If we vote for Brexit what happens
Comments

But do British voters know what the right deal looks like.
Given the first three things on the agenda are
1) EU and British citizens rights
2) The Irish border
3) The financial obligations
Who can know what the best deal is. A deal will be reached but no one will know if it is the best as everything will be covered in spin from 28 sides.

I find this a really silly anti Brexit story. It is similar to visiting a vegetarian resteraunts and ordering a steak. Just plain stupid.
If you can tap into a current mood chances are the monster that is mainstream media will demand you as part of it's daily diet.
This girl could be invited on to Loose Women; LBC; the One Show.
She's either a bit naive, or quick witted enough to spot a promotional opportunity.
I think we should file it in the anecdotal bucket for now0 -

There may be a lot more negative story's to come. Brexit has not yet happened.
Gfplux, fill yer boots at the Guardian now, there's and old luvvie Remaoner artists saying leaving the EU is the end of British art.
Read the comments below in order of best / recommended. Even Remoaners there are saying this is all getting silly blaming Brexit.
I mean before the EU we had no Shakespeare, Handle, Orwell, DH Lawrence, Henry Moore, The Stones, Hendrix, Shaw, Peter Cooke, Python, and well before Maastritch we surely never had Gary Numan, Pink Floyd, Black Adder and great late 70s early eighties art, but it will all end in 2019.
What the Guardian writer means is his art that no one will willingly buy, is subsidised by the glorious EU, and without this he might actually have to work for a living. Pompous fool.0 -
i think the remoaners should play this record, once a day and sing along to it when they feel insecure about us leaving the EU.
.
.....but then i spent so many nights
just thinking how EU did me wrong.
i grew strong.
i learned how to get along.
and so you´re back from outer space.
i just walked in to find you here
without that look upon your face.
i should have changed that stupid lock.
i should have made you leave your key
if i´d have known for just one second
you´d be back to bother me.
oh now go.
walk out the door.
just turn around now.
´cause you´re not welcome anymore.
weren´t you the one
who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
did you think i´d crumble?
did you think i´d lay down and die?
oh not I“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

Really looking forward to the electric mini.

For those who don't know why Barnier was in Ireland this will inform them.
The issue of the border and peace is very important and I would hope making fun of this would/will be off limits.

"The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier visited the area where Black lives on Friday in a bid to reassure local residents that the European Commission was taking their concerns to heart.
Once Britain leaves, this will become the only land border between the UK and the European Union.
"We want to find solutions without reverting to some kind of hard border," Barnier said, after meeting local farmers and food industry executives in a region that is heavily reliant on exports to Britain.
Barnier also emphasised that he would "protect and preserve" the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which largely ended the three decades of conflict in Northern Ireland in which 3,500 people were killed."There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -

Further on in the article.It is not just the UK that would suffer from a failure to agree a Brexit deal. European car makers sell more of their products in the UK than British manufacturers sell in Europe.0 -

Of course BMW will be doing contingency planning, any company should. BUT...
The company has spent £700m on a state of the art plant in Oxford, 80% of Mini components are from a UK based supply chain and the company's largest overseas market is the USA (trouble posting links today, info from carsalesbase SMMT,and Wikipedia)Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Where were your posts about the many cases of offshoring prior to the referndum, Ford Transit factory for example?
Were these many cases the fault of EU membership?
It must be amazing to live in the EU, no unemployment etc, in which case why do so many EU citizens continue to come to Britain?0
