I just don't get "Le French".
We send over a carefully selected team of our best lager drinkers last week, to prop up sales of "le beer", and they still seem unhappy...something about broken chairs and tables.0 -

But lets not get facts get in the way of ill educated, ignorant, hyperbolic nonsense.
The USA nor any other of the countries you have listed, choose to share either their passport or their sovereignty with their trading partners. I would have thought you would have known that.
But yes, we need to be more like them and build more trading relations.0 -
I argue we will be even more of a safe haven beacon when free of the EU bear trap.
I argued this after the last crash and got told I must be on drugs.
The point is to always wonder that if investors are put off Britain, what's the alternative? Italy? France? China? The US? Japan? They all have risks and Germany will be the EU payroll, so investing there holds massive risk
Britain will remain a safe haven, somewhere investors trust, and in such an uncertain world trust is everything.
If we exit, the remains will soon realise all their fears were just phantoms
Facts seem to scare the brexiteers as they have no answer to most of the questions put to them. Rather than answer, they drag out an obscure quote from the past.
The prospect of leave winning on the day frightens the remain camp so lets scare the leavers some more, not with speculation but facts.
The pound has already dropped on the year of the campaign 13%, from 1.44 to 1.26. So my holiday in September will cost me £233 more as we stand today.
The housing market has already stalled as buyers hold back, locally prices are dropping. Why because Brexit is bad for Britain.
Businesses are inserting Brexit clauses in their property dealing as they are cautious about committing if the worst happens.
Corbyn at PMQ's:-Will you, (Cameron) take this opportunity to condemn the opportunism of 57 of your colleagues who are pro-Leave - these are members who backed the bedroom tax, backed cutting disability benefits and slashing care for the elderly - who suddenly have now had a Damascene conversion to the anti-austerity movement? Do you have any message for them? Do you have any message for them at all?:rotfl:
As if we could ever trust this bunch of loons with our future!
Also Farage thinks he's going places:-

How to keep your EU citizenship after Brexit.British nationals are set to lose out, but there are some workarounds

Reciprocal tariffs are likely to do more harm to the UK than to rEU, because there is very little the EU currently buys from the UK that cannot be sourced internally – Minis are built in Austria as well as Oxford; Jaguar is building a new factory in Slovakia. Even Scotch whisky will lose its protected status.

it would indeed be a tough job to choose between two loonies like Farage and Corbyn : I guess I'd favour Farage as he has no record of supporting the killers IRA or of hating UK institutions.0 -

Nearly as big a whopper as promising to put more money into the NHS after Brexit'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

Doesn't matter anymore Stevie.
If the Great British Public chooses to be fooled by snake oil merchants like Gove/Boris/IDS/Farage/Patel, I wish them all the best. They'll get the government they deserve.
If we brexit, I won't shed a single tear when our little england brexiteers will start losing their jobs, benefits, homes and livelihoods over the coming years. They were warned and chose not to listen.Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0
