  • There's no need to feel sorry.
    Kid's prospects are at last brighter than they have been for many years.
    For example, your beloved "most prosperous single market on earth" is a declining part of global trade; the UK wants to expand and improve trade, not contract like the EU.

  • The Swiss are regretting EU equivalence:
    Switzerland’s banking lobby on Thursday called on the government to end talks with the European Union about continued EU budget contributions unless Brussels recognises Swiss finance rules as equivalent with EU laws.

    More and more countries are seeing examples of EU domineering and are taking a stand. :T

    Sir James Dyson. Inventor. Net worth estimated at £7.8 billion.
    Employs approx. 3,500 in the UK and plans on doubling that number.

    Would you care to explain your credentials by comparison to explain why we should instead pay any heed to your opinions?

    It's just his vision, a blueprint. He'll be out of office in 2019 anyway.
    And as per your article, there's already push-back.

    And yes, we will regret leaving that.

    you think Junker is alone in this crusade? there will be a team behind developing this plan him his successor picking up the reigns.

    Yes, push back, what do you think those countries will do when the EU starts imposing their 'vision' on them? He said yesterday you are either with them, or out

    There have always been voices for further integration, nothing new there.
    There will be no imposition of anything.
    An example : Countries like Sweden, Czech Rep, Poland... 'should' have adopted the Euro ages ago according to EU rules. They haven't, and there's no plan for them to do so.

    Whatever the EU wants to do now we don't have any say and just get to go along with it. Fantastic, eh?

    It will be more difficult but not impossible and no different to non EU citizens now.

    As someone with experience with this stuff, what holds up the queue in many instances is the language barrier. As long as the documents are correct in most cases its pretty quick.

    Why do you hate migration so much?




    You must hate Justin Trudeau, the poster boy for the left, with his point based immigration system and paying a 3rd of what we do in foreign aid as a proportion of GDP.

    Remainers want to throw hands up in the air at every challenge.


    I've always argued we need to innovate rather than panic, that change breeds innovation.
    Dyson is setting up his own Universities to train up the next generation of engineers. Far better than hysterically claiming life will end once immigration is subject to better management.
