If we vote for Brexit what happens

The point is ....our Brexit will have to be paid for to keep such as Nissan here. This will require Govmt intervention on a scale not seen for years...by the way a very old Labour view.....i.e. Govmt intervenes to support jobs and infra structure to keep businesses here. What makes me laugh is if Miliband had introduced such policies....there would have been an outcry from our conservative bretheren.Total remoaner conjecture, more nonsensical hysterics.
A pattern we will see again and again! Other manufacturers, aerospace etc will ask for the same...... then there are the farmers and the fishing industry, research sciences etc. All will all be subsidised in the coming years. What about regional development funds....will our Govmt continue and keep these at the same level?
The tax payer will foot the bill. It's tragic......:mad:
....but Dyson is producing an electric car....well whopeee **ite0 -

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.
I accept you don't care about sovereignty ; that's your right although I do care a lot.
I hope and expect that farming subsidisy will be totally reformed ; huge sums subsidise the wrong people and the wrong activities. Land use is very important in reducing/prevent flooding and needs science based solutions that can be applied in the UK context.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.
no idea what you are talking about.0 -
Nope, what really IS tragic is those pro-remain acolytes who refuse point-blank to see the EVIDENCE that remaining within the confines of the EU is something that the UK has paid dearly for over the last 40 years or more.The tax payer will foot the bill. It's tragic......:mad:
Some of us would rather fund Brexit than the EU.
These same pro-remainers continually ask for evidence of whatever tickles their (generally stilted) imagination at the time - only to ignore the evidence that has already (and mostly repeatedly) been posted.
THAT is tragic.0 -
I haven't seen any compelling evidence yet. Lots of very strained spin, but no hard evidence that Brexit will be a success.
Because it's not possible at this stage, because we've no idea what Brexit is going to be.
What I have seen, is a lot of costs go up, and a lot of companies demanding government assurance, and a few companies starting to move away already.0 -

Moaning because the govt is implementing interventionist economic policies that you would normally support.0 -
Did you not read Rugged's post on the Social chapter and all the workers rights the EU has introduced? You do know that tories such as Priti Patel plans to slash these rights?
Our workers rights are the best in Europe, beyond EU norms. Whitehall is renowned for copper plating EU rules and directives.
I have every confidence we the British people can look after ourselves, it blows the mind to think we cannot0 -

Then try:
http://www.theweek.co.uk/63635/human-rights-act-will-be-scrapped-government-confirmsScrapping the act will break the formal link between British courts and the European Court of Human Rights and stop the act being "misinterpreted", say the Conservatives. They argue foreign nationals who have committed serious crimes are able to use the freedoms guaranteed under the Human Rights Act to justify remaining in the UK. They have also expressed "mounting concern" at Strasbourg's attempt to overrule decisions made by parliament and the courts, such as lifting the ban on prisoners' voting rights or banning whole-life sentences for serious crimes.
After reading that, wonder at the cost of deporting (just for one example from many, mind) so-called "cleric" or "preacher" Abu Qatada - because of the Human Rights Act.
Eight years and £1.7 million.
Compelling enough for you?0
