Benefits Of Brexit?

[Playbill]

Can anyone give some illustrations of what benefits Brexit - with and without a deal - the average British citizen will hopefully notice and enjoy when it goes ahead?

[ToraToraTora]

you cannot quantify the benefits in the sorts of terms that the OP is thinking of. Judge gives it good go. The benefits are for the nation as a whole.

Which nation is that, Tora? The UK or Little England?

New Judge: I was asking what tangible benefit the average man in the street will actually enjoy. Will food, fuel and other such everyday factors be lower priced and more available if we are out? Will they be, at least, no more worse off. These are the things the vast majority of the population are concerned with.

Did you conduct a survey, Playbill?

Typical Remainer. Knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing. Brexit isn’t about 'Me, me, me’ - and the sky isn't about to fall. Get a grip!

I would have been better to ask that question about 40 months ago in the run up to the referendum.

Playbill, every day life will actually be harder or poorer quality.

they benefits new judge thinks are benefits, actually make no difference to our lives.

"It would..." not "I would..."

Most citizens know that the economy is important but the nation is more so. And that means a small cost in the economy is a price worth paying to restore the nation. Deliberately trying to steer the discussion towards the costs as if that were the only issue is both disingenuous and shameful. The benefits stated will be those enjoyed by the citizens; it doesn't fool anyone trying to play the innocent and pretend there are none by rejecting all valid answers.

Spath, //every day life will actually be harder or poorer quality.//

You have no reason to say that. Stop scaremongering.

Typical brexeteer. Pretending to know something about the unknown and slating remainers to make their ideologies seem some what superior. Get a grip!

[Old_Geezer]

By the way, I'm sure 11:32 should be your BA. It sums up the raison d'etre for this thread.

[naomi24]

spath, unlike you, I haven't pretended to know something about the unknown. The sky is not about to fall. It really isn't.

[Bobbisox1]

Not being ruled by a bunch of bureaucrats in another country who overrule our own judiciary system often

[spathiphyllum]

"It really isn't"

You also said there would be no hold ups on the calais - dover but there already has been, so is your word really word believing? No.. you have no insight that any other regular public member does. What's going on at the moment is uncertainty.

[spathiphyllum]

I'd rather me a Remoaner than a Brectum

[Playbill]

I merly asked what benefits, tangible factors, we could hope for by leaving. Yellowhammer showed the vast many negative aspects, the sort of things that will effect the majority. So I wondered if there were some positive factors that we could hope for to balance that report.

[Spicerack]

Backtracking already, lol.
At least stick to your elitist guns.

Jamie Oliver and his fellow left wing luvvies promised to depart these shores.I believe Master Oliver actually said he would leave these shores if Mr Johnson became P.M. as well. Wow a double whammy.

//Will food, fuel and other such everyday factors be lower priced and more available if we are out? Will they be, at least, no more worse off. These are the things the vast majority of the population are concerned with.//

I don’t think the vast majority of the population are solely concerned with that and if they are they should take a broader view. But to take a tiny example, the EU recently increased its tariff on imported oranges from 3.2% to 16%. This was at the request of Spain which has a relatively small orange growing industry. The result of this is that the tariff on oranges from outside the EU (that is, all oranges other than Spanish ones) which are bought by the vast majority of people who buy oranges in the UK (and who are probably among the “vast majority” you speak of who are concerned about such things) has increased five-fold. This is to protect a small industry which is not in the UK and in which the UK has no direct interest. There are countless such examples – rice is another because there is a very small rice growing industry in Greece and Bulgaria and tariffs on imported rice have recently increased for a similar reason. I quote just one for explanation.

Nobody knows how the prices of food and other items will change after Brexit. The crucial factor is that the economy will be under the control of the UK government and it will be able to act unilaterally without needing to consider the requirements of 27 other nations.

//You also said there would be no hold ups on the calais - dover but there already has been,..//

Has there? Perhaps you could explain them to us and, most importantly, explain how they arose because of Brexit.

//..queues at foreign airports…//

The worst queues I suffer at foreign airports are at those within the EU. When I travel further afield things are far less frantic.
