you got my answers stop insisting you didnt,now to UK employment issue's what do you want me to say? are you happy with them or sad i need to know as to give my reply,

Amazing. I ask you what are The EU doing about currency problems in the Eurozone and your answer is your partner gets paid in Euros and she has no complaints therefore there are no problems.  With an answer like that I have to admit I can't compete with that sort of logic and consider the matter closed because you just don't understand the question.

Over and out.

    As a committed Brexiteer I take no notice of these ongoing and nonsensical threats from the establishment. Project Fear was a disaster and did not work, time to drop the negativity. To have our countr

Are you once again making these % age figures up ?

I also didnt state that the "UK is going to be a mass producer of goods again"

That is a strawman argument .

I was talking about the UK's current exports and the new markets that will be open to the UK with no E.U restrictions .

havent made any figures up,i have stated a further drop of 15% or more would be required to have anychance of  making an impact,that may happen it may not i was using the figure that the pound dropped after the vote as an example,as that drop did FA for exports,it could drop 40% and have no impact who knows,.

There was a series documentary many years ago as to how govt. used the 'fear factor' to control the population.  Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the documentary series.

Which ones? Over half of your exports are to the EU....

 

have fun finding these "new" markets "without restrictions" ????

 

Also the service industry aka Finance and co is 80% of your whole GDP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_Kingdom#Service_industries

It’s forcing the UK into trade deals with 40 countries or so, stopping the UK from doing own trade deals with Nigeria or the Färöer Islands. I mean, no one knows the future, so no one can say for sure whether maybe those trade deals could turn out much more valuable than the crappy EU ones. Anyway, can you stop your questioning and praise the opportunity? You’re betraying Brexit. Where is our British fighter mentality? My grand grand grand dad fought against the Germans, so stop it.

Well it certainly worked on the Remainers and it’s still working now.
Must be easy on malleable minds, especially if you tell them that the experts say so.

Well then. Is not that important. 

Perhaps the UK should pay its bills in the future with shells and glass beads.

.the UK is not going to be a mass producer of goods again in the future,stop dreaming

So why do you Remainers bang on so much about losing access to our “main markets” and trading partners in EU?
I know your arguments are all over the place, but try to keep on message or you’ll shoot down the others.

That can have greater value than paying your bills with some peoples opinions.

That would be logical. In fact no; the last forced devaluation had no beneficial effect on exports. Worrying don't you think?

That is right.

And what does that mean for the UK imports?

You also realize that the UK imports more than exports?

With all the existing problems in the EU / Eurozone, then if they lose one of the 'big four' economies in their club without any kind of a deal, I think it's highly likely the Euro will take a tumble.

The THB is very strong at the moment, so the low rate vs GBP is not all about Brexit.

Simplistic thinking.

 

A currency devaluation to stimulate your economy isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. 

 

A lower pound means imports are more expensive, which will impact CPI. Local producers of the same product are more than likely just to put up their prices to match the imported benchmark. Double whammy. 

 

And just because your exports are cheaper means naught if you have limited access to markets. 

 

So you replacing seamless access to 400m people on your doorstep with customers elsewhere. Think:

 

- longer supply chains and more shipping costs

- tariffs in the destination country which will wipe out any currency advantage 

- non tariff barriers which will mean that that Stilton cheese which used to be easily exported to France may have to sit in port for customs checks in China or Japan, negating any freshness benefits.

- quotas, where you just can’t sell any more than a certain limit per year.

 

so, yes yes, I know project fear, blah blah blah and that dogged British bulldog stiff upper lip which achieved victory over the Huns. They need us more than we need them etc etc will sort things in a jif so not to worry, and you’ll carry on.
