Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Bruce Wayne]

He called us 'folks' and he won't be the next us president

I doubt Hillary will think differently. They've invested hugely in TTIP. That's the basket their eggs are in.

I'm not saying people have never lost jobs before. I'm questioning why you would purposefully do it to yourself just to stop immigration, when in reality there is a very high likelihood you will have to allow freedom of movement in trade concessions anyway?

So what you are saying is the 17.4 million people who voted out did it purely for immigration and nothing else.

FTSE has finished higher than it did at closing time last Friday.

Of course it isn't the end of the world

You'd think it was by the way some are acting...

The markets have already recovered inside the first day. Of all the main exchanges the FTSE actually fell the least. The mass hysteria from the remain camp, mainly students who haven't experience the real world yet, is way over the top and hugely unnecessary.

Was a little unsure if I'd voted the correct way yesterday, but feel much happier with my decision today.

Hysteria drives sales/website clicks.

Some people here are acting as if this country has never seen recessions, job losses, drops in the FTSE value, house prices falling, and companies going into administration, all in recent years, all whilst being part of the EU.

Nailed for me.

You could argue that the USA is a successful example of what the creation of the Euro was an attempt to replicate.

But they ballsed that right up.

I don't know enough about it mate but I couldn't ever imagine USA entering into a EU style arrangement...

Certainly seems like the most prominent reason being put forward.

No mate, I've literally just quoted that last line from here, word for word.

It's not labour, it's the free movement of people.

That is the Swiss - EU agreement, not what exists now in the EU / EEA.

Surprise surprise. They are professional gamblers, they know what they're doing.

I don't understand it all. What happens now then?

America will trade with the U.K.

Well, some think you should go and climb to a tall building and jump off.

Others think, go the pub and wait for it all to blow over.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

America will trade with the U.K.

Even though they're not in the EU?

I thought they'd marginalise the UK - I've just stockpiled on world maps before they airbrush the UK off it.

Probably nothing very much is the sad reality.

The EU is about to collapse. The minute the common currency was created it was doomed. It was a complete vanity mission by unelected french beaurocrats.

Lots of countries will follow us out. And the more the better so we can create an actual worthwhile trade union between the nation's within Europe who we want to and not countries shoehorned in like Turkey are about to be.

 

[bring the ghost on]

No I'm saying using the word racist makes people look stupid.

You're clearly not reading my posts, I didn't call anyone racist. I did however use phases such as "fear of immigration" and said that immigration played a big part. Surprising you can't see that.
