If we vote for Brexit what happens

Poor Carl. He's expecting more government funding.

And get this !

Some politician (can't remember his name now, Camer-something) offered Carl a supposed say in matters.

If Camer-something had known just how deep the divisions run in UK today, he might have chosen to keep quiet.

He was probably running scared of the UKIP vote, and nationalism from our Northern neighbours.

Simply buy an alternative product. Called consumer choice.

Ah, but some posters here would still disagree.
Because they won't be making the right choice, will they?


The vehement anti-Brexit nonsense over these past few pages is no great surprise.
It's a bitter pill to swallow, this thing called democracy being put into action.

It's as though Project EU and Project Globalization are 2 conflicting roadmaps to the future.

It feels like we are awash with choice now.

Take basic labour. We panic about losing access to EU labour, but there's at least a billion people on the planet who will work to earn just enough to survive.

On a (slight) side note.

Tim Farron on the radio today reckons that we could just abandon A50 at any time and go back into the EU, as though nothing had happened.

Is he right? It feels like there has been a significant realization by the EU that the UK really isn't up for this closely-integrated-future some of the EU hierarchy are pushing for.

Surely our hand is weakened now, if we were to remain? We would be assigned into the lower tier of this 2 speed Europe they are talking about.

Would you still be happy to be the 3rd biggest contributor and yet in the lower speed group?

€600m of investment there into just one of those, so these three huge companies disagree with you.

Has there ever? The EU dream has never been any different. Though you need to understand that the European mentality comes from suffering wars for over 200 years, and constantly changing borders.

BUCHAREST (Romania), March 29 (SeeNews) - French tyre maker Michelin said on Wednesday it plans to invest 60 million euro ($65.1 million) in its metallic cord factory in Zalau, in northwestern Romania, in order to increase the factory's output by 50% by 2019.
The investment will help create 140 jobs and boost output to 60,000 tonnes of metallic cord per year, Michelin said in a press release.

140 jobs for 60 million french investment?
wouldnt it be cheaper for to pay them and stay at home?

Months of training, preparation, flag waving and assurances by The Sun that this time - Britannia will rule the waves. That this time a flat back four and a nimble lone striker imbued with dogged English pluck will carry us through to an injury time golden goal - completely turned over within 90 seconds by the Germans confounding our midfield, ploughing through our defence, and hammering the ball through the legs of our bewildered keeper.

No, it's not the last / next / every World Cup, it's the opening couple of minutes of Britain's Brexit negotiations.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-article-50-angela-merkel-rejects-theresa-may-parallel-talks-a7656506.html

Angela Merkel has dealt an instant blow to Theresa May's plan for Brexit by rejecting the PM's plan for trade talks to take place at the same time as Article 50 secession negotiations.

Britain will be put into the slow lane for discussions about any future trade deal with the EU following an intervention by the German Chancellor, who intervened just hours after the UK invoked Article 50.

And there's another two years of this. By the time we actually leave German removal vans will be packing up the Crown Jewels and emptying the stately homes of the nation...

Well, of course, each company to their own.

I remember we looked at Polish resources, but there is such scale available now in China.

In a small radius, there were at least 16 different suppliers for the power regulators. That's just one component.

Then there's the price. Even with shipping it's just much cheaper to source from the East.

I still maintain there's a vast amount of choice out there.
