Your Merkel/May Surrender Treaty was not agreed by Parliament, three times. You have no WAG, the one which tried to trick us into 39 Bn
We owe nowt.

Well, if you say that, it must be true. Is quite noticeable about how much expertise you have. 

The UK payment obligations have very little to do with May's agreement. Almost all payment obligations of the UK are based on nearly 50,000 separate contracts signed during the 40 years of EU membership.

The other way round, it's funny too. Since the Eastern Europeans undercut the wages of the British. If you look at the hourly rates on the escort sites of the UK, these are the highest in the whole of Europe. The service providers are from Eastern Europe, Asia and South America. And who pays these extremely high fees? The men of the UK. Double ripped off.

Lol.

 

because the EU has a trade deal with Korea since a long time: http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/press/index.cfm?id=1991

 

Why would you need 2 .... 

 

oh i guess because you like worse deals...The EU has faaar more leverage than the UK alone to get trade deals.

 

 

 

You have a trade deficit because you are not a producing nation, your economy is service based and centered around london.

None of that will changed after leaving. You are still producing the same stuff...

LOL, do you actually think the E.U. will continue having the City of London do all their insurance & banking for them? That's nuts. Frankfurt, Paris, Dublin, and other E.U. cities will take ALL of it. You need to be in the club to keep that cream work. The ones in denial are the same ones who said the £ would get stronger with Brexit. How is that working out? 

 

As for trade with S.E. Asia, the Brits only need to drop wages to 8£ per 12 hour day and it should all work out well.

London, New York and HK are the financial centres in each region of the globe. There are many reasons for this including lifestyle, language, timezone, history and overall 'pull' of global talent. London will remain a financial centre after Brexit whether you like it or not. City firms are making contingency plans by setting up satellite operations in other parts of Europe.  But the bulk of business will be done in London. The brains behind the big institutions will find loopholes and clever solutions as they always have done when faced with major challenges. 

Frankfurt, Paris and Dublin are not places that will attract the global talent and the wealthy financiers. It would take decades and huge change for one of those to take over London's position. 

And I don't recall anybody saying the £ would get stronger after a Brexit vote and before we have left the EU. Do you?

We won't be a member anymore. Our 40 years of EU membership are almost over. 
No WAG, No 39 Billion. Your country can pay up if you really want.

Of course London will lose their business, screwing UK economy over.

Frankfurt, Milan and Co will be the big winners.

 

Reading comprehension much? I wrote the same you wrote dude.

UKs trade agreements are laughable, as the EU already has better ones.

 

Why would i be in denial, you just deny reading what was actually written, my whole post was contra brexit.

Wrong, as per post #66. 

Both of us are expressing opinions of course, but I have history on the side of my argument. London has survived as a global centre for trading since at least the 1600s, and you have to admit there have been plenty of major global events over that period of time.

It also had an empire where the sun never set. That was then and this is now. The U.K. is screwed whether you want to whistle by the graveyard or not. One thing that will never, ever change is the arrogance of the English. "We're English, we'll just hoodwink the Wops, Frogs & Kreuts."

From reading history books the so called empire was a financial burden on the uk not a cash cow, wasn’t it?
