Funny that Brexiteers often claim that only Germany profits from the EU. If so, why would Germany want to leave?????

 

Because they don't want to bail out any of the peasant countries; Portugal, Italy, Spain etc., when they go belly up like Greece.

Well that's what happens when you have a bunch of paid off surrender monkey globalist puppets in charge taking bribes and backhanders, instead of proud nationalist politicians that put the interests of their own citizens first. The UK needs those in charge that aren't sell outs to the global kabal and do what the Brit's have always been good at and that is trading with the rest of the world as an independent nation. The referendum vote said leave, the politicians, bankers and media have corrupted that decision in their own selfish interests to interpret it on their own terms. Leave means leave, just like I did when I hopped on Thai Airways to leave and live in Thailand

I think there should be another referendum where the English get to vote for independence, I was severely disappointed in the results of the last inderef was kind of hoping they'd have left and took that foul hag Nicola Sturgen with them.

Well, that was a whole heap of data.

The last sentence of that article really would have

been enough..

' For its next decade, then, the euro’s success will hinge a lot on its ability to carry on defying the economic and political odds stacked against it, and keep flying anyways'.

Is it worth a punt with those odds?

No, that is a very selective quote that doesn't do the article justice.....

In 3 months we will all be brexiteers and the 27 remaining countries will have to find funds to stock J C Junckers wine cellar from elsewhere.

Yes Juncker has become a bit of a liability and a joke.  Much like Boris in many ways except he doesn't need booze to put his foot in everything he does and says.  But the sad reality is that it is the UK that is in disarray over Brexit.  It may be hollow words from Juncker but it echoes what just about everyone else is thinking.  For God's sake Britain, get your act together!

You still believe that? Come on. 

International banks workers are moving from London to different EU monetary capitals.. and looks like their families are going to have to move with them, unless workers cover their own commute.

Why Britain decided to leave the EU – but other countries haven’t

 

Why us? Why is the UK the first – and only – country to decide to leave the EU? Greenland, Algeria (when it was part of the French empire) and the French Caribbean island of St Barthélemy have all been in the EU and are no more, but the UK is the first full member country to hold a referendum and decide ‘enough’. Why us, and not one of the many other members nursing doubts about the EU?

A new free trade agreement in the Pacific has come into force on Sunday 30 December and will play a crucial role in promoting free trade.

More businesses than ever are seeking expansion opportunities overseas, International Trade Secretary Dr Liam Fox MP said today (Monday 31st December) as he celebrated a successful year for trade and investment.

International Trade Secretary, Dr Liam Fox MP, said:

2018 has been a year to celebrate our successes in trade - with record highs in investment and exports. In a year where we launched our Export Strategy, our GDP continues to grow at a quicker rate than the Eurozone, and employment is at a rate we haven’t seen for more than 40 years.

With exports reaching £626bn we look forward to 2019. Overseas trade will continue to play a crucial part in economic growth and my international economic department will do all it can to support UK businesses to expand their operations overseas.

Exporters and business people recognised in the 2019 New Year's Honours list for their contribution and service to international trade and exporting.

But neither us or the EU have any involvement in this ? China is not involved either, and they are the major player in that area.

Trump trying to influence a vote in Parliament? And you think that’s OK? 

"could" and "Bank of England" they just go together so well. Could means anything might happen and the BOE has a fine tradition for predicting nothing that ever happens.

All he’s doing is pointing out that, if we are to remain under the control of the E.u we would not be able to independently make trading agreements with the U.S.A and the rest of the world.

Yet presumably you were O.K with President Obama attempting to influence the result of the 2016 referendum, at the request of the remain

supporting Cameron.

Get over it, the British people made their choice when they Democratically voted to exit this so called union.

 

All that has to be decided now,by remainer T.May. Is 

1/ To attempt to push through Parliament her Chequers agreement, which to anything but Brexit.

2/ Accept the Democratic wish of the people,and implement their instructions, as she promised to do.

3/ Overturn the Democratic decision of the electorate, by not carrying out their instructions,and keep us tied into this so called Union. And in doing so, accept the consequences of taking such action.

So your posts demonstrate that belonging to the EU does not hinder successful trade with other countries. Thank you for reminding us! ????

The EU already has or is negotiating free trade agreements with most of its members individually. Mind you, the EU, like USA, prefers to negotiate trade deals with individual (smaller) countries directly, rather than with larger aggregates with higher negotiating power.

why you talk about T.May?

don't you have a sovereign parliament in this old democracy of yours that can make decisions?

Please try and keep up. T.May is the Prime minister,admittedly a remain supporting P.M. And as such is the leader of the government, and therefore the person who is responsible for the final decisions.
