Current Affairs EU In or Out

What's the gain in running the country less effectively?

Long term gain while the EU self destructs, I'm hoping they accelerate turkeys membership

That would be Turkey's voting for Christmas, then?
Of course, that is not going to happen.

Still not seeing the gain. Why are we slashing budgets when we have an extra 350m a week to spend?

Why on earth would they do that?

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Rather a leap. I'm neither suggesting that I'm putting my lot in with them nor am I suggesting we 'get on with it'. I'm suggesting that continuing to beat the drum about referendum is a lost cause and focusing your attention on that is a bit futile.

Who is beating the drum for another referendum?

To be honest, if I don't go to Tesco this week, they're super gutted as they sell way more to me than I sell to them. They're practically begging for me to come back.

Brilliant.

Yes it is that simple yet the doom and gloom remainers always tried to peddle the vision that we are somehow cap in hand bound to the EU, just wait and see how the EU caves, there will be tariff free trade for absolute certain, it's in their best interest to do so.

You really don't get it. Did you do % in school? Yes in absolute terms there might be a trade imbalance but in relative terms the UK is far more dependent than vice versa.

There is no way the EU can, or will, give the UK a deal anywhere near as good as it has now.

But that's fine cos Johnson is going to hammer the US, Japan and China for brilliant deals isn't he?! Cos absolutely he has a stronger negotiating hand than the EU did when it organised the current trade deals? Unless of course he will sacrifice standard and human rights to get something to boast about?

I'm still confused as to why the major banks haven't left the country after the 2016 result, they have overstayed there welcome by 4 years surely.

Just watched a bit of the Beeb @ 1 news.

Should be most interesting in the forthcoming months given what Boris the Spider and Barnier the Mouth have said today!

I form the impression that Barnier is saying the EU will still be telling us what to do, while Boris is saying the exact opposite.

Did anyone else see it? If so, what say you?

You make statement

I question statement

You back statement up with non-sequitur.

I'm not sure this is how debate works.

I wonder if the EU might want to make it less attractive for any of the other 27 nations to think about leaving? If it all goes wrong, we can do a deal with Canada and buy our French Brie duty free from them. Piece of cake.

5th biggest economy in the world, a massive customer for European businesses, the 1st, 2nd or 3rd biggest export market to the vast majority of those EU companies.

"In 2016, Britain was the largest single export market for German manufacturers, who sold 800,000 new cars there, or 20 percent of their overall global exports."

The deal they have to do with us will be more favourable to us than any deals the EU have done before with other nations.

I thought house prices were going to "fall off the cliff".
Thousands of job losses?
We won't be able to go on holiday
Medicine shortages
Mouldy rat infested fruit

Project fear of course

Or we'll tell middle managers to stop buying Audis as status symbols?

It took about five years for the UK to settle down when we joined in 1973 Bruce where you around then?

Finally, a Brexit benefit.

The EU will make sure there is tariff free trade, brexit is going to be the making of us.

Now you see, what you've done there is followed up a non-sequitur with a further five non-sequiturs. Which indicates either you have ADD or weren't able to explain your first point.

Or it could just be that you enjoy making lists or things I didn't say.

Christ. Posters on here talking about trade deals and multi-national negotiations like they have a clue what they’re talking about. ‘Playing hardball’ indeed lol Get more sense by getting a chimp to post comments on the Tom Davies thread
