In no way did I become confused over immigration into the UK when I voted out, which I did so for reasons other then that, the EU is a mess and it will always be a mess while it keeps on thinking it's the best thing since sliced bread, isn't it true that other countries are watching the UK, why, if it's such a good thing to be in.
How can any knowledgable (Supposed to be anyway) person keep on telling one and all that the brexit is bringing the country down when it's only been this way for less then 6 months, you cant even say a business is working and viable in much under 4/5 years, but you know whats going to happen in less then 6 months?
I and the millions of others had no making of the ghastly position the UK is supposed to be in, joining this mess did that to the UK all on its own.
I do know one thing for sure though, I am not going to keep on running down the country I was born in, I am going to try to do my best to see it prosper, if in anyway I can.
1. The EU believes in freedom. The UK is trying to be greedy. 5th biggest economy, 4.9% unemployment, record numbers IN employment, and the UK wants more still. Who really thinks they're the best thing since sliced bread?
2. The state of the pound tells you everything you need to know.
3. The UK has enjoyed generous growth over the past 40 years, with national wealth increasing significantly. Where on earth do you people get the idea that we had it bad? When the pound was at its peak, we enjoyed a tremendous standard of living, because we could buy our imports for peanuts. What was so bad about that? Far better for our currency to fall on its ass and cost us all more for the large number of imports we have, eh? Thats not even short term thinking, thats just plain stupidity.

certainly not an expert but most of low IQ can discover that WTO rules do not permit more than 10% tariffs unles v exceptional circumstances such as dumping and average WTO tariff is under 5%.
Do you seriously think Audi and Merc will be happy with similar tariffs the other way round?
No no idea if £ will continue to weaken but you Remoaners complain because it's weak and now you are apparently complaining that it may recover and be bad for exports.
Which do you want?
Or is just that whatever happens 17 mill have made a bad decision.
Nissan have been guaranteed nothing as the government have no idea what deal the EU and its business leaders will agree to yet
. They have accepted that the UK govt will do all in its power to strike a sensible, to all, trade deal so the billions of imports into the UK are also not affected and if the prices go up because of a weaker sterling then perhaps we can look elsewhere to buy our goods from, the world is not flat and business does not stop after the EU boundaries.
Open your minds to globalisation it's been around for a while now.
1. Tariff discussion has a long way to go. Not you, nor I, nor even Mrs May, nor even the EU know where we will land.
2. I dont know where you get the idea that we want a weak currency. Our standard o fliving is linked to our currency. As a nation, we have an enormous appetite for imports, and due to our previously high currency, much secondary industry was lost (we were just too expensive), so we just dont make as much as we used to. Once the factories close and those goods start coming in from overseas, setting up new factories become unviable. Even maintaining what we have is tricky, hence the recent discussions with Nissan. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for those discussions, and all I can say is this; IF, and I stress that word IF, a special deal was done for Nissan, how many other companies will then start seeking special deals as well? Will the taxpayer have to subsidise them all? Where will it end? How much will it cost in total?
3. Globalisation. Asking us to open our minds? Come on Hugh. We've had this discussion already. Go to your local supermarket, and just have a look at how many bottles of wine there are from places like South Africa. We ALREADY buy from all corners of the globe. Dont make out like we only buy from the EU and therefore if we dont like the prices we should buy from cheaper countries. Thats being highly disingenuous, and frankly beneath you and everyone else on this forum.
