Your missing the point the 21% is with countries that EU are negotiating with and will not change if we leave. 43% of our trade is with EU the figure is disputed because of Rotterdam effect. The other 56% goes to countries that EU either has a trade agreement with or is not negotiating one with I don't know the proportions.

I think you are flogging a dead horse.......

Chlorine is not illegal. Bagged salads are routinely washed in it, and they don't even get cooked. The whole chlorine chicken thing is hysterical nonsense by the scientifically illiterate and those with vested interests.

I find it "hysterical" that people are lining up to thank you for suggesting that not wanting to eat intensively farmed mechanically killed animals, raised and killed in conditions so filthy their meat has to be washed in bleach to stop consumers dying, is scientifically illiterate.

Well you may not care about the chlorine. Perhaps the megadoses of antibiotics and growth hormones in American food might worry you. No? What about the abnormally high rates of US men growing female breasts after eating GMO beef saturated with oestrogen or phytoestrogens in the soy they put in everything?

You're clearly a real expert so please explain how all this is a good thing?

They don't have the source report so they have to report on what another publication says - adds to the game of Chinese Whispers.

I'm pretty sanguine about agencies considering the breakdown of the EU requiring German military actions when the whole point was to think about the worse case scenario.

I'd hardly be standing at the foot of my stairs to discover the British military have considered how to react in the case of a breakdown of law and order in the UK for example.

So where do you draw the line? Many start-up companies start insolvent, should they immediately be sold off? While a company exists it has the chance to turn around and break into profit again, if it is sold off where is the incentive?

Zombie companies are not start ups.

Despite all the assertions of current hardship, cliff-edge-teetering and impending disaster by remainers ALL OF WHICH ARE ALLEGEDLY THE RESULT OF BREXIT your "levels of happiness are in no way defined by Brexit related stuff"?
You see why I have difficulty believing that?
Brexit has certainly not decreased the UK public's general contentedness with life despite the assertions of the pro-remain contingent like yourself.
And I notice that your paranoia re: Jock persists. Were I that poster I would be quite pleased to have such an affect upon you. In fact I may start to counter the drivel of pro-remain posters here more often to see if I can emulate that feat.

It does look like some here are. :whistle:
Any chance of contributing to the thread?
I will, with this since remoaners seem to object to anything other than pro-EU propaganda.

Ousted Catalan leader vows to triumph in elections in speech to regional mayors

About 170 Catalan mayors today arrived in Brussels in a single plane.

Another 30 or so drove about 13 hours from Catalonia to Brussels, to hear Mr Puigdemont.

He was given a rapturous reception by his ardently pro-independence audience, who waved flags, chanted “Liberty” and “president, president” before singing the Catalan anthem, while holding aloft walking sticks - the symbol of mayoral power in Spain.

Story in the Telegraph.

They probably already have, but...

- the level of cash-in-hand undeclared work over there
and
- the level of employment figures fiddling over there

...shows different headlines, I know.

But with your analytical skills, Jock, I'm confident you can look beyond those headlines.

Sounds as if you are suggesting that a number of EU states should either be contributing more to the central budget or receiving less in aid. If the problem is that rife. Which is a galling fact for the poor old UK taxpayer.
