Current Affairs EU In or Out

I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for the likes of you and others who come from a trade union/Labour background. You are being used as pawns by the right wing in the UK in an attempt to achieve their dream of British supremacy in the world again, but after Brexit your views and aspirations will be discarded by them. It is sad that you are being used in this way and its about time you woke up to what is happening before it is too late.

17.4 million of us ..... you would need a big hankie.....

yea, it's a lot like working class blue collar Americans voting Republican.
The Republicans whip up a nationalist/patriotic fever and use anti immigrant sentiment to convince these people to vote against their own interests. Leave took a leaf out of the GOP playbook.

It's really quite noticeable who has dealings with the EU and who doesn't in this thread.

It’s also quite noticeable those who have traded around the world and those who haven’t.....

Er, it hasn't gone quiet. It is precisely why the EU has warned that no-deal will result in a hard border in Ireland. They are being honest about the reality of a no-deal and WTO rules.

My point was not about the border, it was in relation to the U.K. being able to use WTO rules etc... please keep up....

The scaremongering has become the norm at the moment. When we leave, people will wonder what the fuss was about....

About 15 countries last year. You?

Last year no one, I retired. Prior to that I wouldn’t even try to add up, but many times more than 15....

I'm just me, not a multi national arms dealer though Pete. Not really apples with apples.

"So there will be a short-term impact through disruption. There will be a long-term impact through a reduction in the size of our economy.”

Phillip Hammond on a no-deal brexit.

Sounds great. Sign me up.

I think we should have a referendum about leaving the WTO so we can take back control and not have to follow the rules of unelected mandarins like Roberto Azevedo I just want to trade with the world fgs.

"I don't have an answer for that" Imagine listening to someone's advice who thinks wind power is a bad idea.

Something for the older folk on here, the EU have just rolled out a scheme whereby you can have a digital prescription from your GP and use it in any pharmacy in the EU. Of course, you'd probably need to travel outside your village to take advantage of that, but still. Them lucky buggers huh?
