I'd miss all the stupid, pointless, unnecessary Brexit threads, it's done, the UK won't be going back into the EU as it is, get over it, move on.

I've lived under every prime minister from Churchill to Johnson.

I've been under the rule of Conservative and Labour.

I've never had the opportunity to vote for any of them and don't much care,anyway.

I'll be 67 next month and I have lived my life regardless and largely unaffected by these people. Being in the EU,or not being in the EU hasn't changed what I do,nor what I want to do.

Being able to buy things by the firkin, gill and troy ounce and having my speedometer measure in leagues/fortnight (with a crown on), oh and bendy bananas. :(

The disproportionate clout enjoyed by a collection of god-bothering Norn bigots.

I really don't think we have seen any benefit yet. I always expected the benefits to start 10 years down the track, Covid has probably pushed that back anther 3-5 year, so ask me again in about 2035. You may need to shout, I might be dead by then.

I'd call a Covid vaccine a benefit, especially back when it was a panic and the EU was threatenng to rip up the Brexit agreement to get its hands on some.
Sanctions on Russia seem to go more smoothly without being in the EU.
Employment opportunities seem good but that may be down to Covid or Blairs delayed tax changes making the UK less desirable to work in.
And of course even if it's only small we still have a light at the end of the immigrant tunnel, we just need to remove a couple more EU shackles.

Don't you live in France ?

One benefit of Brexit will be not having to live under an United Europe lead by President Macron and his Putinophile mate Scholz

I was going to ask you the same.
I was surprised you didn't just leave it an "employment". That maybe has a seed - the others are laughable.
