So, the EU saw that the UK legislation was good, and used it as a basis for making a Europe-wide law with some modifications.  The UK, as part of the EU was able to help steer those modifications.  What a brilliant idea and useful reminder of how the whole EU working together for the benefit of all can work. 

 

Thank you for pointing that out.

The point is that the EU is an unnecessary leech.

You have to understand that they think of themselves as "Patriots", although you might be forgiven for thinking, that people who set about destroying the economy of their own country, would be better labelled traitors.

 

They suffer from "Grand mal" delusions, like the idea that the EU will collapse without the UK contributions, when Brexit has already cost us nearly as much in lost GDP as our entire contributions to the EU from the start. (Bloomberg). Given that the UK has survived that cost, how big an impact will it have on the EU - UK is only around 14% of the EU economy - obviously much much less (Primary school maths).

Can you prove what you say?

Brexiteers in this forum have admitted they don’t care about the economy. 
 

 

No they haven't.

So do you really honestly believe - despite the views of an overwhelming majority of financial experts- that the UK will be better off economically outside the EU? 

 

Who are we going to sell the 48% of our exports to that formerly went to the EU. Our balance of payments is grim already? 

My comment was not to do with the economy. You may or may not realise that.

 

Whether or not the UK economy will be better off away from the UK remains to be seen.

 

Remainers always ignore the fact the the economy was not the priority for the leave vote,

 

The EU will continue to buy most of what they are buying from us already.

Im from EU living in Thailand, not allowed to vote, I used to live in UK 9 years, just having a chat here.

 

Miggrants dont take jobs its myth and there were studies done 

 

http://infacts.org/mythbusts/eu-immigrants-arent-taking-brits-jobs/

 

There is another bit of simple logic that helps shatter the myth. Migrants are undoubtedly coming to the UK and finding jobs, but those jobs were there before the migrants arrived and clearly haven’t been claimed by Brits. So, the jobs migrants are taking are not being ‘stolen’ – they are jobs which native British either do not have the skills for, do not want for some reason, or are simply too lazy (or maybe too proud) to accept.

MISSION STATEMENT

InFacts has been in hibernation since December 2019. Previously its mission was to make the fact-based case against Brexit as a journalistic enterprise.

No bias there! However, for the last 4 years the vast majority of ranting posts in Brexit threads on TV have clearly been emitted by remainers.

And/or Ponti's ????

I don't think JRM has been gagged. I see him all the time - sticking it up the lefty side, particularly that numbskull Ashworth.

 Where's that then?

 

Certainly not as a government spokesperson in any of their daily briefings and press conferences. Even very junior ministers are wheeled out for them, but not Rees-Mogg!

 

Although, to be fair, he did make this vital statement on the pandemic in the Commons a month ago: Rees-Mogg suggests pub-goers enjoy 'yard of ale' to mark lockdown easing!

if Parliament fancies a say on the final outcome and D10 doesn't fancy likewise,

why on earth doesn't Parliament hammer a piece of statute ensuring that they will have a say

 

the foggy island is weird and the governing of it is not sound

 

 It's called a three line whip

 

Even so, some 20 Tory backbenchers, I understand, did abstain; though none had the courage to vote against it and risk being ejected from the party.

53% of voters wanting a final say on the deal is incorrect as that figure includes 11.5%  Liberal Democrats vote share where the party made in crystal clear if they won a majority they would cancel Brexit without a 2nd vote

so the 53% is really 41.5 of the total vote share

 

Liberal Democrats

The Liberal Democrats have pledged to cancel Brexit if they win power at the general election.

Jo Swinson claims policy to revoke Article 50 and stop Brexit is ‘popular’

As your links make clear, the LibDems said they would only cancel Brexit if they won power; i.e. won the majority of seats in the House.

 

Otherwise they would support a referendum on the final deal.

 

But your post makes my case even stronger; 41.5% said they wanted a vote on the final deal, and 11.5% said they wanted to cancel Brexit altogether!

There'll be a clear out very soon, but it's Boris who'll be calling upon the services of Pickford's!
