christh: They claim it's per week not per day. Anyhow it is about 180 million per week as that would equate to about the 9 billion which is never returned to the UK from the 19 billion we pay in.

And given that EU legislation is passed by the unelected EU council what difference do you think the UK taking control of the EU presidency will make? I don't believe we can pass any legislation anymore than any other country..

Christ

I will still exist if robots were part of a large workforce. I will grow my own food. I'm investing in fields abroad. Simples

Some in here are completely ignorant of the facts.

The £350 million a day cost to EU is a lie, is not accurate.

UK will take the presidency of the EU in 2017.

Immigration is one of the big issues in the referendum, but if we want to continue with the free trade agreement we would have to sign up to something similar to Norway. In which case we need to still allow free movement within the EU but we can no longer have any influence within the EU. Or are we assuming the EU will grant us special privileges rather than make an example of us to deter other countries following suit.

We are not currently required to allow non EU nationals citizenship yet we did allow 292,000 into the UK for some reason ( In 2015:

Net migration from EU was: 251,000 people

Net migration from the rest of the world was: 292,000 people

So assuming we could cap the number of EU migrants we are for some reason unable or unwilling to cap foreign migration. So we could end up with not being able to cap EU migration because it will be a condition of allowing free trade with the EU just like Norway, and we would continue to not cap non EU migration because of the reasons we don't cap it now..

Does anyone disagree with this logic because stopping migration was one of the main reasons I want to vote Brexit (that and it's completely un-democratic of course).

....and you will not exist you will be replaced by a robot.

All debt in total will come to zero. All trade balances in total will come to zero.
A lends to B £100.
There is a debt of £100 and a receivable of £100. It will always come out to zero.

Also don't worry about the immigrants. The future is robots. FOXCONN sack 6000 staff and build robots. McDonald's are buying robot arms at a cost of $28000 each and sacking people because they don't want to pay the future wage increases.

Robots will get more advance in the next 10 years

IFS warns Brexit could add an extra two years to austerity

By Nicolas Shamtanis, 07 Jun 2016

Britain could face an additional two years of austerity should voters elect to quit the European Union (EU) next month, the Institute for Fiscal Studies recently said in a report.

The IFS, Britain’s leading think tank on issues concerning tax and spending, recently concluded that Brexit could push the country into a deep recession, forcing the ruling Conservative party to enact even more austerity measures. According to their calculations, a vote to leave the EU could drag UK GDP lower by up to 3.5% by 2020, resulting in a £20 billion to £40 billion blow to public finances.

The warning is considered a major blow to the Vote Leave campaign, which is playing catch-up to the Remain camp.

Alphorn


Here look at the debt

[informant100] 13/6/2016 11:33

I'm voting Leave but I don't mind a recession because my job is recession proof. Also 10 years lost won't affect me because I'm still young.

[jotoha2] 13/6/2016 11:31

Actually the debt is greater since Osborne took over , and that is a fact , we all know labour messed up , but Osborne has not achieved !

[alphorn] 13/6/2016 11:27

"whole world debt is getting bigger".

How is that???

Must come to zero for the 'whole world'. ;)

[jotoha2] 13/6/2016 11:26

Christh , it's called a market driven economy , and if you are unable to make a profit ,and pay a proper wage then you should not be in business , that's capitalism for you, if you want subsidies then that is another world altogether . £2 for a pint is fine if that is the what the market dictates !

[informant100] 13/6/2016 11:22

Osborne needs to go , what a mess has he created , our debt is bigger since he took over.


You think it would be less under Labour? Don't make me laugh. They caused the mess and the tories are sorting it out. Also isn't USA's debt getting bigger? Blame Osborne for that aswell.

In fact the whole world debt is getting bigger, it's macro-economics

[informant100] 13/6/2016 11:18

corporate stocks, banks and housebuilders were under pressure on Brexit worries. Lloyds and Barclays were the biggest fallers in the banking sector while Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon and Barratt Developments led housebuilders lowWe

The above means house prices will go lower and banks won't be lending much money. Rates will go up and stringent tests more difficult than today will have to be passed. Also lack of jobs will mean we will be poorer in the short term I.e 10 years. But hey 2026 we will be better off. House prices back to normal and a immigration points system.

