Current Affairs EU In or Out

Nope. It’s like saying that reasons that other countries will suggest affected their economy are ignored by certain people in the U.K. because everything must be blamed on Brexit….

Brexit hasn't been implemented fully regarding import regulation and control, has it?

The fact the Leave government has failed (repeatedly) to enact the restrictions on itself that Brexit involves because they know the further damage it will cause.

Council on hook ‘for £10m’ over border post left in limbo by Brexit

The £25m port facility was built to fit government plans but stands empty while new border strategy is delayed

Even forgetting for a moment that all this could have been avoided, the sheer incompetence and lack of planning is astonishing.

Plans to replace the EU's Health and Safety CE mark, with the UK Conformity Assessed Mark (UKCA) has been described by the chief executive of the Fire Industry Association as "making absolutely zero sense"

He says "It makes zero difference to increasing the quality of products" while at the same time "doesn't add any value whatsoever ; it's just bureaucracy and will cost the fire industry millions of pounds"

I tell you what then. I’ll bet you £100, the loser to pay to Alder Hey Hospital, that the EU will have an EU Army, all 27 EU countries (not ones that join later) will be in the Euro and Schengen and tax harmonisation is in place within 5 years. All have already been proposed by the EU commission, so let’s see how that goes.......oh, and I’m not a gambling man.....

So long as they can fob a sizable percentage of the costs of an EU army off on Britain and this side of the Atlantic, they're never doing that.

We still do it because we know EU stability is worth more than the expenditures, so we would do it anyway. Trump wouldn't, but this is what happens when you elect a businessman whose business is almost entirely domestic. He views taxes as a liability, rather than realizing what he buys with them.

Indeed. But even though you didn’t take up my offer I will still send £100 to Alder Hey……..

A real cynic like me would suggest you do that every year anyway. lol

If not, please kindly forgive my cynicism.

Some on here are perhaps aware or remember that I have a close relationship with Alder Hey, and have had since childhood. No problem with your cynicism………

@peteblue
I think you'll find I did.
Fair play for honouring it.
I'll throw in a few bob too.

I'll take that bet.
I don't count PESCO or other joint military operations as an EU army.
Also we're talking full tax harmonization here, like the same corporate tax rate in France and Ireland, right?
