Or is this another " hilarious" joke?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_trading_partners_of_United_Kingdom

 

Studying this list would wake those Brexiteers up a bit.  The EU is 48% of the UK its trade.

 

US is 14,5% 

 

So good luck with your trade if you get a bad deal from those two countries. There is no way that that is NOT negative.

Fact are facts. I doubt many will read the articles.

It is indeed not a massive tumble, though it is a DECLINE, where you spread the false news, like most Brexiteers do, that it had climbed by 0.64% against the dollar.

 

Quite a difference isn't it, and it shows how delusional the Brexiteers actually are

 

It's one day with about a 0.008 spread from start to finish. What are you on about?

 

You know very well what I'm on about, but unfortunately I can't make blind people see.

 

You see a 0.008 spread, while I see a significant larger spread, and the poster I was replying to saw a 0.64% increase in value.

correct, the real reason for Brexit it's England Proudness nothing else and their argument over an insignificant fishing issue is the prefect example

You are just another who is wound up with some sort of perceived Brit grandiar, it really is incredibly childish...????

yes but they could afford to then. I believe it was a conservative MP who objected to the forming of the NHS with the words, "Here's a pretty picture, free dentures and nowt to bite on".

According to Reuters 1.2 trillion pounds in trading assets have moved from the UK to the EU with the trading houses, the city is waiting nervously to see what the big American trading houses will do, it's a no brainer, in the event of a no deal they will be off to Dublin, Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam, that's a lot of jobs (estimated at one million) and a lot of tax money.

Kwasaki's rates were wrong but even so 0.64% is not a tumble. 6.4% is.

We can all speculate, I could speculate that some EU countries may be paying a lot more to its Oliver Twist neighbours....

Not agreed on how good Brexit is I dare you to find one economic article telling that the UK its trade is better without the EU then with. Please find it .

This is the main point. Without a crystal ball nobody knows as it will take time when the UK finally leaves and trades with the majority counties other than the EU. You constantly read of what the UK will lose from leaving the EU and yes that is fact. It is also fact the EU will lose some. Until time, when the UK trades outside of the EU your article is only conjecture and not fact.

The only thing that gets boring is non Brits telling us what we should do and what we shouldn't. What is better for us and what isn't. it is patronising and disingenuous.

 

How would you feel if all of a sudden someone thinks they are the resident expert on British life and politics because they read the Guardian and watch PM question time and they are not British. The credibility is weal with your statements like the one below.

I am looking forward to the UK becoming more patriotic and buying British over EU products.

 

You should be more concerned about Holland but I wouldn't be so arrogant to tell you what to do, think and what mistakes you have made, unlike...  you continually do.

 

No doubt you will come back with some trash about this or that. I will save you some time. We have left the EU and will will prosper as a country outside of the EU. We will save money on contributions and in a few years will be celebrating that we broke free. Other countries will be envious that they didn't have the strength and courage to do the same.

Be careful with that arrogance, the UK isn't to far away from asking "please sir can I have some more" and that is during the transition phase.

Be patient, a 6.4 tumble didn't happen yet, just wait for it. It has tumbled already about 25% against the Euro since the UK started their mickey mouse show, and you ain't seen nothing yet

Another arrogant jibe with 'Brexit Joke.' That democratic referendum which was won by the leave campaign has been debated on here by myself and a good few others since 2015. Some have changed their names for whatever reason to conceal their identities.

 

The said poster has only recently come on these threads with his expert opinions. Having an opinion is one thing but telling others they are wrong, they have made a tragic mistakes,  and they will suffer is another.  It is arrogant, misguided and speculation.

 

You would think that it is affecting him personally or any other non Brit.

 

As usual Non Brits on here keep going on about the UK leaving the EU. Well I don't care and many others don't. What is a joke is the EU masquerading as a democratic entity, when it is not. I am sure like others you will say the EU has its problems. That's the usual but nothing gets done.

 

Some countries don't get to have a democratic referendum and see it through. They have to have another one until the right vote gets done.

 

So when people start belittling a democracy like Brexit is, then it shows the character of a person they are and frankly I find it rude and offensive. Disagree with it that's fine. Calling a democratic vote a name shows the level of intellect a person has.

Lets try again from a different angle, you do keep going on about Boris lies and Brexit.

FOUR YEARS latter, Boris asked the UK populace via a General Election if he should carry on with his Brexit campaign.

1. Now you tell me, did the populace give him the go ahead to continue...YES or NO....

2. Did the populace back the Lib Dems who would have trashed Brexit outright...YES or NO...

 

 

I can answer that quite easily. NO. The election was not about the EU and Brexit. Brexit was already completed.
