ownership
the UK is stuffed

TerryHearn · 01/01/2021 21:32

Some of the richest people we have in this country are Remainers. Go figure.

Peregrina · 01/01/2021 21:38

But some of the richest people who made loads of money like Rees-Mogg were high profile Leavers.

Those who stood to profit from Brexit voted leave.

Jim Ratcliffe
James Dyson
Rupert Murdoch
Viscount Rothermere

Those who were already profiting voted Remain.

Hitchen’s razor.

Again.

DansMaPoche · 01/01/2021 21:50

I'd go and ask in the Brexit Arms, they seem to know what they want and expect from Brexit and whether they've got what they want and expect. (I can't understand them as it seems to consist of "we won, you lost", as far as I can tell. Something about fish and blue passports and regaining sovereignty (which was never lost) and bringing the death penalty back, possibly. But then I'm a very old, tired and skeptical non-Tory Remainer.)

Really? Gosh, I never would have guessed.

Goodbye2020Hello2021 · 01/01/2021 21:51

Of course they did!
They didn’t need Brexit to happen to make more money and understood what a fking stupid idea it all was.

RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 01/01/2021 21:56

whilst they soak up double time payments on various forms of employment in the process

Whats double time payment?

Overtime or something?

TerryHearn · 01/01/2021 21:59

Do you want any more multi-millionaire remainers? There is a very long list.

Goodbye2020Hello2021 · 01/01/2021 22:04

Eh? Where did you think the campaign groups (on both sides) got their money?
From people with money obviously.

Vested interests from Remainers. To keep the EU gravy train going. Soak up the economic benefits of free movement for big businesses and sod anyone else.
jasjas1973 · 01/01/2021 22:11

Jim Ratcliff trumps them all, net worth 18 billion....
Dyson, 7 billion....

Remainers are as poor as church mice.

Leave voters manipulated by the super rich.

Goodbye2020Hello2021 · 01/01/2021 22:12

Vested interests from Remainers
Those who donated to the leave campaign had no vested interests? 😂🤭 Don’t be silly.

DoubleTweenQueen · 01/01/2021 22:12

All sides of any issue usually have vested interests, whether personal or commercial or otherwise.

HeyHeyImABeLeaver · 01/01/2021 22:12

I’ll add another one Terry George Soros $8.3bn (£0.5m) 😁
