Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Bruce Wayne]

They must have a large meat export industry?

In terms of overall exports, no. The top 5 exports are all natural resources, and they account for something like 70% of all exports.

All that seems left is some of the benefits of leaving to become apparent. That would be a decent enough start point. I mean it's been 4 years since the vote, we officially left at the start of this year, and I'm not sure even you could name a single benefit yet.

We no longer have to follow EU law and if we don’t like the laws our government produce we can just vote them out. We could not vote out the EU commission, any of its Presidents nor it’s Parliament. We can do trade deals with whoever we wish, on terms that suit both parties and not have to compromise with an additional 27 countries. I could go on but we have covered this many many times....

Metaphor is lost on you, isnt it?

As facts are lost on you....

Very funny, yet as usual adding no value....

And the end result of all of that is we will be poorer.

Did you notice that this week a lamb (ram) sold for £365,000......

Prove it.....

 

[Brennan]

Prove it.....

No Pete. The onus is on those who supported leave to prove it is beneficial at this point.

Everything you said above about the political constraints being lifted is meaningless if it doesn’t actually improve the lives of the citizens of the UK.

 

[Hickson9]

Prove it.....

Time will prove it.

I'll personally be sound though. It'll have very limit impact on my life, aside from making going to Europe a bit more irritating.

I’m pleased, so you won’t be poorer as you just suggested we would be....

We have nothing to prove. Life has moved on in a myriad of ways, COVID is changing the U.K. and the EU, we now have to work out how to grow the economy again. The EU will have its own problems but at least we will not be subsidising them. We will rebuild our economy faster than the EU sorts out theirs.....

 

[Hickson9]

I’m pleased, so you won’t be poorer as you just suggested we would be....

Yeah, I personally won't be. At least not in any noticeable way.

A lot of people will be however and collectively we will be a poorer country.

Nope, what was it?

How can you seriously believe that
