Current Affairs EU In or Out

[peteblue]

You claimed that the EU were blocking the UK from making trade deals - 'that were not on the table'. Not true, the UK can trade with any country now as a member of the EU. The UK is not at 'the whims and mercy of another 27 votes' in relation to trade deals. The UK can sell its' products anywhere in the world, as the trade figures show.

'We may lose a bit from the EU but gain far more elsewhere'. Which products are the UK going to sell to which countries that it can't sell now? The 'gain far more elsewhere' doesn't exist and that is not down to the EU or the EU blocking 'free trade' agreements. The UK doesn't sell more to the EU or further afield due to demand. And that is before the UK could possibly lose some of its passporting financial services sector agreement. The vultures in the EU are hovering over the UK financial sector waiting to pick the bones.

A devalued pound can help the UK export more if it is not a major import of raw materials and goods that go into producing the product. Those that import components to make things, the price has risen and made UK products more expensive.

The biggest threat('their pain) to Germany is the US punitive $14 billion fine against Deutsche bank that is designed to bankrupt it and will, if implemented in full, have far reaching financial and economic implications for not only Germany, Europe but the rest of the world.

The UK can trade with the EU after, or if, it leaves the EU but will have to pay tariffs unless it can negotiate a non tariff favourable deal. The financial sector, the main driving force behind the UK economy, is the UK's Achilles heel and those on the continent know it. The UK hasn't got a good hand to deal and they know it, as was shown in parliament today.

I think we dealt with this earlier.....

Yes mate, by voting for security and stability, I became culpable for the effects of Brexit.

With security and stability, you'll never get to own that big house.......sometimes you have to put yourself out there...not gamble, just believe in yourself......

I was just reminding you as unfortunately, you lost trek of what you were on about.

'So basically you are arguing that we can trade with anyone anyway. So therefore we can trade with the EU anyway. So what was your point again......'

But you didn't really add anything did you......

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

Sorry mate, can't see it, what does it say.....

Was it the €20Bn bill you're on about ?.....

The whole front page really as Harry Smith put it, it reads like an obituary for UK PLC.

Again, I was just reminding you what you said as you forgot what it was you were on about, in particular, claiming that things will get 'better' when the UK leaves the EU. Who you claim are hindering the UK from selling more, to the rest of the world due to not having 'free trade' agreements, without any evidence whatsoever. Leaving the EU is just a hit and hope as was evident today in parliament from the likes of Bill Cash and Rees Mogg.

It would really help if you could just cut and paste the article.......

Don't cut my quotes down. Print them all and answer the question. Our trade relationships have not blown apart. Your views regarding the Eu above just amplify why we need to leave. The Uk knows how to trade and has done so for a long time. Our relationship around the world certainly will change and for the better......and you can quote me in full on that... To say that our relationships have blown apart is arrogance and delusion beyond belief, we haven't even sent the Eu a letter yet......can we just drop the over the top comments that insinuate fact but are merely personal views...

I'm sorry to say this but you clearly have an extremely limited understanding of global trade and relationships.

 

[Joey66]

Like every General Election we've ever had.........

still got blairs maefesto pledge card no mention on it of invading Iraq?

 

[peteblue]

I'm sorry to say this but you clearly have an extremely limited understanding of global trade and relationships.

Well my views are based purely on 40 years experience, but I'm sorry to say this but your pronouncements appear to be nothing more than personal views dressed up as incontestable facts which invariably are incorrect...
