Brexit, the economy and house prices part 5

cogito

And what of the Remainer flat earthers? Terrified of life outside the EU which is like a nanny whose skirts they hide behind and peek out nervously at the big world outside.

Brexit makes a lot of sense to people who see that the EU is just a protectionist organisation doomed to failure.

Brexit makes a lot of sense to people who have never travelled more than 30 miles away from the place they were born.

The EU has trade agreements with over 50 countries, not including the almost 30 countries inside the EU. I have yet to see what the Brexiteers wish to replace this with.

It better be bloody good.

Remainers assure me Brexit is a disaster, that the economy will tank. Yet here we have another in a long line of foreign corporations signifying their confidence in Britain with ACTIONS, not lame words & spread-sheets.

If you were a pro-brexit ex-pat you wouldn't hear a peep about your location.

All messengers must be shot.

Thanks for that. I am a remainer and an IMMIGRANT. That is a double bad.
Oh yes I also have a lifestyle, whatever that means.

Oh, that again. 36 actually if you count ratified agreements. They include Akrotiri and Dhekelia (where?), the Channel Islands and the IoM, Andorra, the Faroe Islands and a handful of other places that most people couldn't find on a map.

What's more significant is the countries which they do not have agreements with and which account for the bulk of world trade where negotiations are either not taking place at all or are crawling along at the EU's usual glacial pace.

I see. Now considering our business, retail and industry and service sectors mostly don't want Brexit, can you please explain which trade agreement they don't realise they are lacking?

Or is it a case of green eggs and ham, where none of us want Brexit because it looks awful and smells bad, but when we have it shoved down our necks then we'll all see the light.

Yes damn the ECJ and the awful rights that it enforces, many of which were proposed by the UK. Once the Tories have torn all those up, enforced a British bill of rights, and got us eating some damn fine chlorinated American chicken, we'll feel the warm glow of pride alright.

Many people believe those rights have gone too far.

But we live in a democracy. If the people don't like what the conservatives do they can hold their nose and vote for the leader of the anti-jewish party.

And as has been pointed out to Remainers many times, markets & business have long factored-in Brexit & decided the future looks rosy, hence their investment in the UK, & why UK company share prices are at record high's (those trading mainly in the UK).


June 16; 100,000 City jobs to go!
June 17: Well maybe 10,000
March 18: Might be as many as 5,000........

Existing trade deals will be adopted, there will be no problems. UK-EU trade deal will be perfectly good enough to ensure trade is not harmed.
So, nothing lost, but much to gain in terms of full autonomy globally - a vast mass of opportunity & innovation awaits.


You can't see this as you refuse to see this.
