The eurozone and the EU are two different things though, no?

Not to the man on the street.

What happens to the money we contribute to the EU

You don't know your history.

A union of European nations with Germany at its head was what he was after all along. Oh, that's what we call the EU now...

No need to scaremonger now mate, the referendum is done.

Hmm...interesting.

I'd think the man on the street would think maintaining your currency whilst being a part of a larger collective would be a good thing. A win win if you will.

Thanks Moody's. Word for word

I may be being a bit naive, or cynical, or both, but after watching the fantastic factual movie 'The Big Short' a few months ago, you'll have to forgive me for not taking any notice whatsoever of what ANY credit ratings company says or does

Are the EU trying to scare us in to back tracking by trying to hurry us into triggering article 50 knowing we have no exit plan?

They are just doing what we did with Lukaku, as soon as he said he wanted to leave we wanted him out ASAP, while crying every night knowing that we are left with Niasse/Greece and Poland/Kone.

It's up to us when we trigger article 50 mate, they can't make us do it any quicker, so we do it when we're ready.

Thing is. The biggest issue this country has is not suddenly shifting the power solely to the government but the fact that the people will do nothing about it.

Instead of raising our voices and challenging the establishment we English prefer to sit at home with a cup of tea and moan about it to the 6 of clock news. The minute we as a people stand up and fight back against what goes on the day will come when politics won't be about self interest.

Considering how much money we are meant to be losing due to the referendum, bankers, big business, mps will be the ones who won't be out of pocket. And we are all going to sit around on our hands and do nothing about them..

It's hard to trigger a release from the EU when we don't have a prime minister anymore.....

Sorry for liking your post, but it's the only way of acknowledging it.

Having a large amount of family around Enniskillen, I know from their experiences the impact European funding has had. I only hope things don't get as bad as they used to be

Tensions have certainly been raised but in purely economic terms it will be devastating. Border counties will see a short term boom with a weak pound but a weakening Euro will soon level that out. In the longer term, our Southern economy will hopefully be able to attract investment but Northern stagnation will eventually hamper their full potential. On a lighter note, I recommend The Crow's Nest if you paying Enniskillen a visit

Where was the EU funding for Merseyside in the 1980's? Why was the malaise and deprivation of the 1980's attributed to Margaret Thatcher if the allocation and administration of funds was in the control of the EU?

Genuine question?

Because an area had to be in 'such and such' a deprived state which meant central govt could apply to get EU funds. The Thatcher govt refused to admit that places like Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Hull, Bristol etc. were deprived - as it would be seen as an indictment of her policies - so refused to apply for EU funds.
