19.51 good try but no one is buying that, you’ve had that other name for ages. You have two user names on the go which is against Site Rules.
I have explained this before – imagine you are a sole-trader selling at a market costing you £10/day to sell your goods at that market.
You are doing so well selling at the market, that you make £500 profit each day at the market.
You then decide not to attend the market and spend the £10 saving on your healthcare – only a fool would claim that they have benefited from the above scenario – but that is what Brexiteers are doing.

Ok how has brexit affected ME?
I need a long term stay visa valid for only six months to reside in our cottage in Normandy if I want to stay for more than 90 days in a year. My son can no longer just hop over the channel to do his self-employed job, he has to get visas for every job. Before brexit he did’nt. my daughter sells crafting supplies from her online shop. It is now easier for her to sell to Thailand than to the eu because she needs licenses for every parcel she sends and the recipient has to pay 20% duty at point of entry in any eu country.
There you go, now ignore that…..personal enough for y’all?

Not everything in life is about me, me, me.
Although Brexit has undoubtedly affected me financially with things costing more and inflation being higher, and through my work activities (mostly directly costing my employer); and then, how much money they have to pay me.
Undoubtedly Brexit has negatively impacted the poorer in society to a greater extent, what with the loss of £40 billion in tax revenue – but hey, let’s not care about the poor people.

We are legal residents in Portugal. We were legal before Brexit with Resident and ID cards. We had exchanged our driving licences. We kept our UK passports. The only issue was exchanging the Resident card as the system was not properly set up. We continue with Amazon shopping via a shipping company and do not pay import on items under £150. Done by the delivery company. We fly into the UK and show UK passport at immigration, on thr return we use Portugeuse ID document.

Not a particularly good analogy. You left a bit out. Did the sole trader simply give up trading, or did he take his business to a different market?
//I need a long term stay visa valid for only six months to reside in our cottage in Normandy if I want to stay for more than 90 days in a year.//
Then get one.
//My son can no longer just hop over the channel to do his self-employed job, he has to get visas for every job. Before brexit he did’nt.//
Then he needs to adjust – or confine himself to the UK and Ireland.
//my daughter sells crafting supplies from her online shop. It is now easier for her to sell to Thailand than to the eu because she needs licenses for every parcel she sends and the recipient has to pay 20% duty at point of entry in any eu country.//
Then sell the stuff to Thailand. Surely if it’s easier to do so that’s the way to go – trade with nations that don’t go out of their way to make it awkward.
These are piddling trifles. The idea of Brexit was to change the UK’s direction, not to keep it the same. The idea was to diverge away from an protectionist, over-regulated, shrinking market and seek opportunities elsewhere. What did your son and daughter do to adjust between 2016 and 2021?
//…with things costing more and inflation being higher,//
Tell me how Brexit has caused inflation here, but it hasn’t caused it everywhere else it has occurred. The UK Consumer Price Index for May was 8.7%. There are twelve EU countries with an inflation rate higher than that, some considerably higher. So why do you blame the UK’s lower inflation rate on Brexit, whilst not mentioning those countries – who are still EU members? What’s so special about the UK’s inflation rate that it has been caused by Brexit (apart from your obsession with the topic).
