A Fellow Aber Thinks Brexit Has Been A Success…

[Gromit]

Where I live voted Brexit, but I am not hearing hearing happy people.

The voters are disappointed, can't see any good results, and a lot of travel inconveniences.

Maybe I am just TROB.

anyone out therethink Brexit has been a rip roaring success ?

[Hymie]

That lefty 5C organisation (the Bank of England) says Brexit has cost every household in the UK £1,000.

To those who think Brexit has made no difference, please send me £1,000 (you know it will make no difference to your household).

So whatever you got form Brexit, for it to have been a success, it must be worth £1,000 per household.  And don’t forget that cost is increasing as time goes on.

So if you think Brexit has gained you nothing – you’ve just thrown £1,000 away.

Gromit: we run our own country that was the aim, 100% success. When will you 5C types graps that?

Hymie, that's what's called knowing the price of everything ... and the value of nothing.

The make up of the vote across the country is quite interesting, see here:

London overwhelmingly voted remain for example

You're right, £1000 is a drop in the ocean to me.

Maybe you should get a better job or try a bit of overtime, Hymie.

Hymie has a 1000 posts on this and yet seems incapabale of seeing other dimensions. The sad thing of course that no one knows what the economic effects have been so far because they are obscured by the much larger effect of multiple world crises. 5C types love to ignore that.

If some asked me to pay £10k to leave the EUSSR I would have, a mere bag? bargain (if it's true)

Me too.

[Hymie]

To anyone under 20, Brexit will cost them many times £10k over their lifetime – and they never got a vote.

This complete and utter shambles of Brexit that has thrown the UK into chaos   was thought up by Cameron the Con  but the result was not what he expected and Backfired on him .. then along came Johnson another Con who originally was a remainer saw his chance ,jumped on the band waggon, changed from a remainer to  leaver and Brexit was Born Then Boris Conned the public into voting him into power with the Slogan "Let's get Brexit Done " Which was thought up by Dominc Cummings.And now seven years on Britain is waking up and smelling the coffee and realising what a disaster Brexit is.

Others either didn't vote because they couldn't be bothered to and others because they couldn't  because they choose to live in different country but it doesn't stop them moaning on here.

Best answer in my opinion from Togo.  Short term results were always going to be dicey.  No regrets from me at all.

Posts in this thread show just how mad some Brexiteers are.

If you said to someone, if you join this club you will be 10s of thousands of pounds better off over your lifetime, any person with more than a few working brain cells would say ‘sign me up’, but not the Brexiteers.

[ToraToraTora]

Is money all you care about hymie?

[gulliver1]

What I want to know is why is the UKs NHS  in it's worst state ever When for the last 5 years £350 million a week raked back from the EU has been pumped back into the NHS . That's a lot of money per week over 5 years. Or has this money gone elsewhere.???

[Hymie]

Well it brings a pleasant sort of misery – and I suspect those struggling to pay their rent/mortgage, or are having to resort to food-banks to feed themselves, or cannot afford to heat their home, would be grateful for an extra £1,000.

[naomi24]

So they're not just stupid, or idiots, they're mad too now Hymie?   Poor you.  You're surrounded by them.  ;o)

Birds of a feather, Naomi.
