    Bad change is bad. Good change is good. Which type of change will Brexit bring?
    If you are a well educated, highly skilled individual, hard Brexit is unlikely to affect you fundamentally.
    If not, it will, negatively.
    Hard Brexit now!

      Regardless of the type of change, some people live their lives in fear of it. You can see that in the tone of some of the posters.

        Some people live in fear and hatred of all things foreign. Totally uninterested in whether it is good or not, if it is foreign it must be bad. You can tell by the tone of their posts and the way they like to jump in and derail discussions that might challenge their hatred.

            The issue is that "real" Brexit a.k.a. "hard" Brexit (out of the SM and CU) will most likely make "making a living" harder for many people.
            So will a genuine "hard" Brexit happen? It's unlikely. A fudge like EFTA or similar is the most likely outcome.
            Ability to make a living now appears to be the success criterion. They should have worked that into a poster.

              some people think they know better despite people suggesting caution. The current situation is a direct result of this.

              1. No vote on the common market becoming an EU super state.
              2. No vote on massive uncontrolled immigration.
              3. No say on integration or the lack of it.
              4. No say on soft Jail sentences.

              Our masters and the liberal loonies closed the door on those discussions, Brexit blew the door open. You are still trying to close it by yelling at anyone standing on the other side not discussing how we fix it.

                1. Fair enough

                2. The so called "mass uncontrolled immigration" is the fault of Blair, Brown and Cameron for not implementing the 2004 directive unlike every other EEA, EFTA and EU country.

                3. Nothing to do with the EU

                4. Nothing to do with the EU. (The same directive as 1 allows you to chuck out foreign criminals. )

                  I didn't say it was all the EU's fault, just that its the reason we are in the current situation.

                  Unfortunately Brussels stupidity & duplicity isn't the only problem in the UK.

                    You can be as clever as you like but if you have anything wrong with you, you'll lose even more hard-earned income going private because you can kiss good bye to getting treatment on the NHS within 11 months.

                    Last week a motorbike shop in the next town to me was broken into at around 5 am. The thieves nicked one bike and then came back but were confronted by one of the staff. So they smashed his face in. Fortunately the police arrived on the scene. 50 minutes later. There's a big police station two minutes walk away but of course it was empty and the coppers had to drive from the county headquarters twenty miles away.

                    Further economic distress will not be confined to the unwashed - we'll also all feel it as things crumble around us.
