The Brexit Thread

[NarrowBandFtw]

What do you expect to see? What benefits will the average person in the street have?

with the UK free to determine who they do business with and who they allow in their country the ball is now thoroughly in their own government's court

if they play the hand correctly, the average person in the street will have access to jobs they didn't have before, average pay should increase given there's less competition in the labour force, prices in the supermarkets should be dropping for products that are sourced from better suppliers etc etc etc ... and it will take time to see those benefits coming through even if they played the hand correctly

it all depends on how it is played, one thing that has already changed: the average man in the street no longer needs to lay any blame on the EU for any of the UK's woes, that blame now falls squarely on the UK government for the first time in over 40 years

10 years ago, the EU measured 1% of British people’s concerns that would affect their voting.

6 years later it was a majority.

The British people have been played. Pure and simple.

Oh, and the issue about who they let into their county, they have always had the means to control immigration wrt unemployment and welfare benefits, but the government made it an open door policy and chose not to control it.

the EU measured

it would seem the people were indeed played, by the EU

and that same government can now no longer blame the EU for that failure, like they always have in the past

the convenient scapegoat has bolted

Nice shift of the goalposts there....

you can go find my relevant posts from the last 4 years stating the EXACT same thing in this very thread, I haven't shifted anything, you however may kindly stop lying about it though

Nah... It's more fun to say you shift the goalposts....

I did delete the post though as I figured you would claim the above and there is zero point in arguing...

Sorry, that was incredibly clumsy writing. I’m in a passenger seat in a car, I’ll blame the driver talking to me as a distraction.

So...

In a survey before the UK general election in 2010, only 1% said Europe was an issue in deciding who to vote for.

Basically it was never an issue until the EU financial regulations were going to change and rich British people stood to lose money.

Wave a Union Jack around, a little bit of Rule Britannia and bingo. Rich people keep their money.

People in the street? Well, let’s see. But at the moment the only difference I can envisage is having to pay for a visa to go to Spain on holiday.

The benefits remain to be seen. But I’m not optimistic.

fair enough, I would remain very skeptical about any such poll though, the government of the day and media they control were vehemently opposed to anything that threatens the status quo, it would have been in their best interest to present the "public opinion" in that light

Indeed, let's see.

Even though the UK is in the transition period, the UK can now sign officially sign FTAs. Let's see them! USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand...let's go!

The metropolitan leftie bubble still has learnt nothing. The BBC is as corrupt as the SABC.

I really find it difficult to understand you. If you were living in the UK, fair enough. If you were brought up on the UK, fair enough, If you were interested in the whole thing and simply shared an opinion that this is a good thing, fair enough.

But you are a South African, with a British passport thinking about moving to Australia. And yet you are acting like you've won the lotto. When all you are really celebrating, if you think about it, is that moving around the world has just become a bit more of a pain in the butt for you.

You're a strange guy Chris.

I wonder what new freedoms the British public are waking up to today? The only obvious change I can think of will be restriction of movement, and that's not much of a gain in the freedom stakes.

It's truly amazing how the establishment have sold this as a victory for the people.

"Austerity" will be back

This!

"Oh we're in our own now, so of course we need to be oh so careful with the budget by cutting your benefits and reducing taxes for corporations"

Something along those lines
