Benefits Of Brexit?
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?

Well Playbill I’ve been reliably informed by some pretty knowledgable ABers that we’ll still be able to buy decent lightbulbs (you, know the ones which burn up resources much quicker than the energy saving alternatives ), weapons grade weed killer and proper paint stripper. I kid you not. These were all examples of the benefits when leave voters were...

//I believe Master Oliver actually said he would leave these shores if Mr Johnson became P.M.//
I haven't seen news of him, "Jools" and their brood packing their bags (and I'm sure we would if it happened). Since his ghastly restaurants have gone belly up there doesn't seem much point in him staying.

spath, //You also said there would be no hold ups on the calais //
No, I didn't.
//No.. you have no insight that any other regular public member does.//
Absolutely right. Unlike you who says “every day life will actually be harder or poorer quality”, it’s not a claim I’ve made.
//What's going on at the moment is uncertainty.//
Right again – so stop making ridiculous claims for which you have no evidence whatsoever.

I kid you not. These were all examples of the benefits when leave voters were pressed for practical examples.

Sorry for not keeping up with all the responses. I do have other things to do - like trying to earn a living.
New Judges orange price news is interesting. But I think the fall in the value of the pound also results in us paying more for ANY products from other countries. Yes, the lower pound will help exporters, but will this help shoppers?

You cannot take any single aspect of the economy and suggest that the economy as a whole is struggling. The reduction in the Pound's exchange rate was overdue anyway. One thing to bear in mind is that had the UK adopted the euro the single currency would have been unlikely to have reacted in the same way to the referendum result. You may think that makes a sound case for adopting the euro. You should think again and whilst you're thinking have a look at the disastrous effect that the inability to control a nation's currency and interest rates has had on Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy.

We can all (hopefully) grow our own food in allotments and enjoy the Dunkirk spirit so far denied to our generation.
We won't have to worry about trying to learn to spell difficult Eastern European names anymore- within a generation everyone could be called Smith, Jones, Harris and Briggs again- good old easy to spell names like that.
English plumbers and their Sunday rates will once again reign supreme. Hoorah!
We can have natty proper British blue passports like in the good old days ( Made in France and Holland)
All of the long term sick will die from medicine shortages thus making Britain one of the most healthy countries in the world (eventually).
How many more did you want? :/
