If we vote for Brexit what happens

Mallinckrodt, like Nissan, Softbank, Wells Fargo and the rest are choosing to invest in Britain knowing full well we have a sound commercial landscape ahead of us.
Nissan have expressed concerns and are chosing to invest after government reassurace. Softbank haven't invested in the UK per say, they've bought a massive technology company that's based in the UK but they could easily move overseas.Looking forwards to Remoaners replacing their misplaced fears with common sense.
That'd be lovely. Will you admit your wrong when you're proven wrong, again?0 -
Fantasy:-We are one of the leading export nations. We've never exported as many cars as now, and the automotive industry is growing rapidly, even Dyson is now setting up a car plant.
If you could be a bit more positive about our sucess and stop seeing us as weak and a nation that doesnt export much, you might find you had a positive outlook for us.
Have you looked at our satellite sector for example? Do you realise it's a world beater, same with pharma.
A good friend visited us yesterday. Her firm is struggling as they import cards from China, however they are now sourcing UK cards and realising they should have done this years ago. This is al excellent news for us
Reality:-

Total remoaner conjecture, more nonsensical hysterics.
Nissan are staying as are the rest, and Bankers wont be setting up in France with a top tax rate of 50%, and masses more regulation on the way with Mifid 2 and Basal 4
All Remaoner argument is built on nonsense0 -
Cut the guff.....what precisely are the rights we lost by joining the EU?Implicit in your question (a remain standard line) is the assertion we have not lost rights to Brussels. In which case you wont be missing anything.
James O'Brien always plays this card, thinking it's a killer, lol.
He claims we make pretty all our own laws and rules, so again I have to conclude from this that we wont miss Brussels then as they do nothing.
And yet............remoaners tell us 'we wont be able to cope with amending 40 years of Brussels law'. So we did cede masses of law making then.
My head spins.
What do you think we should spend the £28 million (or so) per day on once we leave?0 -
Ahem.
Rather than merely including a sensationalist headline would a more-balanced approach of using some of the text contained therein not be more appropriate?Nissan was convinced to stay in the UK with a promise of no tariffs or extra bureaucratic burdens on the car industry after Brexit, the business secretary has finally revealed, prompting fears that sector-by-sector deals could cost the taxpayer “colossal amounts of money”.
Note the highlighted.
Possibilities; NOT certainty.
Like much reported by the media ........ and by pro-remain devoutees, all determined to prolong project fear for as long as possible.
From hard data so far, the "fantasy" appears to lie almost totally with the pro-remain camp.0 -
indeed we may continue to subsidise farmers to continue to flood our towns and villages instead of subsidising farmers to reduce flooding; but it will now be our choice instead of the EU.
The sovereignty issue is overplayed. The UK must've been involved in thousands of treaties and agreements which obligated certain future behaviours on us - each of those involve a certain loss of sovereignty.
Our current choice is to arrange farm subsidies via the EU. We've now decided to do something else instead. The UK was and will remain sovereign throughout.
If you think the UK can make better decisions outside the EU fair enough but agreeing to match EU plans which subsidise farmers to 'flood British Towns and Villages' means the jury will be out on that theory for a while.
We'll still have legislation concerning the maximum power of a vacuum cleaner or what constitutes a class one banana - but 'we'll' decide instead of the EU. Taking Britain back - one square of non-milk fat chocolate at a time.0
