Carlinate Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Retep. Thanks for the reply. 1, No it's not. only in the dreams of Brexiteers. It's more successful than both the UK and USA economies. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj75qbwtKLVAhUoL8AKHdOADYQQFggtMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fbusiness%2F2017%2Fjun%2F08%2Fuk-economy-falls-to-bottom-of-eu-growth-league&usg=AFQjCNFQWEPHxsnvM4zDFVm7Ils4Z7s8ug https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj75qbwtKLVAhUoL8AKHdOADYQQFghHMAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ft.com%2Fcontent%2F0bbc026a-ea12-11e6-967b-c88452263daf%3Fmhq5j%3De1&usg=AFQjCNEHMgfqxbtVCjmxihiOs16RVpBrNg 2, The point is that the UK government was always responsible for over 50% of immigration and therefore using it as an argument to leave was nonsense. 3, The point about the conflicts is that waging war against various countries is as clear a statement of sovereignty as you could make. 'Taking back control' was another nonsensical argument. 4, Not one EU country has us as its main trading partner. those four countries are more successful than us because they produce more products that people want to buy than we do. How is that going to change any time soon? Now stop making childish remarks. Better than the UK economy since you ask, and has been for quite some time now. Fastest growing economy in Europe and more successful than any part of the UK apart from the south east. As J P Morgan has just spent $138,000,000 buying an office block in Dublin for 1,000 jobs it's transferring from London, that may change as well.

andyofborg Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I must have been reading the wrong paper, https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/irish-economy-about-one-third-smaller-under-new-growth-indicator-1.3154818 you haven't been reading the wrong paper the new measure of irish gdp, not eu gdp, strips out the activity of multinationals, which not surprisingly is important in ireland. i imagine applying that same measure to the rest of the world, including the uk, would produce equally depressing results. it also points out, what would happen should highly mobile multinationals decide to leave the uk, in whole or in part, as a result of brexit.

Carlinate Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 1 Blinkered, https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?source=search_app&gfe_rd=cr&ei=HJjDU4uYJ-HR8gfmq4CQCw&gws_rd=ssl#q=crumbling+eu I must have been reading the wrong paper, https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/irish-economy-about-one-third-smaller-under-new-growth-indicator-1.3154818 Andyofborg has explained your misapprehension, and as he points out, should multinationals - of which we have many - decide to pull out of the UK as a result of Brexit we would be in economic trouble, even more than we are already. I have been visiting family in the Republic all my life and can remember exactly what it was like over sixty years ago. The difference is startling. All of my family members are doing well financially, and the friends that I have had from schooldays in Ireland are also doing well. You see because Ireland is a Republic and relatively new as a country ( It's actually an older nation than England, but there was a bit of disruption along the way. ) it tends to have a slightly less 'them and us' set up than Britain. Income is more evenly distributed around the place, and they do have one of the highest salary incomes per capita in the world. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjepuj25aLVAhVHBcAKHYx0CV0QFghHMAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgazettereview.com%2F2016%2F04%2Ftop-10-countries-highest-salaries%2F&usg=AFQjCNFR68O_yj_xvMLPpJkZ4BoVb0kE4Q You need to stop worrying about them, and worry about the country which has decided to leave the wealthiest and most successful Trade Bloc in the world without a plan. The country that the Japanese have felt so sorry for after seeing their total ineptitude, that they have offered their assistance in negotiations. We are an object of pity thanks to Brexiteers inability to think things through and understand the difference between jingoistic myths and reality.

Yummers! Chlorine washed chicken, hormone fed beef and GM! So Liam Fox is willing sign a deal that undercuts British farmers on both cost and welfare. They'll be regretting voting for Brexit now.