[christh] 13/6/2016 11:01

jotoha2,
....."farmers should pay a proper wage for work undertaken...."



I am sure you can afford to pay £2 per pint of milk

[jotoha2] 13/6/2016 10:50

Christh , class system is here and will never leave Britain , greedy farmers should pay a proper wage for work undertaken , it's dog eat dog , and the sooner we leave the Eu the better for all concerned. Osborne needs to go , what a mess has he created , our debt is bigger since he took over.

Morning Euro Markets Bulletin
------------------------------------------------------------
UK equities declined on Monday as concerns over a possible Brexit grew ahead of next week's European Union referendum.
The pound fell as low as $1.4159 in early trade, its weakest since 18 April, amid rising fears that Britain could vote to leave the EU in next Thursday's referendum.

"It appears that the Brexit fears that have, for most of the past few months, plagued the pound are beginning to really take hold of European trading as a whole, leading to the dire scenes the markets have seen since the middle of last week," said Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex.

Investors are also cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Thursday. However, most economists expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged after a weak non-farm payrolls report and a dovish speech from chair Janet Yellen.

Retail sales rose 10% year-on-year in May, missing forecasts for a 10.1% increase and following a 10.1% gain the previous month.

Meanwhile, oil prices declined after Baker Hughes Inc. said the number of rigs drilling for oil in the US rose by three in the week ended June 10, the second straight weekly increase.

Brent crude fell 0.69% to $50.19 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate dipped 0.88% to $48.64 per barrel at 0856 BST.

Among corporate stocks, banks and housebuilders were under pressure on Brexit worries. Lloyds and Barclays were the biggest fallers in the banking sector while Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon and Barratt Developments led housebuilders lower.

Christh - don't waste your time on porty a mouthy egotist.
His only pleasure is in winding up others.

[informant100] 13/6/2016 10:23

I agree with the above post aswell. People on here have the assumption that a brexit will make the housing market crash and then they can buy a house. But how can you afford one when banks will tighten up more than the Lehman crash. Unless you guys on this board have £80,000 in your bank accounts. But reading some of the posts, the grammar mistakes and shocking spelling. I don't see anyone affording a house.


10 years lost that's what we are going to get.

[christh] 13/6/2016 09:58

portside1,

still my advise stands.

You will be poor,the Upper classes will be richer and dominate the country if we leave Europe.This what it is.

The people who want to leave want to bring back the Class system.

Upper class=those who have everything, dominate the country
Working class=those who exist to serve the masters of the Upper class


THIS WILL SPLIT THE COUNTRY, NOT EUROPE

EUROPE PROMOTE DEMOCRACY

The rights we gained from the laws in Europe will dissappear and any rights
that the people got from the European laws will be lost.


VOTE TO REMAIN


....and by the way Barclays is in Europe and will affect its business, very bad if we leave!!!!!!!!!!!

[qantas] 13/6/2016 09:58

No brexit discussions only BARC.

[portside1] 13/6/2016 09:37

i have lived in the country all my life know many farmers most are ok but the big farmers are lazy do nothing .
and yes most of the locals including the youths worked In the fields now they can not the big farms have gang leaders who only employ migrants has the gang leader is a migrant .
THE FARMERS ARE THE PROBLEM. NOT THE LOCALS.


NOW BACK TO BARCS JES MUST GIVE OUT SOME BETTER NEWS ON JULY 27TH

[clond] 13/6/2016 09:18

I think we should keep this board to barclays. This decision will split the nation and quite rightly. The poor thing is it is 15 years too late. We decided to free trade Europe but everything sincentre we should of also had the chance to vote on. That delay has brought factors that has made this vote extremely close to make a judgement call.
