I am told that the word on the street in Holland and Germany is that they are sick of the Brits complaining and would now rather we just left. They think that most of the repercussions will be felt by us and they are hoping their leaders will stick it to us in Brexit negotiations. The don't care if this hurts them too.

Of course rather like us with the Scots complaining, they don't get a vote.

It would be funny if the thing that unites the EU is a common dislike of England.

Sort of.

The self-loathing of your average Leftist writ large in this post.

I see Yougov, have produced a map from the polling they've done showing which areas are leaning more towards Remain and which ones towards leave.

Interesting that as I suspected London is generally relatively Europhile.

That said samples in each region are probably relatively small so might be best to use some caution in looking at the data down at the lowest level of detail.

Interesting map, thank you.
Scotland mainly pro-Europe as expected.
It's amazing what a good education can do.

Amazing, all that education and yet such a low life expectancy....

Experts in Vitamin D now suggest that Scotland's poor health record is a direct consequence of Vitamin D deficiency particularly in childhood.

I think that your figures are probably an underestimate and that free movement of people could achieve even better returns.
However I see some practical difficulties.

A. I believe such a huge change in the world today would cause world wide wars, probably with deaths in the 1000s of millions
B. this would lead to a collapse in world trade and massive reduction in world GDP


So for the moment I vote against any such experiment
Now, when there is world peace for a few decades, when religion is dead maybe we should start to experiment

Surely we only achieve those by experimenting and breaking down barriers. Brexit would be a regressive step.

1000,0000,000 lost lives are too many to pay.
of course people who supported that madness of the communistic idealistic states may consider it a price worth paying

better to experiment by breaking away from a White Christian club that discriminates against poor developing non white counties and embracing trading with the whole world on a non-discriminatory basis.

why not give it a try as it would be a progressive step which breaks down barriers?

If it goes through, thats over 10million euros alone on transport costs. Not to mention 116000 euros a year on limo drivers' uniforms.

See you've answered your own question.

The only way that the EU could 'punish' the UK is by damaging themselves.
It is of course possible they would do this but why would anyone want to be a member of such an organisation?
Have the EU leaders not discovered Richardo ?....

You are quite prepared to 'damage' the UK because of some perceived "practical difficulties". Perhaps the other 27 see some "practical difficulties" as well.

And I'm presuming you mean Ricardo. As in the economist, and not the engineering company.:)

Given that "communistic idealistic states" were noted for not allowing people to move, I fail to see the connection.

So long as we keep up the barriers to stop them from coming here, eh?:rotfl:
