Current Affairs EU In or Out

Probably do-gooding lefty lawyers getting in the way of the government or something.

Certainly wasn’t do-gooding lefty supporters on here, with notable exceptions……

Imagine voting for Brexit and the Tories, knowing that your votes are the reason your family, your friends and everybody else's family is suffering due to the votes you made.

I dont know how those people sleep at night.

They sleep in the day mate, in coffins.

CPTPP is not a replacement for trade with the EU it is in addition to our trade with European countries…..

Mate, come on. You're not blind - our idiot ruling party are parroting it as some kind of major coup.

Which is seriously questionable.

Be mad if they could take the case to a high level court...

We had a big seat in respect of payments into the EU. France and Germany always got whatever they wanted, look at the latest German requirement over the combustion engines and the green fiasco. We still work with the EU even though arseholes such as France do their level best to piss us off. We still trade with them. But now we are becoming partners, not needing a common currency, nor a common rule book, nor a common court/flag/anthem, nor having laws imposed on us that we neither need nor want, with countries who are growing faster than the sclerotic EU, while maintaining our ability to do trade deals with whoever we want. China is desperate to join CPTPP, the USA once it gets over Trumps stupid decision to leave, will rejoin and we will be able to sell services and products in a massive and growing market that will be 2x or 3x the size of the EU. Without paying a penny in……

Wow, well as long as proper Beer isn’t on the list it’s not all bad……Peroni ffs…..

It is questionable in that economically it makes little difference at the moment, geopolitically it is probably a big deal, and ultimately puts us in the right area for future growth…just my view…..

I mean peroni isn’t bad , it should be German really but at least it’s not carling

Peroni isn't beer,it's a form of eurofizz.

Geopolitically it is probably more important. But it wasn't like we didn't have relationships there anyway. It seems like a large sacrifice for what looks to me to be a route to lowering standards slowly but surely, especiallyon imports (food really worries me). Always one of worries about leaving the EU - the turds in charge would merrily let this happen. Not saying EU standards are perfect, but it's always a race to the bottom. Take away the regulation or replace it with something lighter...

I know you keep saying there's a 6 month escape clause, but that's got to be triggered. I don't think they would barring a huge scandal and by then it would probably be too late.

I'm not sure geopolitically it's that important either as China isn't in it. Instead it's a bunch of second tier nations who generally catch a cold every time China or America sneezes. Because it's not a political union, it also doesn't have the regulatory clout that Europe has.

We're right at home! Strength in numbers etc.

I'm not sure that's what Pete meant, like
