By %/GDP countries with higher debt than the UK are: Greece, Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and  France.

And what should we conclude from that? I'll spare you....

A far more relevant statistic than simple debt/capita.

And what do you conclude from that? Don't tell me; you're in charge of the housekeeping ?

I buy stuff from China on ebay, delivered, rather than expensive EU goods.

I don't have a trade agreement with China. IMO trade is trade, simples.

 

That can't be possible! According to Tomacht, you have to get on a 'plane and go to the country of origin to purchase.

The EU parliament is elected but expected to do what it is told - no real power - the most expensive limp wrist in Europe.

This coming from the crew that wanted (want) the UK parliament under the thumb of Royal Prerogative.

Oh, so that's the forum Hard Brexiteer plan for the future of UK international trade. Stick everything on ebay. Welcome to the Noddy School of Economics.

The best solution to not understanding is to just make something up.

The limp wrist appears to be doing well, according to Bloomberg traders are turning to the Euro as flight to stability and safety. despite the Euro being held back by QE and low interest rates it keeps rising, most economists that I have read predict a bright future for the Euro. I am a remainer but I wont get involved in an emotional discussion about brexit which may possibly be cancelled at the last minuet.

The Northern Ireland issue is a problem, made more so because the UK..PM relies on the DUP to stay afloat.

I really dont know how that can be solved.....At the moment.

Can I repeat. If the republic want to guarantee their future they need to leave the EU, become part of the UK and join the greatest adventure opportunity since  Christ was a carpenter.

"since  Christ was a carpenter". ---And he could possibly get a start at McAlpines

 

I would like to see the Brexit go through aright.... but to be realistic, Ireland are not about to do that. They are more tied up with the EU than Britain..... so how do you stop the flow of goods/people/anything -when you have it written (in Blood) "The Good Friday agreement"  there will never again be a border separating Ireland, the first step to reunification. And the only people that do not want that is the people (DUP) that keep this current government afloat .

I am not sure if this is the right thread to post this in but I read this on the BBC News website this morning.

Perhaps Germany and the EU will have a bigger problem than Brexit to worry about soon.

And the only people that do not want that is the people (DUP) that keep this current government afloat .

The Good Friday Agreement  is what makes this possible because it has nothing to do with the EU. It is an Agreement between the British and Irish Governments and as a result if both are in agreement it can be rescinded and to cover your well made point continues along the path of reunification under a "British and Irish United Kingdom" flag. All the pertinent realities of the  Good Friday Agreement can be embraced by a new Union flag.

In 2008 Ireland rejected the Lisbon Treaty however the EU, applied the politics of fear and kept them voting until they got the result they wanted (Remainers refer to this process as Democracy) since the treaty had to be ratified by all member States before it could go into effect. Southern  Ireland is not overwhelmingly EU.

Your argument supposes that the DUP would stop this happening in Parliament. This supposes the other Parties would not vote this through. I don't think that's true.

I do however agree it's a big problem.

I see this as the simplest way forward in terms of process but it's unlikely to be acceptable in political and perhaps emotional terms.
