Current Affairs EU In or Out

[JimmyJeffers]

Well, after several years of debate and investigation, I have finally concluded that all leave voters (cept @Joey66 ) are completely off their rockers and probably juiced up to the eyeballs on painkillers.

Once we leave EU we can rebuild our fishing fleet which will have a positive impact on jobs, communities, the economy etc, so please don't knock a good thing.

10,000 people are employed as fishermen so it's perhaps not a great idea for the industry to drive economic policy.

Another lie. You really should just give up and go to the Souk.

Was there earlier today. Bought some nice gold jewellery for the wife. Has or has not the NHS received £1.8 billion that it wasn't expecting. Take your momentum blinkers off for a minute and answer honestly.

Whilst a bit cruel, I just find it amazing that, I assume, intelligent folk, have been so suckered into their positions that they cannot see the truth before their eyes.

And in 1972 a hell of a lot more were employed. Thank you for highlighting how EU has destroyed the UK fishing industry. It is high time it was rebuilt.

Oh lordy, if ONLY you knew! The NHS has not been given ANY new money. It was all ready earmarked.

In 1972 about 4 people were employed in the mobile phone industry in the UK. According to my research/guess.

So thank you to the EU for Vodafone employing tons in Newbury. Kicks both ways.

Rubbish. That was an evolving industry and all nations saw employment in that sector rise exponentially. EU has destroyed what should still be a thriving UK industry.

Meh, they’ve just gotten a bit xenophobic that’s all. Been raised with ideas of plucky Britain saving the day whilst being force fed a daily diet of right wing propaganda.
All of a sudden, middle aged/ elderly, well off people are experts on the steel industry immigration and Albanian drug gangs FFS.

The Britain you are pining for has gone and won't be coming back, even through the catastrophe of a No Deal Brexit.

The North West will see a -12% hit to its economy according to the Government's own projections.

How? Bearing in mind that for 40 plus years the UK Government has been complicit in every major decision the EU has taken.

But now, free of them, you are telling me with a straight face, that a UK government gives a flying one about a few thousand folk in random coastal towns?

But that is the point isn't it. Your 'few thousand folk in random coastal towns' were once a thriving and massive UK industry that has been destroyed by EU. Once out of EU the industry can be rebuilt. The expertise is there, the market is there and the money to support it is there. Why are you so frightened of such a good thing happening?

Hammond's figures supported by a Remain civil service, maybe!

Well you are making the cosmic leap that a UK Government will lob ££££ into what is pretty much not more than a cottage industry. Please forgive my naivety that that wont happen.

He was trying and failing to put Bruce in his plaice.
