Being a net importer means we need foreign goods. Making trade more difficult will therefore hurt us.
Cut off their nose to spite their face? No chance.
£350 million a day club membership already hurts us and that figure is set to rocket if we remain.0 -

You do not seem to understand.
Of course a business is happy to sell to any willing buyer. The issue is that barriers to trade make these goods more expensive for you and me.societys_child wrote: ȣ350 million a day club membership already hurts us and that figure is set to rocket if we remain.
We do not pay that much. This has been said and proven.
Then how much does whatever we pay earn us in return by being able to trade with 500 million people?

Agreed. But I didn't say it first I was answering someone else.We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.0 -

Yes because it's complete rubbish. Of all the lies and scaremongering this is the worst of the lot, shortly followed by a vote out would mean war in Europe. I put it on par with someone being called a racist because they don't like Curry, simply pathetic name calling.Miss_Samantha wrote: »Is it even arguable that all the racists can't wait to cast a 'leave' ballot?
There are lots of valid reasons to vote remain and there are lots of valid reason to vote leave, name calling and finger pointing isn't one of them.0 -
You should read and understand the words, guys.
No-one claimed that you are a racist if you vote 'leave'.0 -

£350m a DAY?
Even £350m a week has been shown not to be factual, and yet it is still being plastered all over Facebook and on a leave campaign leaflet I received yesterday.0 -
Yes we do.Miss_Samantha wrote: »We do not pay that much. This has been said and proven.
We get less than half back, and we're told what we can spend it on.Then how much does whatever we pay earn us in return by being able to trade with 500 million people?
We will still be able to trade with them.0 -
That may be, but look at the size of their countries to ours...Miss_Samantha wrote: »And how many UK citizens live in the EU? Just a bit fewer.0 -

:eek: No we do not.
Do not take my word for it.
