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.

Is repeating the same phrases over and over a Brexit benefit @GlobeTrotter2000 ?

@jgw1 I understand that JRM is better off as a result of Brexit, and then moved his business to Ireland. Is that the kind of Brexit benefit we should all be pleased about and toss our caps in the air to celebrate?

I suggest you watch the Bishop Auckland episode of QT aired in September 2018. This point was raised and JRM explained that SCM has offices in many countries around the World. He is a partner of SCM, but not an investment manager.

Also, the SCM office set up in 2018 was the second to be opened in Ireland. The first was in 1993, twenty three years before the 2016 referendum

But the important thing is that JRM is richer because of Brexit and in that we should rejoice and doff our caps to him as our superior.

Yay, more Brexit wins!

We don't want awful polluting companies like airlines operating out of the UK so that is quite a significant Brexit benefit. I am sure @GlobeTrotter2000 will agree.

It is clear that Globetrotter is a red squirrel rather than a grey one

Brilliant!

Do red squirrels not understand the meaning of the word benefit?

Only if its written in Cyrillic
and when the account is handed over at shift change they sometimes forget 😎

Oh dear, there goes another non sequitur. You repeating that people aren't worse off as a whole in Britain doesn't make it true. Are you able to follow that or will you come up with another response that's not connected?

The OP question is:

Can someone give me one benefit of Brexit.

The formal definition of benefit is:

to receive help or an advantage

Some posters have answered and detailed the benefits they have experienced. Maybe start another thread with a different question if people are looking for a list that applies to the entire UK.

However, unless individual posters know what the majority is thinking, how can they answer? Polls that are based on a few thousand people don't help much.

Unfortunately, the benefit of a couple of builders getting a bit more work and being able to charge more is more than destroyed on the other side. Rather more people who want/need building work are now having to pay considerably more, and wait longer, or even not be able to find a builder. And that builder may not be as good, or as fast.

Merely repeating the OP is pretty pointless (I know, you're just trying to derail the thread, it's clearly your MO), as happens with discussions, things move on.

Frankly, your constant non-sequiturs and deflections are showing anyone who has bothered to read this far (rather few I would doubt) exactly how lacking in any kind of serious argument you are.

@GlobeTrotter2000 I am glad you have analysed the OP in such detail.
Any chance you could now answer the question the OP asked?

Polls that are based on a few thousand people don't help much.
Which just shows that your understanding of statistical sampling is poor.

Like many posters on these threads over the years, I am on the YouGov panel
it is statistically rigorous and valid.
Polls of around .003% properly sampled are very very robust

(in the UK if not in Russia)

is the Lebvedev vanity project regarded as news ?
Gosh I was away a long time

@jgw1 Any chance you could now answer the question the OP asked?

OP question was answered by myself and others if you read back through the thread. That others may not agree is their choice, but does not mean the OP was not answered.

@GlobeTrotter2000 since you have answered the OPs question, why have you continued to post then?

@Talkinpeace Polls of around .003% properly sampled are very very robust

So, how do you explain the polls on the link provided by KenDodd? Overall the polls were more in favour of remain, but the final poll of 33.5 million was 52% leave and 48% remain.

That is a wonderful Brexit benefit you have identified there, thank you.

@jgw1 @GlobeTrotter2000 since you have answered the OPs question, why have you continued to post then?

If a poster asks another poster a question it seems reasonable to try and answer.

I remember that threads have a maximum number of 1,000 posts. So, I guess another thread asking a similar question will appear soon as per some of the earlier posts.

It would be nice if you tried that instead of just obfuscating and deflecting...

Alcohol consumption in the UK has been declining for over 20 years. Particularly among younger people.

Reduced attendance in bars may have occurred as people moved to Sky TV. The logic being that if you have paid the subscription you may as well watch as the huge choice almost makes it certain to find something of interest. Bars and restaurants banning smoking may also have contributed.

A pint of Stella Artois (my favourite) costs 95p in Aldi. The same pint costs £6.35 in the London hotels I use, but £3.80 in Wetherspoons.

The comment about Brexit making Europeans feel unwelcome I don’t understand. The French, Dutch and Germans I work alongside in London have never made that connection.

Others landlords being huffed sounds more like jealousy in that Tim Martin has become wealthy by selling at much lower prices. Maybe they should sell beer for the same price as Wetherspoons?

@GlobeTrotter2000 declining alcohol consumption is certainly a Brexit benefit I think we can all support, thank you for sharing that with us.
