Are you being obtuse? I refuse to believe that you are incapable of understanding the point he was making - but in case that is so, he is highlighting the sophistry of the language that, once again, the Brexiteers are trying to seduce the country with.
The Big Red Brexit Bus of Lies was one example - the Brexit Dividend is another. Rees Mogg knows that the only winners from Brexit will be him and his tax avoiding clients. He knows that we will suffer a net loss from Brexit - he only gives half the picture, and you seem to refuse to accept the other half.
Obtuse back at you if can't understand what Pilgrim said.

OK but many of that list are incompatible with single market membership. Much of the current British economy is dependent on us being a single market member. It's something that's not been questioned n the last 40 years.
Dropping out suddenly will cause firms to close or relocate to the rest of the EU. Airbus employees 17,000 people in the UK , with an estimated 110,000 people in support industries (including myself at one point in the past) It will be a major shock to the economy and we will take years to recover. Many of those jobs will never come back because some modern hi-tech just can't exist in an economy as small as us on our own. Even leavers are now talking about possible Brexit benefits, but only in 30 years time. Is it worth it ? you and I will probably be dead by then having survived our last years on much reduced pensions.
Economy... markets.... markets....economy! These are NOT the only issues but you just won't listen will you? Airbus and now BMW are warning, not saying anything for definite - there will be more of these threats from the big corporate elements who all all pro EU - all part of continuing Project Fear. Why should pensions necessarily be affected?
The EU and those who control it are responsible for ruining the continent of Europe.
If Britain is out of the EU when my last order is called, I'll be happy enough!

The UK's youth unemployment is 10%, but in Germany it is 6% and in Holland 7%, the EU average includes the likes of Greece's 42% youth unemployment and does nothing to explain why British youths don't take advantage of the job opportunities in Germany or Holland.
Maybe the wage differential is insignificant or not attractive enough, unlike that for SE Europeans movIng N and W?

- Ability to strike trade deals with other nations
- No EU laws forced upon us
- Reclaim fishing waters
- Come out of the CAP
- No ECJ jurisdiction
- No contributions to the EU budget
- No free movement of people
The above points from CG1 Blue are all reasons for the out vote. The order of priority may change according to individual but we would like for all of these to happen. Some of us happen to think that they combine to become more important than the near-term economy.

I presume that you, too, are unable to challenge his point so resort to attacking the man himself?
What point? The point I make is about O'Brien himself. If you have a different opinion don't expect to get a word in. No room for debate - no point in listening.

Odd how so many forum Brexiteers seem to be cut from the same cloth.
Has to deal with? Cobblers, he just jumps on anyone with a different view and mutes them out while he rants on.
O'Brien is a complete and utter cretin. No wonder you love him.

So, is Barnier suggesting that the EU won't try to find a bespoke solution to maintain the security collaboration between the EU and the UK after Brexit - thus putting the lives of UK and EU citizens at greater threat?
That would be disgraceful!
Why some people still want to be a part of this crock of sh* I'll never know...
Ah!! Now I understand what a crock refers to! ?

“If the UK was no longer held accountable by EU institutions, including the European court of justice, it could not benefit from the bloc’s security arrangements, he [Barnier]said.
Now who who was it that was struggling with this earlier today?
Barnier is getting barmier by the day. Who do you think gets the most benefit out of this deal?

Your term ‘less powerful economically’ needs clarification. The EU is the world’s second largest economy, behind the US.
Oops.

When it comes to negotiating trade agreements it's the big boys who win - they have the power, so that's the way it goes. It's not bullying, it's the way of the world
Well I guess it depends whose numbers you look at, Big Boy. Here's a few with chart from the FT JAN 22 this year:
https://www.ft.com/content/dec6968c-f6ca-11e7-8715-e94187b3017e
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/03/worlds-biggest-economies-in-2017/
Once the UK leaves then the EU will drop to 3rd again anyway. By the way it's still bullying and typifies the big EU cowardly bully. One of the many good reasons to bail out.

1 hour ago, tebee said:The problem is the EU is the most powerful trading bloc in the world, Britain outside it, is a minnow. They can pretty much demand what they want and we'll have to concede if we want a deal.
The EU has expanded its size of member states but even these 28 are still less powerful, economically, than China.
"They can pretty much demand": well that's what the EU seems to like doing, eh? It was called bullying at school. This often finally ended with the bully getting a straight right onto the end of his nose.

I know precisely what you are referring to ‘security data’, but that’s nothing to do with the European Court of Human Rights.
The EUCHR concern is the human rights of people within the EU.
With respect to data, the court has jurisdiction over the human rights matters relating to that data.
Data shared by any police or security firce within Europe is subject to European Human Rights.
That’s the issue!
European Council for Health Research (EuCHR)

1) please quote my entire post and

Not entirely different, Dick. The EU Commission has and has had more than its unfair share of proven failures in their own national arenas. You can start with Juncker, Kinnock and Mandelson. There are plenty more "prime" examples.

You couldn't be more wrong. We stand for their preservation. Just like Harry Kane just did against Tunisia.
