Oh, you used to be able to go to the doctors, dentists and vets whatever time you chose before Brexit did you? Pull the other one!
Try to find the "ignore" button.
Or better still, the special 'ignore question' button that JohnD seems to have.
As insignificant as putting an X on a ballot paper 8 years ago, it is the motive for and consequences of the act that count. As the Squeaker will find out.
So what
one persons experience is not evidence.
what counts is data and evidence.........and you havent looked for it because you dont want to find the evidence
1) Vets shortage
Brexit
The principal reason why there was such a large drop in the number of vets coming from overseas to work in the UK can be attributed to Brexit.As a result of Brexit, the process for applying to work in the UK has become much more complicated, preventing many European candidates from easily migrating. This has contributed to the huge fall of 68% in qualified EU-based vets moving to the UK between the years 2019-2021.

3) nurses shortage
Researchers found that a reduction of 100 EU nurses per 1,000 staff increased emergency readmission rates for elective patients by 2.2 percent yearly in the three years following the Brexit referendum. This amounts to just under 30,000 readmissions per year, costing the NHS £61.9 million annually
Post-Brexit nurse shortage costs the NHS £61 million per year and increased readmission rates by 2%, according to new study
A reduction in nurses coming in from the European Union as a result of Brexit may have cost the NHS an estimated £61.9 million per year, according to a study from the University of Surrey.

4) shortage of agricultural workers
A 2016 report by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) suggests that in 2015, 20% of the permanent workforce in agriculture and horticulture were EU nationals.
However, leaving the EU brought forward a new immigration policy, which led to the UK losing skilled labour across the board, particularly in the agricultural industry.

5) hospitality
The end of free movement has made it challenging for UK hospitality businesses to recruit skilled workers, and many have reported difficulties in finding suitable replacements for the EU workers who have left since the Brexit referendum. Moreover, the uncertainty surrounding the settlement status of EU nationals already working in the UK has added to the industry’s challenges. As a result, the hospitality sector faces the risk of labour shortages resulting in increased labour costs, which could have detrimental effects on service quality and operational efficiency.

It is evidence of how Brexit has not affected me with regards to those things.
You don't sign off with a 'blup' anymore, how come?
It always reminded me of a leaky tap.
It started to remind people of a leaky tap
But you stopped before you were aware it reminded me of a leaky tap. Why this is?
And staying in the EU wouldn’t have affected you.
You want to believe it is significant because you want to use it against Keir Starmer

Public sector borrowing rose. That was before the ripples from the US banking problem's ripples spread around the world. Our gov had to give relatively small support which wouldn't have been as much of an issue if the previous trend of surplus hadn't already been reversed. It wan't a general problem the way it's painted.
When Darling pulled the banks together to tell them to make provision for X% of bad debt in his excellent way - "and you all agree don't you. No Objections, Good, I'm off. Get on with it, Bye" - some of the voices around the table simply said they were already doing that. HSBC had capital to cover more than double his requirement.
Awful decision, totally botched.
Oh really? But you're getting it wrong.
Just in a general way, or about something I haven't commented on? Ah yes, because you want to be able to say it.
No argument there. But the way it was mishandled is a(n even) greater sin. Selling to foreign countries and/or then not regulating, burying figures from wind power, etc etc. UK gas prices were lower than the EU average until recently. Sector's utterly fubar. Even Truss had measures to try to bring it under control.
Back in magnox reactor days we were ahead in Nuclear power. Now we can't even build our own stations. We should be selling them. Modular Thorium ones, imho.
