Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Librarian]

Likewise the land of milk and honey that leavers claim.

Does the fact that the vote was almost 50/50 not tell anyone anything?

It’s all hysteria, the Bank of England, the IMF, the OECD, the European Central Bank, the Fed, virtually all economists everywhere

Bunch of piiss the bed hacks

Junker is lobbying as we speak, it will be granted alright via a bit of grandstanding and sending the U.K. to the bold step.

You can just see the EU wagging there fingers at us and saying "you naughty, naughty United Kingdom, okay, we'll give you an extension, but there will be no pudding tonight for you!"

They've got us by the balls.

 

[Frang]

They’ve just voted for it. And they’ve voted against leaving with no deal. There’s the evidence. The EU will agree to an extension unless May takes the piss.

You reckon lad

They really are.

They are wrong more than they are right

As I've said I don't think it will be better..in the short.. This is a long game

But who knows

No ones got a crystal ball regards any of this

All these forecasts and projections ate continuously proven wrong!

No amount of scaremongering wil change my mind

Out of interest how long do you believe a long game will be? I’m not having a dig here, just interested to know

I know mate, project fear. Tyler Durden was right

Your expecting little old me to start putting timescales on this!??!!

Depends how much of a kick up our own ass we give ourselves.

We have good relationships all over the world and we are highly respected. We are not a Greece or Italy who constantly need propping up.

Do you choose not to read up on this stuff or just ignore it? Regardless of the form of Brexit, we will struggle in the short term and very likely the long term. We won’t have trade agreements in place if we leave with no deal. So tariffs, customs delays etc etc drive up price and lower supply.

If we take May’s deal then it won’t be as bad as that but we’re not taking control of anything as we will still have to adhere to EU regs to trade with them. So having a much worse trade deal with one of our biggest trade partners. We then have to renegotiate trade deals with everyone else. But they will be easy right?

Oh, and we’d be potentially screwing Northern Ireland and Ireland. But no one really cares about do they as long as we have our sovereignty and f****** blue passports.

Add that Car manufacturers have already said they'd leave too causing thousands of job losses.

Also the government put out their proposal for tariffs on goods. And surprise surprise... everything goes up in price.

And basic economics is that in order to lure business back, incentives will be given. The idea that we have already the lowest corporation tax in Europe will get lower for an example.

Which leads to wage growth which has been stagnant in the UK for a decade. Will that change? Why would it when business is squeezing as much as they can for as little as they can.

People say other countries have prospered outside the EU like Switzerland for eg. They have. But they also pay £10k more per average salary than the UK which links in with living costs.

Overall one hand feeds the other. You need hands first.

Well I would hope someone who has such strong opinions on leaving would have some vague idea on how long it will be until the UK is back on its feet again.

For example, if I thought there was a chance the country would be in a terrible state for maybe 10 years, I don’t think I’d back that.

 

[summerisle]

I wouldn’t worry about it, basically the UK parliament voted to do nothing and basically extend doing nothing.

It’s like watching back to the future, I swear this week happened already back a few ago.

2 years tops.

And it won't even get that bad.

Well exactly. What do the experts know eh?

Good God......

Think you need to grow a pair. That's scare mongering at its finest! Lots of countries survive and prosper without being part of the EU.

Explain to me again ... How will our economy tank? Why will insulin be in short supply? Will they stop producing it? Why will we have difficulty exporting things?

I have a pair thanks I’ve fathered two children.

Insulin will be in short supply because industry bods and doctors have said so.

Bet they can't wait to vote for that! Ha.

Quite ironic the remained are now banking on the EU thinking we are that important...
