Years of debate and you still fail to grasp the basic facts.

HMG annual spend is about £850bn.
Net EU. contributions are about £10bn...the best investment ever.
(study Smith article in todays Sunday Times).

What have the EUSSR done for us.ROBERT POLATAJKO 17 Jan 2020 10:35PM£15 billion annual EU contributions. £90 billion annual trade deficit with the EU.70% fishing grounds lost to the EU, opportunity cost £5 billion a year.£10 billion annual CAP opportunity cost.They tell us what to do with climate change, environment rules,business rules, vat.They tell us who to let into our country from the EU , costing us billions through low wage, low skill immigration of their unemployed to us.They tell us how to apply trade tariffs and regulations, for their benefit,not our benefit yet they get instant and easy access to the City.We plough money into the European Investment Bank and they tell us when we leave we can whistle for our investment.They want to replace nato yet we help them with military support and intelligence..Did we get any benefit from Eu membership?We will certainly benefit from organising our economy for our benefit.

Smith implies that the EU. membership has been great for the UK.

Well he's a clown then.

Great artical in todays Sunday Times by Economist David Smith.

He adapts the Monty Python theme 'what have the Romans ever done for us' and analysing what the EU. done for us.
GDP per capita after inflation, ration of trade volumes to GDP.

49.3% of UK goods exports go to EU. in 2018.
40.6% of UK services exports to EU. in 2018.
£297bn UK exports to EU. in 2018.

Smith predicts that in 10, 15 or 20 years time we shall rejoin the EU.but next time it will be on less favourable terms.We shall be forced to adopt the Euro.

Smith implies that the EU. membership has been great for the UK.

And Majorca, Utricky. I once had a pint of Watney's Red Barrel there, long after it had gone off sale in the UK.

A starting point for the BBC to get back some objectivity: every time they refer to a Party in a European election as far right, they must refer to another as far left. It makes logical sense and is factually correct.

But in fact, the BBC never, ever refer to anyone or anything as far left.

Itd be nice if Wetherspoons opened some pubs in places which the UK owned abroad, im thinking Florida, Costa del sol & Tenerife for starters.

PC the choice for most was immigration OR economy & most right minded people thought that the effects of unchecked immigration was more of a threat to themselves & their families than the unbelievable risks peddled by remain on the economy & our decision is now being endorsed by German Bankers!

It's my understanding that if immigrants have a criminal record or have acquired one in the UK they will not be granted leave to remain post Brexit. We dont care how many Michelin stars you've got, just do one.

Is it too simple for the intellectual chimps to get their heads round, all brains & no common sense.

I am going to Wetherspoons on Friday.

Might see you there!

What place could be more appropriate for the great celebration!

Bob I give you good odds but you have no chance in hell for independence and especially a referendum before 5 years time. 100.00 is on, name your charity.

[bargainbob] 26/1/2020 12:12

K38 , you walking away from the odds you quoted earlier ?
Though i feel bad for you , remember i see all the internal polling data .

I am going to Wetherspoons on Friday. Let's have a little fun. But this isn't over yet. And if it is good enough for JRM it is good enough for me.

Excerpt from yesterday's article just sums the situation up nicely."The most interesting person I spoke to at the award ceremony in Berlin was Andrew Gundlach, scion of one of Germany's most famous banking families, the Arnholds, and now President and co-CEO of Bleichroeder LLC. He is a shrewd man with a deep understanding of the geopolitical scene.Did he think the outlook is grim for post-Brexit Britain? He laughed at the question.'The whole point of Brexit was to align with the high growth of America and China and not low-growth Europe,' he said.What sends cold sweat running down the spine of European policy makers, he added, is a vibrant, talent-attracting economy right on Europe's doorstep, with rule-books more liberal than the EU's."

Watched Farty Towels recently, episode 1 with commentary by Cleese. An eye opener into comedy construction (as it used to be).

His favourite bit is my favourite bit where sybil tells basil, who's just sat down for a rest and a bit of music, to turn that racket off. 'Racket? That's Brahm's fifth racket!'.

An episode a night next week. They're on a remastered set of discs if anyone's interested.

Top man of BBC said will resign ..That's a good start but it's not enough. Some ideas..BBC must replace all "stars" in your eyes, cut salaries from the top to the bottom and so on.. or go private. We pay their salaries we are their bosses.

[minerve 2] 26/1/2020 11:55

LOL

Yes, it is a cage full of Brexit gammons and chimps. The IQ level is barely reading off of flat line.

@pvb

LOL

Absolutely. Good to see you post here. Please stick around and enjoy the circus.

Two not very good news articles for Lloyds in money mail today.
Nearly half of banks policy makers expected to vote for a rate cut on Friday.
Lloyds bill over HBOS could climb to over £500m.
Does not bode well for share price
Interested in your comments.

Reading this board today is far more entertaining than BBC or Channel 4.
