The main benefit, as far as I'm concerned, was the freedom of movement. That didn't actually cost us anything. Quite the opposite - the exodus of EU migrants has left a hole in the workforce, pushing prices up for everyone. 

 

And it's in the news that the year to June 2022 saw the highest ever recorded net migration number for the UK. I know that Ukraine and Hong Kong were factors, but this notion of Brexit being a route to 'taking back control of our borders' is a fallacy.

Pushing up what prices exactly? Please don’t say fresh produce 😂

All I'm asking is what have been the benefits or what are the benefits going to be? All it has really done is push the uk farther away from northern ireland. I haven't seen any real world benefits yet 

Brexit has been so hamstrung from within the U.K. and with the EU that the success it could have been has been severely hampered. 
 

But again, with Norway and Switzerland both being extremely wealthy countries that have a far lower rate of inflation that within the EU and the U.K. there is no real reason why a country within Europe must be in the EU. I really don’t get the Stockholm Syndrome mentality that we absolutely have to be in the EU to prosper independently when clearly we do not. By all

accounts both countries should be on their knees for refusing to submit to the will of the unelected EU, but they’re not. If the Political Class put the U.K. before their Trough Dipping and open their eyes to the reality that we’re out of the EU and we’re not going back then perhaps the U.K. can make Brexit the success we see in the countries mentioned previously.
 

There has been many success stories since Brexit, I know because I’ve been one of those posting up links about it. It’s just ignored by the usual suspects who are die hard Remoaners. Who then ask “what have been the benefits of leaving the EU?”. It’s all been posted before, so if you’re genuinely interested have a troll through the pages.

Well there is that, but another example would be construction workers. 

I remember my brother saying that they had to dramatically up the wages of construction workers on their engineering site just to keep them as the exodus of European builders meant there was a serious shortfall on the housing developments.

 

Brickies weren't exactly on minimum wage before hand!

But I'm not talking about those countries you have mentioned I'm talking about the United Kingdom and how we've been better off after Brexit, as i say to me it's irrelevant whether we are in or out i just want to know what have been the positives 

Shhh, they don't like that question. They'd rather answer the question about how it could be better if it had been done differently.
