This would, very roughly, be the same as a £600 per year bill for someone with a salary of £50000. Sure, it might be nice if you didn't have to pay it, but its not going to meaningfully impact your day to day life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only a grubby colonial but my understanding from Brit friends is that UK contribution is much higher on a per-capita basis than any of the other members, which is why they want out. If it is as you say, then the Brexit people are being bigger idiots than I even thought. Edited June 24, 2018 by The Deerhunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is as you say, then the Brexit people are being bigger idiots than I even thought. They talk about net contribution. Some countries are net beneficiaries. The idea is to help countries grow their economies and societies. UK is a major contributor but it's still small IMHO. The aim is to grow the total size of the market and give poorer countries a leg up. Nothing wrong with that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The E.U-Canada free trade agreement will be kicking in shortly. Canada can then buy into Airbus using Bombardier. The wing work can be done in Montreal.

kwilco Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Not just Airbus...... every auto company, manufacturer, finance company, farmers .... all have reported concerns about Brexit.

Orac Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Bottom line is these companies are operated by directors who are responsible to shareholders who have a legitimate concern about what plans they have in place to deal with issues relating to Brexit. While the govt insists on ‘no deal’ being an option then they must plan accordingly and keep shareholders informed - that the govt think these details should be suppressed from the companies owners shows how out of touch they are with reality.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get that number from?Your welcome to my skeletons if your sad enough ;-)I'm also sad enough to research long and deep enough & know people within the aviation industry, including defence aspect.The car industry also depends on manufacturers to be fair, let's not forget Trump & his trade tariffs will hurt the EU, whilst the UK is currently an EU member its soon to be leaving and the U.K. thus being independent. Lastly, in a recent Sky news interview with Kay Burley the American ambassador has made it very clear Trump is very keen to do a bilateral trade deal with the U.K. Soonest. To summarise, excuse for not answering the £1bn figure however I'm happy to be disapproved on the basis but not the figure itself.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
