    That certainly goes way beyond the pale - you should be ashamed of yourself.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Steb, it's a shame that you seem unable to accept the reality of what unplanned large scale immigration can do to a community. It will and does put a strain on just about everything that matters to that community. Just to add to that in many of the towns and villages affected by immigration the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think I said "That is why we need controlled immigration policies to suit?" No one, certainly not me, said that we shouldn't have immigration. Personally, I would go for the one in - one out solution and send a few of our unemployable's off to pastures new. I'm sure, with Tom's help, I could...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It might not have been the wisest of campaigns but for you to say/imply that the flow of immigrants didn't need housing, school places etc and therefore had no impact on the communities they joined is plainly wrong. The truth is that for some, dare I say, less fortunate, the impact of...

    No you have that wrong he was referring to someone more like you? I've never heard you, or Tom come to that, refer to a Tory as a Cynic.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Which way do you think it pans out then? I suspect more reasons to leave, just easier to stay, less hassle - who knows what the guy next door would be like to live with? On the other hand, if she likes a bit of rough then the Brexiter might just sway the balance?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If you continue to wear blinkers , then yes, I can understand the confusion. First we are not just a nation of importers and as your graphs show (#21976KTM) there's not a lot of difference between exports and imports. Ideally, we should be exporting more than we import and that is where Brexit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Britain’s factories benefited from a surge in sales to the EU in the first half of this year as export growth outstripped import growth. The UK still imports far more than it exports leaving the country with a goods deficit amounting to €53bn (£48bn) for the six months to June in its trade with...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In many ways it's irrelevant. The pound against other currencies goes up and down most days of the week, as do Stocks and Shares. However, with Brexit that brought uncertainties and it went down. OK, imports, some, not all, are more expensive, but our exports are cheaper, so we sell more -...

    Not the answer to your question. However, you might want to reflect on it? "Sterling’s fall following the ERM exit did trigger an export recovery, says Kit Juckes at Société Générale. It plunged nearly 35 per cent against the dollar in the six months after Black Wednesday, driving up export...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We were very busy in those days both gaining and indeed losing an Empire and I can certainly understand the concept of the ruling classes. Different in my days though and I did spend a few years with the Household Cavalry - we got on well, very well, I enjoyed every minute of it.
