Real life, individual benefits of Brexit
Discussion
Morning all,
Ten days from now, we will reach the 5th anniversary of the Brexit referendum.
Obviously at the time we were told all about the possible benefits that might happen if we voted for it, but then the actual initial process was completely overshadowed by the arrival of Covid, so I at least have found it really difficult to decide whether or not there have been any significant benefits, so I'd be really interested to hear examples of people actually directly benefiting from Brexit?
I don't think anyone disagrees that some people have experienced downsides to Brexit, so please could people not swamp the thread with lots of examples of those and just keep to the tangible benefits?
I know there's hundreds of pages of "Brexit, was it worth is Vol 3", but that's an unreadable river of vitriol from both sides arguing about the latest political rhetoric from one mouthpiece or another.

???Yes, I think Brexit was a terrible mistake, but as I've lived in multiple EU countries, speak multiple EU languages and currently spend more of my day working with EU nationals than other Brits, I am self-aware enough to realise that I'm very much at one end of the scale. Brexit is never going to be advantageous to me personally, but if I can see plenty of my compatriots reaping tangible personal benefit from it, that makes it easier to accept that overall, the decision maybe made sense.

Thanks for admitting you are creating yet another remainer whinge fest thread.
There's a way of making sure it isn't, all the brexiters pointing out the benefits. There's even a minister of state for brexit opportunities now, a cynic would suggest that if they were readily apparent the ministry wouldn't be needed but hey ho what do I know.roger.mellie said:
