So much for 'Brexit' being the saviour of our economy !!!

"From little acorns, mighty oaks do grow" !!!

 

We're not even out of the EU yet you muppet.

 

Only 18 days to go, and those job losses can't be replaced in that short time, and given that the economy is going down instead of up, its unlikely to happen anytime this year !!!

 

But the current state of our economy is all happening under EU rule, what planet do you live on

 

Job losses in the manufacturing sector here in the past three years have little or nothing to do with the EU.

 

Bit bloody late for that, unless you want to come and squash me?

 

Easy
Peasy
Japanesy

 

Thank goodness that on this forum there is more ‘free speech’ than one gets on others.
I feel I can talk a bit ‘straighter’ here as I am not one for beating around the bush.

Mind you.
Thinking about it.
That could depend on what kind of bush it is!

 

God Irm.
Come on Girl.
I thought you had more sense than that.

You have less hope than Bob Hope.
And he is dead!

 

I can see you are in a silly mood today Irm.
Still.
If it keeps you away from depression, then I am happy to see you in that mode.

 

You're jumping to conclusions though. Britain was an important member for the other west european countries which have shared interests and concerns. Their position in the EU is weakened without the UK in it. Besides, a lot of rules, deals and agreements were made in a particular way, that depended partly on the UK being an EU member, and if a country leaves that costs a lot of changing, time, effort and money. Now, considering a lot of both Brits and other european citizens are actually quite unsure getting out will bring the UK what their brexit leaders are promising, and it guaranteedly costing a lot of money, time and effort to sort this all out, this seems the primary reason. More so than that the rest of the EU is sad and disgruntled they can't leech of the UK anymore

 

You hit the nail on the head Asmo, in they wont be able to touch our money any more and that's the bit that hurts them the most, our money will be there no more.

 

Oh yeah righto SnoozeCruise come over here and say it. oh yeah that's right.... You can't hahaha

 

Hey Girl.
Make it worth my while, and I would get to Bavaria no probs!

 

I'm hearing a lot of talk and no follow through.

 

You don't have to misportray what I said to make your own point.

 

Probably best

 

Well-said. We have a similar problem over here with the UN, who's budget we're expected to pay 25% of, even though we only have 1% of the vote. In addition, nearly every other nation represented there tends to consistently vote against us. I'd like to see the whole plaza emptied, collapsed, and our membership withdrawn. Those folks that work there can move elsewhere, and most of us will be just fine without them.

 

I must have worded it wrong if it gets taken that way. To be clear: the reason the other countries didn't want the UK out (it seems a lot more Europeans are more ok with it now) is because of the difficulties it causes, like I explained. Not because their countries (or the EU in general) were supposedly leeching on the UK and wanted to continue that as you and Barry seem to wanna conclude.

 

Just how likely do any of you think it was ever going to be you would need a visa to travel between UK and Germany
