All I did was ask anyone, yes anyone please tell me ONE advantage for Britain of leaving the the EU and we get post after post about the organisation Britain is leaving.
Britain will not be a member of the EU, get over it and concentrate on the Brexit dividend or bonus or whatever it is called.
As the Elephant said to the Poacher
Just get on with it.
Did you miss it? Purposely or unintentionally?
"Theresa May has said that Brexit means there will be more money available to spend on the NHS and schools."

I confess my desire to Brexit was inspired by a genuine need to help them further their EU ambitions
But in reality, I don't know if we were ever a good fit. In outlook, we sit somewhere mid-Atlantic, with as much American influence as European.0 -

Yet again, you distort what I am saying. I have absolutely no problem with immigration so please do not label me with those who do. The problem that people like you have is that you automatically lump together anyone who does not share your rose tinted view of the EU or the world in general and call them racists or insult them in other ways.
Free movement is fine in principle but in practice it fails because it cannot work when 800,000 move in one direction and none in the other.
You assume that some of the value of the work done is transferred back to the country that trained migrants. Fine if they do that but frequently they don't.
As for the issue of federal taxation, you should address the question of why it doesn't happen and never will happen to Germany. They are the ones preventing it because their politicians know that it would be political suicide to take on the responsibility of funding the rest of the EU.
It will happen and is an inevitable consequence of ever closer political and economic union. The !!!8220;think of the children!!!8221; pearl clutching doesn!!!8217;t wash either. There is no evidence that immigration from Eastern Europe has harmed Eastern Europe or the countries Eastern Europeans emigrate to.
Educating people in Latvia then trying to confine them to Latvia rather than letting them move elsewhere in the EU bloc where they are needed is as senseless as telling Cornish teenagers they should need a visa to go and work in London.

The world has indeed changed, and continues to change.
The EU share of the world trade market will continue to shrink. The increasing pace of automation will see an end to mass employment. The idea of mass migration as a solution will be written into the history books as a misguided ideal popular for a few decades.0 -

That’s sounds super. Sounds like a sound bite.
Anyway thank you for a politicians opinion, what about your own opinion?There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -

Did I hear correctly. This is a positive reason for Britain to leave the EU.
No I did not think so.
Anyone got any positive benefits to Britain.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0
