Yellow Fever 3,783 Posted September 10, 2020 I never realized that one of the positives of Brexit would be for the UK to be seen as rogue state, breaking it's word and international treaties, being untrustworthy and shifty with the even the USA (Dems and Repubs.) warning that such actions will destroy any chance of a US FTA. It seem the Irish have a 'special' relationship that 'Trumps' ours. Who'd have guessed that ! One really has to wonder what the negatives are if these are the positives.

How recently have you informed yourself about the advance of the federalist ideal? How aware are you of the true intentions of the Franco-Germany hegemony? Have you properly taken into account the cost of the institution that calls itself "Brussels?" Everything from massive and unaccountable costs inputs which make our own MP's scandal of a few years ago seem like the local vicar pocketing the cake money from the village fete to the nonsense of hundreds of MP's, secretaries and all the others who sit comfortably on that particular ill-designed band wagon regularly upping sticks to move to Strasbourg from Brussels and back again ... bothy expensively maintained buildings with a constant money sucking need? Have you taken a great deal of interest recently in the recent in-fighting about financing the PIGS countries due to their high Covid infections? Did you like the hastily convened compromise that seemed to leave nobody that happy? Or the massive debt that the "newer" Eastern European entrants have been building up even prior to the pandemic. What did you think of the Dutch attitude to this? Have you considered that the UK's contribution will escalate enormously in order to finance all this (if ever possible) whilst Germany benefits from a 50% reduction in the VAT rate it has always received in order to assist it's export potential? I could go on (and on.) I'm not getting at you, I promise. Just asking and would appreciate your views on these very significant matters. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/faq/14/summary-of-allowances Edited September 10, 2020 by BroadstairsR 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,760 Posted September 10, 2020 Stay in the EU?! Here is a list of all the brexits you definitely voted for. No downsides brexit. Cake and eat it brexit. Norway Swiss style soft brexit. Theresa May's hard brexit. Boris Johnson's softer brexit. Not Boris Johnson's brexit. Breaking International law brexit. I am sure there were a few more in there. About time you woke up to these conmen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is all about what values you live by. Not "getting your own way" is far too simplistic. It's really about what is important in life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted September 10, 2020 No downsides brexit. Cost. The costs of EU membership to the UK is £15bn gross (0.06% of GDP) – or £6.883 billion net. See UK government spending. (UKIP claim that the cost of EU membership in total amounts to £83bn gross if you include all possible costs, such as an ‘estimated’ £48bn of regulation costs – or £1,380 per head [1]. The ONS has estimated a net contribution cost of £7.1 bn. Cake and eat it brexit. ? Norway Swiss style soft brexit. Cost again Theresa May's hard brexit. Cost yet again Boris Johnson's softer brexit. IT'S NOT FINALIZED YET Not Boris Johnson's brexit. IT'S NOT FINALIZED YET Breaking International law brexit. Yep ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) So you know the cost of membership is 0.06% of GDP. And the cost of breaking our word as a nation is ...... ??? That’s OK as long as it’s less than 0.06% then?

They are simply twisted and bitter little children who are having a prolonged tantrum because they didn't get their own way Fortunately the grown ups in the room are having nothing to do with the proposed “sovereign illegality” - Gove getting his head handed to him by the other EU Country foreign ministers, Tory grandees saying “no way this legislation passes” So can Boris blackmail his backbencher to pass this? Perhaps. And I have said “Parliament is Sovereign” but the Government is not the same as Parliament so it’s again up to MPs to show us what their commitment to laws, treaties and morality is.

SwindonCanary 455 Posted September 10, 2020 In case you are interested the reason I want out is - Saving all that money £ Control of Borders = decide for ourselves who can come in, and not be overruled by EU judges Control of Borders = A fairer system based on skills not what passport they hold Free to trade with the whole world = The EU stops us trading with allies like Australia and New Zealand plus up and coming economies like Brazil & India We can make our own laws= The laws should be made by people we elect, it's more democratic EU would no longer regulate trade costs= Britain would be able to to set Value Added Tax and other regulations for itself. All of this could potentially save British households £933 per year Less regulation in the workplace= would create more jobs, and lower migration could increase wages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
