So after the votes and the EU hardline reaction, why did the FTSE rise 1.6% today and the £/Euro @1.14, £/$ @1.31. Record high employment, unemployment at 4.0%, inflation lowest in 2 years at just 2.1%, wages rising @3.4%. We can only blame Brexit. Finm, Was it the Scottish economy figures? I must check as I think they were published today
amazing responses there. there are many things wrong with the eu but they are no more responsible for whats going on in france with the yellow jackets than they were for us kettling student protestors. I am not going to waste my time responding to comments which are blinkered. If remainers like me can accept we are leaving and the EU is history, why cant Brexiters do the same? Or would you prefer to go back to pulling your arguments apart with facts and logic? Such as, what do you call a man who took taxpayers money to fund his business, backed the EU, campaigned for Freedom of Movement, wanted the UK to join the Euro, then lost a court case and decided Brexit was the real deal and that British industry can stand on its own, before moving his HQ out of the UK to a lower tax territory with a free trade agreement with the EU? Is it a) a hypocrite b) James Dyson c) a traitor d) all of the above and you still don't feel you have been lied to. Or Digby Jones who claimed that not one single job would be lost with BREXIT. https://inews.co.uk/news/emma-barnett-lord-digby-jones-brexit-jobs-interview-bbc-radio-5-live/ and now claims Shall I go back to that for you? I don't want to! Where are the positives? Give me the positives!
Don't read your own, it will be like a mute war First, I will use a farrage article and video clip from the express this morning but to parry that, another article from euronews which is a french news company owned by an egyptian. It maybe that there is a way to go to wto/free trade and in a way that allows a transition for both sides that can see a planned and expected leave farrage https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1...gel-farage-jean-claude-juncker-michel-barnier euro news https://www.euronews.com/2019/01/31...antidote-to-a-no-deal-brexit-euronews-answers article 24 of the wto could be a way out for both sides. It would allow a wto exit over a 2 year period so a better planned leave and still allow the eu to say they saved the 4 pillars of their community.
Hi Noobie. Much as I dislike Nigel Farrage and his brand of politics, he is at least looking for a workable solution that delivers “Leave” for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
We voted to leave, no talk in the referendum of leaving with a deal ..deals should be done after we have left. For me.. Nigel Farage for PM ...or Donald Trump , or even Piers Morgan & he was a remainer & he said he respects the vote & that the leave vote showed be honoured....all would do a far better job than Theresa May & the shower of shit we have right now.. she is the worst PM EVERRRRR & she's as crafty as a cart load of monkeys... There is far too many politicians looking after their own arses, here in the UK & the EU... commonly known as the "Gravy Train"
Fair points and although raised several times and answers given, for my part of care in the community, I'm willing to help. Eu and uk will declare zero tariffs on each others products farmers will be kept afloat by the money not sent to brussels until they learn the fullest of wto systems and how to acclimatise to the real world and not the protectionist alright jack system we have been having. Sub standard? really? we covererd this in chicken (if you want to claim the eu has a standard then type in bad meat in the eu) the eu has never stopped bad meat entering the food chain as most bad meat in the eu, has come from countries WITHIN the eu. It does have or should have if the same scally's haven't lied on the forms, a system to backtrace the product. Shock horror who knew news, in this digital age most products can be traced back, other countries have compooters too Article 24 allows the eu to say, see, we never lowered our stance on the freedoms, it allows brexit in it's correct form of wto/free trade and by allowing a two year phase out (the same period in mays deal) it will allow a easy and planned unconcious coupling as gwyneth calls it and at the end every ones a winner
The same way we do today? The systems and processes are in place and don't get junked at the end of March. Anything being shipped into the EU has to have pre-clearance, enters and is cleared through systems. It's not a box of tricks in Brussels.
Says who and what has changed? Currently, all intra EU goods have to be accounted for through VAT and Euro stat. Going forward it will transfer to CDS. Goods from outside the EU processes are decades established. People with clipboards and torches haven't been around for a looooooong time.
It's been a busy few days on this thread and extremely hard to keep up with. So to be clear, are we all doomed?
Ask the one in three Italian youth that are unemployed what their thoughts of the EU are. Similar figures in Greece and Spain. What is the EU doing for those countries.
Switzerland is not part of the Schengen agreement and does have border security but it does have to allow free movement to EU citizens because that is what they have signed up to in order to get the benefits of close association with the EU without actually being members with voting rights.
