The Consequences of Brexit [part 4]

[I1L2T3]

'Best for Britain' financial backer George Soros certainly doesn't want what's best for Britain. He is a super rich, unelected dual Hungarian and US citizen who has pumped vast sums of money into his political causes around the world in order to dictate policy to governments.

 

And he has done this using money he gained from speculating on British economic misery. 'Best for Britain' is simply being paid to carry out Soros long term agenda of subverting democracy for the benefit of a super wealthy clique of global capitalists.

 

Remind us where Murdoch is from, where Lord Rothermere is domiciled and where the Barclay bothers base their tax affairs.

We were warned a vote to Leave the EU would lead to an immediate and profound economic shock (with negative growth and unemployment increasing by around 500,000) when in fact growth has accelerated and employment has GROWN by around 560,000 since the vote.

 

What's more, when we finally leave the rich mans club with it's rich mans rules, we will finally be free to nationalise energy, water and the railway industry. We can impose tax rises on the big businesses and enormously wealthy individuals who profited from our EU membership. Brexit is the opportunity to redistribute power and wealth away from the EU and it's supporters and give it instead to decent hard working people.

 

Let's do this!

 

I admire your sentiment but you forget that the process has been captured by hardline right wing politicians who want the opposite of what you want.

As the UK only produce 43% of our gas usage, do you think that the likes of Russia and Norway might get a tad angry if we hijacked their property?

 

We get gas from Russia don’t we.

 

Maybe the fact that Brexiters are doing Putin’s bidding will stand us in good stead.

 

Ooops, May has scuppered that by declaring a new Cold War.

Which Prime Minister will nationalise energy,water and the railway industry?

[Litotes]

Why would a vote of the people in 2018 be less democratic than one that happened two years ago?

 

It wouldn't be, nor any more than the 1975 one.

 

However, a democracy allows people to change their minds, and as we are getting landed with a pig in a poke brexit (Did the UK really know what it meant to Gibralter, NI, etc when they voted yes?) then it makes sense to have a vote on the final decision.

 

In fact, it would be the only democratic way to do it - anything else would be tossing the whole history of the UK and the mothers of parliament in the bin.

We don't use a lot of gas from Russia . France and Germany are far more dependant on Russian gas than we are

I think we import around 1% of our gas from Russia.

WTF?! Really? I don't think maths is your strong point.

 

According to British Gas, the UK imports 44% of its gas from Europe. Russian sourced gas accounts for 35% of gas from Europe.

 

So 35% of 44% is 15.4%. How does that equal 1%?

Exactly but some use things like this in their scaremongering agenda

15.4% is an insignificant amount? OK

[Longcol]

According to this British Gas website it's about 15% (ie 35% of the 44% that comes from European pipelines).

It also states we'll have to import more as North Sea production declines.

I don't think maths is your strong point either. Please check your facts. In fact, just research some facts instead of making it up. Thanks.
