Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Lol what a load of tosh especially the £208 million funding for N I which costs us more by being in the EU than if we just pull out and fund it ourselves.

We won't be in the customs union or single market and will be lucky to get any kind of deal in the first instance with the idiots running the EU so they can go stuff their ECJ where the sun don't shine.

Ready to protect England from invasion by immigrants after Brexit?

Why only a hard Brexit will do

The Gravy Train pulls in and stops if hard brexit is implemented. No wonder the usual suspects are screaming.

Good article Max.

Guy who wrote it gave an interview Friday on BBC Wales news and talked a lot of sense.

Also heard that only 20% by value of our trade with the EU is actual goods with the rest being service related so hardly the end of the world if we leave the customs union as well as the single market.

Right Dil here's your chance to help us understand some of the waffle in Max's link, I have given you just three... off you go.


1) A hard Brexit will reduce poverty and inequality


Go on then explain in a few sentences in "your" view how exactly.


2) A Soft Brexit or an EEA option would be the worst of all worlds


Go on then explain in a few sentences in "your" own view how exactly.


3) Brexit "should" bring a boost of £40 a week to every household


Go on then explain in a few sentences in "your" view how exactly.

Stan,

Don't worry we have a competent government and a leader many would swap for Trump.

Why would Dil have to spell it out to you Stan ? you and Fred never answer a question .
My advice to you is read it again and try to work it out for yourselves ,that's if you can .

How silly of me Fred to forget that...I feel really reassured now though knowing that -):

Who rang your bell JJ........get back in your box.

Dilbert,

13% of UK GDP comes from the financial services sector, and the UK is a net exporter of financial services to the EU. Most importantly, London clears all euro transactions which account for around 40% of all FX trade.

Aren't you worried that the EU might try to take control of that to, say, Frankfurt?

And yes, you're right, the UK are a net importer of actual goods. So, a hard Brexit and an application of WTO rules will mean more expensive Mercs, Beemers, Porsches and Audis for the Brits.

Is that what you voted for?

There was nothing wrong with the EEC but it warped into the EU which is a multiheaded monster. If German cars being more expensive is a price to pay for getting out of the EU, so be it. I don't buy them anyway. I prefer my Lexus. The new Volvos are a good alternative.

I haven't got all day so come on Dil get back on this board answer my questions.

Are you still on the bridge Stan? Better get under it, looks like rain..

OK Dil out for a bit so some time for you to "consider your position'...Behave yourself IT.

iturama,

Aren't Volvos made in Sweden which, last time I looked, was still in the EU?

So a hard Brexit would make them more expensive too. :o)

Hard brexit will make all continental cars more expensive...good good, buy British or American, Chinese, Japanese, the list goes on.

Years ago the likes of Kia / Hyundai etc were a joke but not now , these cars have superb build quality ,if the EU want to punish us i am quite happy to not buy a German car which i have for at least the last 20 years .

buy british ...... buy a bentley :-)

Too chavy for me now days .
