    Brexit, for once some facts.

    errr... I thought there was more than 2 camps... you're in one, seeming to want EFTA, there is another Brexit camp that wants out of everything, and there is a group that wants to remain as it is. I'm sure there is a group that wants to remain with some reform of the EU, and I'm equally sure...

    I am doing all of the above, and more... (well I've not organised a rally - but I am helping to crowd fund one). Being on here and other places is a good way of understanding the debate, and honestly I do want to be convinced its a positive... so far no one has managed that. I live in hope.

    it may do... but as I keep saying.... you're giving me nothing to think it will do.... and all the experts and people I trust understand these things don't seem very positive. I don't think you realise how bad it could be...

    That's because if you remember... it was promised that A50 would be triggered immediately. That didn't happen, and things do take a while to play out. Only someone with their head in the sand would say that because it didn't happen immediately, we're all going to be ok.

    So ignorant.... you might not realise it, but you are poorer. unless of course you don't buy anything, or haven't realised you're getting less for the money you're paying. Working in the trade allows me to see the impact first hand, on just our little bit of this specific industry, but its...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Lol, so that's the point clearly... What people "think" has no relationship to the reality of the situation. Brexit in a nutshell. People don't realise they ARE European shocker. People don't realise the facts shocker. Vote based on nonsense... is not the way to run anything, let alone a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    err... a) we're Europeans. b) you're not giving your power away. You don't understand it, that's clear. But the UK is very much part of the EU its not some foreign body, we're part of it, an integral important part. I think you'd feel different if the EU HQ was based in the UK, or if the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All very interesting.... so how do you feel knowing that 44% of our exports go to the EU, benefiting us from being inside that fortress. So we and suddenly we're outside, and competing with the EU. How do you think UK business will cope with that? We're also going to loose all the free trade...
