The Consequences of Brexit (part 3)

[chalga]

That's the biggest load of bull you've come out with yet.

 

You've got a government stupid enough to call an election that does the opposite of what they wanted,now you are saying they are stupid enough to want to negotiate a deal with the EU when they can be better off walking away,no wonder you are the laughing stock of the EU.

I don't see many in the EU laughing when they have to put their hands deeper in their pockets.

The only golden carrot was the UK's contribution to the EU, and boy wont they miss it.

 

If they were worried about that,they would have given Cameron anything he wanted when he asked for a special deal before his last election.

Seeing as the pound has dropped like a stone,the ones putting their hands deeper in their pockets are the UK public when they want a foreign holiday,Europeans are getting more for their money in the UK

Actually... the mood in the EU is pretty buoyant at the moment, finally getting rid of the tantrum throwing know-it-all so they can get on with sorting things out.

Forbes have suggested that these inflation rises follow trends and that a wage increase of perhaps 2% maybe even 3% is likely in 2018, now that would be very nice so, premature but happy new year

2 to 3 whole percents?

 

Notwithstanding that your reply argument basically amounts to fantasizing about scraps...what do households do until '2018'?

 

"this time next year, we'll be millionaires!"

You really don't get it do you?

 

The penny hasn't dropped yet has it?

 

When Boris was trying to make up his mind which horse to back in order to further his career he wrote two columns, one for and one against the EU.

 

After deciding that his personal interest would be best served by backing Brexit leaving him looking like an EU sceptic and placing him in a good position to get the backing of the Tory right and take over from Cameron he printed the anti column,

 

But Boris, just like Cameron before him and May after him miscalculated.

 

He didn't believe that the country would be daft enough to walk away from the most successful Trade Bloc in the world.

Note " The membership fee seems rather small for all that access " and " Why are we so determined to turn our back on it? "

 

The fee for membership of the EU for which we receive so much is less than what we pay to Northern Ireland in an annual subsidy for which we receive so little.

 

After Arlene has had Theresa over a barrel in the present negotiation no doubt that will increase substantially.

 

And if you think that we will gain access to the EU market after Brexit without a fee you are living in dreamland.

Not much point in being a member of a club that only recognises you when you pay your subs, access will open up to more than what is allowed in the EU.

If you want to live under the jack boot I suggest you move.

Donald Trump has gone?

As if "paying your dues" is somehow unusual or unexpected to be a member of such a group... And as if we didn't have a sweet deal anyway, with our rebate and our veto and so on...

" Access will open up to more than what is allowed in the EU ".

 

Would you care to explain that comment?

 

Whilst you're at it perhaps you'd care to explain how Germany,France,Italy and the Netherlands are all more successful exporters than the UK despite being fellow members of the EU.

 

As for the 'jackboot' remark that is arrant nonsense.

 

Just like all EU members the UK has a veto and used it in order to block an EU proposal to impose tariffs on cheap Chinese steel flooding the European market and damaging our steel industries.

 

The UK was more concerned with sucking up to Chinese investment as opposed to protecting our steel industry.

 

Westminster is concerned with the needs of the South East and City of London and places their requirements above all other parts of the country.

 

The EU has been responsible for the distribution of funding to the poorer parts of the provinces.

 

After Brexit the UK governments help to the poorer parts of the nation will be along the lines of Tebbits " Get on your bike ".

Presumably he means that within the EU we couldn't unilaterally make deals with 3rd parties.

Outside it, we're free to do so, although given our size in comparison to the EU we can't expect the deals we strike to be as favourable.
