Yet still some find time to make unpleasant remarks about where I live. Or about my lifestyle.
As if the lifestyle in the EU27 is better than that of Britain.

There's nothing unpleasant about living in a low tax country. With a low median age and high average income. With a population of around 600,00. It's not representative of the wider EU27.

"Theresa May has said that Brexit means there will be more money available to spend on the NHS and schools."

We are getting on with it in case you hadn't noticed so perhaps you might contain your despair until you see the outcome, on or after 23:00hrs on Friday March 29th 2019.

And you honestly believe her?

Yes because of course depriving these countries of what few skilled workers they do have is not going to harm their country at all. :wall:

The world is still changing but the EU is still stuck in the past, whereas the UK decided to look forward and embrace a new age. As said, the EU's share of global trade and growth is falling. Look outwards not inwards.

What are we doing to invest in this new age? Almost everything I've seen is mitigating damage or ask if to be treated as if we are still in.

Any new investments? Partnerships? Opportunities? Research? Policy?

That all sounds like pretty small change to do more of the same, with the exception of battery tech, where we're being offered 2/3rds of a weekly eu payment, or about 2/rds of what Tesla spends on R&d.

We all know the reviews will be useless.

Where are the incentives for STEM students? The collaborations with universities worldwide on New Research? Acknowledgement of industry 4.0 or any indication as where we want to be on the world stage.

There's some token gestures but no vision. It's better than nothing, but it doesn't say bold plan for the future to me.

Pointless debating when the response is dismissive and there's obviously little desire to view anything in a positive light.

Do you feel those announcements are enough to turn our bold vision into reality in a great Britain installed from the EU? Would someone like Brunel be impressed by those offerings?

I thought we were all about revolution rather than evolution and some great drive to prosperity, by spending some loose change doing very little different?

No promises to be using clean energy by x or for every one to have internet access by y?

We are committing to banning combustion only cars about 10 years ahead of the eu but I think market forces will make that a moot point anyway.

The biggest challenges for our country in the nearish future will be smart factories, automation and fossil fuels but we don't seem to be keen on leading the world in any if them.

I strongly suspect that nothing would no matter what it was.

You'd be wrong. But I can appreciate you don't have much to convince me and that's fine; you're not the one making or not making these decisions.

Putting someone on ignore who is asking the difficult question,
What are the benefits for Britain of leaving the EU, what is the Brexit dividend?
is like standing in the playground with you hands on over your ears repeating la la la la.

Suggesting living in a country with 600k people, half of whom are immigrants, with more arriving every day, plus 120,000 people who cross the border from Germany, FRANCE and Belgium everyday to work, disqualifies me from asking that question is just plain silly unless there is a special qualification/race that permits a poster to speak. Shutting down free speech, is that one of the benefits of leaving the EU but no one dare say it?

I at least am prepared to show my location in my profile unlike many Brexiters.

Can any Brexiter, it does not matter where you live, please list the Benefits to Britain of leaving the EU.
Could you also explain the Brexit bonus/dividend.

Thank you.
