    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You do realise that's just another of the myths that was pedaled / exaggerated by vote leave before the referendum. The accounts have been signed off - and I quote: "The EU’s Court of Auditors regularly “signs off”—in its own words—the reliability of the accounts themselves, and has given them...

    The problem with this argument is this sentence... "before we joined the EU, growth in our exports to the EU was faster than later while other countries continue to enjoy much higher growth in their exports to the EU." Before we joined the EU, was a different time, in different conditions in a...

    So companies currently in the UK who export to the EU (our biggest market) will still have to comply with EU standards for their export business, but if the sell to their home market (the UK) they could well have to work to different standards... and that'll benefit UK manufacturing in what...

    So question 1) is the obvious one... which standards / laws do you want to change? and then 2) You expect us to be able to have our own standards, for our small market?

    You're not including all the non public sector receipts. I met an eBike dealer just last month who has a hire fleet that was funded by an EU grant for his private business.

    If we charge zero on imports, it won't help out manufacturing, it'll keep it the same. Ie we'll be competing on a level playing field (tariff wise) with manufacturers in Europe. However we can do what we like, clearly, but of other countries want to protect / support and grow their...

    Fair play for admitting your concerns. I hope now you can see a tiny amount of why so many have been concerned for some time. The vote was always about, do you want what we've currently got, with the potential to change it, or do you want to leave. The "leave" option has never had a plan, and...

    Lots of great things are done, but lots of great people in this county. However I'm afraid I've seen lots of bad things, by lots of Brits, especially when they are abroad. So whilst I think the Olympics and many other things are great and made me proud... other things, like brexit have made...

    What are you on about... I can be anti lots of things? I can have a lack of optimism about the current direction this country is taking, without being anti trade. They are not related in anyway. I do have a low opinion of this country, that's come about from traveling and racing bikes all...

    UK / EU... both the U's stand for the same thing. A group of countries with no borders, free trade etc etc. You can't say the EU imposes stuff on us and that's a bad things, whilst not acknowledging that London imposes stuff on Scotland and Wales in the same way. So yes its a very similar...
