Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[VNA]

That's looking at it from a Remain "shoot down Brexit" point of view.

No it’s simple economics.  If there was no EU and you were a UK manufacturer, the fact is you would more than likely have to choose which countries within Europe you wished to trade with, as very few but the biggest companies would be able to handle the complexities of trading with all.
It’s a simple economic fact that if there was no EU, there would be less trade across Europe.  Less trade means smaller economies = less wealth.
Obviously, the EU requires standardisation of laws relating to trade.  That’s an advantage not a disadvantage.  The EU will never become a single super state – that’s just nonsense.

Or rather, I fail to see why independent nations can't work out advantageous systems together on other things too, where it benefits all - security in the face of modern threats for instance.

Perhaps you mean the EU counter-terrorism strategy that BREXIT will take us out of.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. You can't prove one way or the other. Even the top economic heads say they don't know for sure - how could they, when a deal has yet to be worked out?

Well yes you are right here.  Because 1 – we may not actually leave or 2 – we may remain in a customs union or as continuing members of the single market.  But what we do know is that a no deal BREXIT crash out of the EU will have a substantial and immediate economic impact on the UK.

The ones who will lose face are the current sensationalists, like yourself. You should relax about it more. Have another spliff!  :lol  Oh, wait, you can't - as a political animal, you think spliffs are bad, very, very baaad! :lol

My employer has a policy of random drink and drug testing.  Not an option for me I’m afraid.
Jacob Rees-Mogg was educated at Eton.  He is a hedge fund manager.  His net worth is estimated at in excess of 100 million pounds.  He’s in parliament to look after his own interest.
