kanny 20,437 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 3%, 5%, 8% which ever figure strokes your conformation bias, does it warrant holding the country over a barrel for? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spoiler alert, 40% of UK export trade is to the EU. Your post was disingenuous. I don't know where to begin ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 20,437 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 8 minutes ago, Blofeld said: Only £267 billion, small change really. Your missing the point and in the scale of things it is small change, if UK companies choose to export to the EU then they must comply to EU regulations however the much much greater number of companies that do not export to the EU 92-97% should not be hindered by EU regulations. As far as I'm aware most trade with the EU has continued regardless. The EU is insignificant in the big picture and certainly not worth being ruled by. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Never mind the, but this and but that, The majority of the British voters, Voted to leave the EU on promises that were made by politicians at the time, Its about time they delivered on those promises, Take control of our borders and taking back our ability to make our own laws are but two promises that were made. As for trade with the EU then i believe that the EU wants/needs our trade as much as we do, Its all smoke and mirrors to say otherwise, Behind all these issues you will find a money trail and that's the real issue with politics today, Its never about the people and Country, Always about the money.

You're living in a dream that is slowly and surely becoming a nightmare. Where did i say anything like that?. The EU needs our goods as much as we need there custom, How this happens can be as easy or hard as the politicians want to make it, Follow the money would be my advice, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hambone 949 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Has it ever occurred to the Remainers that if the UK had just left the EU after the vote (hard brexit) and all had got onboard with the result of a democratic vote we would be in a much better place now? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hambone 949 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 The other point that Remainers seem to ignore is that the EU sells us more than we sell them! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot if they stop trading with us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It hasn't started well because our politicians and Remainers are still actively trying to fk it up. just think how long would Germany for example spite us by imposing tariffs when we could retaliate by putting those same tariffs on the likes of VW/Audi/BMW/ Mercedes etc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No the politicians that over see it are the disaster.

BBC News - UK to be one of worst performing economies this year, predicts IMF. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65240749 Worst economy....yet not in recession and 1% growth. Imagine what it would of been if we hadn't closed the economy down for 2 years. Why do we need mass growth year on year. Why do we allow bankers and debt peddlers to demand growth growth growth. How about sustainability long term. 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
