I mean numbers are at work here, the UK wasn't even the biggest EU contributor as measured by any of the four methods of measuring this. and you honestly believe that other countries that are being squeezed by the EU wont make moves to leave, what happens to the EU when Italy,Greece, Portugal, etc, want to leave and renegade on their debts, who will pay for that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economic inactivity - Office for National Statistics https://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/elmr/economic-and.../economic-inactivity.pdf by D Leaker - Cited by 17 - Related articles The economically inactive are defined as people who are not in employment or unemployed. There are many reasons why an individual may be inactive, for example, they might be studying, looking after family or long-term sick. The economically inactive are defined as people who are not in employment or unemployed. So what is your point? You want the economically inactive to become active and compete for jobs as specialist wheel barrow operators? Leaving the EU will assist with that no doubt laudable aim?

You might make that point for Greece, but does it want to leave? Absolutely not. Only the UK is silly enough to want to leave and after Brexit no other country is likely to be so stupid to follow its example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could it be a fair vote when nobody knew what Brexit really meant? The government should have triggered Article 50, negotiated a deal with Brussels and then put it to a referendum. Which is what is now being proposed. Far more democratic than the sham of 2016. Er..I think remainers would have had a rather stronger case if A50 had been triggered without a referendum first.

nauseus Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 10 hours ago, sjaak327 said: Yeah the second net contributor just slightly ahead of my own country, the Netherlands, which has a much smaller population. Me think you are vastly overestimating yourself. But time will tell. Hard Brexit will probably mean UK products will become much less popular inside the European internal market, and that will of course hurt your exports. Again numbers talk, volume talks. A hard Brexit will cost you more money than the agreement which is now on the table. Yeah, I know the Netherlands pays higher per capita - that's up to you guys. But the issue was the EU budget, so taking the No.2 net contribution out will obviously upset the EU gravy boat. I am not making any kind of estimation of myself. Yes, a hard Brexit would be bad economically, at least in the short-term - it will be bad for the EU too. But, like always, the fact that the vote was not primarily about money has been ignored by remain fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nauseus Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 9 hours ago, Nigel Garvie said: Yes it is clear that we have already lost a lot of business, I have seen it again and again in different newspapers. Then future planning decisions have been made to shift business away from UK also. The amount that we pay into the EU is less than the damage ALREADY done to the value of our top companies - see quote. Why would anyone with a basic understanding of economics want to focus on what we put in without taking account of what we get out - some 3% of GDP apparently - which dwarfs our contribution. What puzzles me about the English that so many of them look up to an establishment, that is busy shafting them on a regular basis. Blind worship of a dysfunctional Royal Family, the ritual doffing of caps to vile toffs like JR Mogg, and uncritical admiration of the mega rich, looks like Stockholm syndrome writ large. Are we serfs to dance to these people's tunes? It is not freedom from the EU we need to worry about, it is freedom from the control of the twisted bunch that actually rule our lives within the UK already. They want you to believe that your problems all about the EU or Immigrants. BTW we are all immigrants, there was no one here 10,000 years ago. What's so remarkable, when the DOW has dropped a similar amount? Silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRich Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 5 hours ago, yogi100 said: Are you implying that working men who saw their livelihoods threated by eastern European scab labour needed a 'posh boy' to tell them about it. Any 'dunderhead' knows that given the chance their employers will take on the fellow who will work for the least money. It's a situation that's as old as the hills. So they throw their hat in the ring with ultra right wing free marketers who couldn’t give a toss about their employee rights or their access to public services? And most Europeans are working in ordinary jobs paying taxes, jobs that are available to all and protected by minimum wage legislation. Should I be unhappy that there are less English plumbers ripping me off over a 10 minute job? I’d rather pay a fair price to a Pole. As for the rest of them, a combination of old people, insulated from the economic impact (or at least they think they are) and benefits scroungers afraid a European might get access to their free lifestyle.

I may be wrong but most polls commissioned by a non impartial source seem to get the result they require to meet their agenda. No you are correct the people’s vote carry out a poll and amazingly comes back with the result they want. Bit like academics findings when paid for by business ? I suspect with the nasty ness of remainers on Brexit voters in any case more will actually still vote leave once in the privacy of the ballot box. Even if they did win a second bring on the third?

You might be wrong. “a university wallah” takes the shovel, gives it to a Polish or Romanian worker, then charges you ten times what he pays the worker. He then founds a company to build automatic shovels which eventually replace all workers and make him rich. You add “rich kids who can’t even use a shovel” to your list of things to condemn, next to immigrants and the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
