How bad will the UK be after Brexit?

re14796

I have no doubt that banks will leave the UK. The EU now are saying if airlines want to fly in Europe they need to have a base in the Europe. Will the UK still be a good place to live after brexit? Will there be jobs?

What has the UK got to bargain with?

*~Zephyr~*

No. It will be terrible.

There will be no banks so you'll have to keep your money in a coffee can at the back of the pantry.

No airlines will fly into our airports so the supermarkets will be empty and we'll all have to grow our own food. But that's ok because the airports won't be needed anymore so we can just turn the runways over and plant more wheat.

All of a sudden, no one will need anything doing ever again. There will be no need for plumbers, sparkies or carpenters. No one will need gas or electric or telephones. Nothing will break down and need repairing ever again, so there will be no jobs, at all, ever.


We will all knock down our houses and live in mud huts instead.

OR...

It will be a total utopian dream.

Everyone from the EU states will have to go home immediately, leaving all those lovely jobs free for all those xenophobes who have banged on about the "bl00dy foreigners taking our jobs" for years to do instead so we will have full employment.

We will be a tax haven so all those lovely tax-dodging lefty 'Celebrities' will be making their homes here and the Kardhasians will become your next-door neighbour. Won't that be nice?

To be honest, I can't be !!!!!d speculating. It will be what it will be - I'm not about to emigrate because of the Daily Mail's view on anything and we really won't have any idea of what the deal will entail until Divorce Proceedings have actually started, so why worry?

Ah! the Y2K bug, wonderful beastie, it made me a lot of money. I worked in IT for one of the major banks at the time and they insisted on having staff on site at every location with servers or other major infrastructure, in case anything went wrong. We did 12 hour shifts over the whole of the period and were paid silly amounts for reading, playing cards and / or sleeping.

You could have easily headed your post 'How Good will the UK be after Brexit'


There are 2 sides to every story.


I am Self employed and, Anecdotally, I have never been so busy in 14 years of running my own business.

Why are you worrying about it now, no1 knows what will happen. Just carry on as you are.

There will be plagues of locusts, crops will fail, the Thames will burst its banks and London will be under 10 metres of water, etc. etc. etc.

Doubt it will be much different, we survived the global banking crisis. People generally like to do business, we're a first world country, etc.

Life goes on and finds a way....

All electrical appliances will refuse to work especially the vacuum cleaners that had smaller motors fitted after the EU ban. Water levels will rise, price of fish and other sealife will increase in price meaning restaurants, chippys etc will put prices up to cover the cost of the fish.

It won't be much different. We'll just be a bit poorer.

Remember that much of the impact of Brexit has already been felt through the pound crashing by 15%. Meaning that anything priced in overseas currency (such as fuel, technology, computers, fruit etc. etc.) will cost more.

If a deal is not reached the pound will crash further, but I think the current level is a realistic scenario.

A bit poorer, in the sense that the Titanic is a bit underwater.

But hey, racists got to tell the Poles to go home, so good job I guess.
