Can someone give me one benefit of Brexit.

[Tulipsroses]

It's going to be 4 years since we withdrew our membership in European Union. Apart from the passport colour (some people might prefer) can anyone name one positive change which happened since then.

Who has had a pay rise and was it above inflation?

I have. Yes. Maybe read the thread rather than stubbornly refuse to see anything that doesn't fit your narrative.

Is that related to Brexit?

My partner's an electrical fitter and he has changed jobs three times in the last three or four years leapfrogging up the pay scale. He'd been trying for years but the industry was benefitting from cheap labour from abroad and he never got a nibble. He puts that down to Brexit although neither of us would call ourselves Brexiteers in general.

It’s weird.

OP: Demands ONE benefit of Brexit
Posters: Here are a few
OP:

The whole Brexit thing would have gone much better if both sides had acknowledged that there were pros and cons to the other’s position.

You mean the UK right?

And just to add regarding standard of living relating to pay increases he was in a position to pay for my share of our summer holiday and other generous things this year, so yes I'd say his and by association mine and my kids have benefitted to some degree.

Lol, have you seen how many retired British are living in Portugal, Spain, France , Cyprus etc and etc? Using the local healthcare ( most of tgem are better than the NHS) and they don'tbother to learn and speak a word of the local language ...

I thought that was a result of covid?

The only benefit I can think of is that we've all seen Brexit now.

Our children are growing up under its shadow.

In a couple of years we'll rejoin the EU and everyone but the tiny % of fanatics will put it behind us and start rebuilding the damage.

And we won't contemplate doing anything so obviously stupid again in my lifetime.

And preferably for more than one bloke.

I earn more than I did a few years ago but due to mortgage energy and food price rises our situation is worse.

It’s inferred though. On such weasel words many a vote was bought and then betrayed.

the U.K. has been massively destabilised and I don’t see my children benefitting from the relatively comfortable and stable upbringing I enjoyed.

This was disproved. Another myth

Dual market access for NI and the chances of a united Ireland have increased.

How about the fact that the majority of the country wanted to leave and the government finally came through on something?

Has anyone given a true real benefit yet?

What people seem to forget is that in the last 4 years, not only was there Brexit, but a pandemic and a war in Ukraine, all of which have affected the economy in a major way.

The shit show we are all experiencing is not just down to Brexit.

Yes, I did.

We have taken back control of our borders.
We are no longer governed by unelected people who are hugely distant from the rest of us.

It wasn't inferred. If voters can't read and understand each party's mandate correctly, then they shouldn't be voting at all. That's like saying you play the lottery, and expect to win the jackpot, just because it says "Jackpot must be won!".

Petrol price increases, food price increases, electricity price increases, water price increases, destabilised economy...oh yes, because I always see in the news that all these things are blamed for by Brexit. Come on, be serious!

You can't honestly still be blaming all of that on Brexit, and ignore the current world affairs such as War in Ukraine, War in Israel, recovering from the monetary effects of Covid, knockback effects from international elections, immigration etc.

Yes a few have if you read back

Has it? If you look at the rest of the world you’ll see increased destabilisation. The U.K. feels comparatively stable for my dc tbh

100% correct. Really don't see how others don't see it!

Some people have shown themselves to be still in thrall to the oft-repeated lies.

1. The population of the U.K. is 67-68 million.

Only 17 million voted for Brexit.

How is that a majority of British people?

1. Brexit voters seem to have voted for several different Brexits. At one point it was all "Nobody is threatening to leave the single market. That would be mad" and at other points it was "No Deal Go Go WTO!"

At all points Brexit supporters say they know what they voted for. (More cancer causing pesticides and fewer jobs paying over £38,700 for British people so far)

1. Brexit is "done" in that we have left the EU, but it isn't implemented yet. Because it can't be.

The border checks would obviously be so damaging that the government has little choice but to keep kicking that can down the road until after the next EU referendum or until we rejoin the single market and customs union, whichever comes first. It can't be long now.

My children have dual nationality which makes them more attractive employees than lots of other British children.
