Sorry to hear that.
It's a disgrace he's got PPR'd.

haha, now that's the kind of fact I expect from the exit camp.

UK exports

Germany 9.8% - Australia 1.2% never mind the rest of the EU...

And a good deal of Australian imports will be necessities that are not reproduceable in Europe. Eg coking coal, higher grade iron ore, soon LNG etc.

Somewhere in London there is the back of a fag packet with a plan on it.

Or on 'Spoons beer mats...

People who don't know why they voted leave and didn't have the vaguest clue what might be planned really don't like being called idiots. Maybe he should've been nicer about it - I prefer poorly educated and misinformed.

I like the argument that the 'poorly educated' should have been presented with a plan by nanny because they were too stupid to think about what a leave vote meant.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that but it was not an excuse to act like a tw*t.

I guess if you hate the UK institutions and our democracy then I can see why you are happy with the EU.

So you finally realise that some people are actually ok with having certain laws made by the larger union to which they belong? I would even propose that if not for the media telling people how bad EU laws are, most people (and by most I mean higher than 90%) would not have realised which were EU laws and which were UK laws and would not have cared either way.

They started caring when the media started telling them to.

What is a PPR and how does one know who is PPRd?

So you want out of the EU because being in the EU doesn't really affect you, since most of your sales are elsewhere?

To be fair, your business sounds like it's in quite the minority, and can really take advantage of the tanking pound.

For companies for which EU countries make up a large portion of their trade (I've heard from a few where it's about 50%), whilst business is on the up right now (due to the favourable exchange rate), they are all worried that if there are trade restrictions (like customs paperwork) or tariffs, it'll completely sink them. Admittedly, these are niche companies that sell mostly to end customers with lowish transaction values (<£50), so the additional bureaucracy has a large % overhead.

We are in a niche marketplace and most of our sales to the EU are lowish value to end users. Most of those end users are unlikely to have to pay import duties/fees if that becomes a result of us exiting as most will be below the thresholds. So I don't really see the bulk of EU sales being affected.

Many of the small business owners I know have the same outlook.

I do not hate the institutions, just some of the things they have done both to our country and others. If taking back control means more wars, more attacks on the poor and more environmental destruction then yes I do not want it.
