[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

[VectraMan]

EU optional citizenship to be offered to Brits

Where do I apply?

[GB9]

What do you mean by "controlled by them"? Please give at least one example.

Compulsory VAT levels.
No provision of state aid.
Overrule of UK court by ecj.
Inability to trade freely with who we wish.

Brexit campaigners in Britain reacted with anger to the idea, arguing that it would discriminate against Leave voters and that it was “an outrage”.

That I seriously doubt. Reacted with total indifference more like. Who seriously cares? Apart from activist Remainers who still want to stir the pot and spread division and hate.

EDIT: and some crazy woman that the Indie found to be angry about it.

Compulsory VAT levels.
Prior to VAT there was a minfield of taxes. Eg, when buying a car there was three taxes, purchase tax, car tax and duty. Not forgetting that in gerneral VAT only really afects retail prices, not businesses.

No provision of state aid.
Then why does the UK government subsidise the railways? Moreover, there is nothing to stop govenments is holding shares in former state owned companies in order to control policy.

Overrule of UK court by ecj,
yes because these are commercial rules that affect all EU countries. BTW, at the moment the USA dictates to the UK (particularly banks) who they can do busisess with.

Please name a country that the UK can’t do business with.

Carp, the question was Re: Inability to trade freely with who we wish. Please name a country that the UK can’t do business with.

Any UK business can sign a deal with another country provided it is within the law.

Any UK business can sign a deal with another country provided the EU Metropolitan elite rubber-stamp it

China. Because it is trades with China through the EU and therefore cannot legally trade directly

If you read Jacob Rees Mogg's article

it says

We can’t make a free trade agreement with China, with India, with Brazil, or with Russia – it has to be done by the Commission.

So you ask me for answers and when I provide them, instead of saying, "fair enough" like any reasonable person would, you try to justify them instead.

We are stuck with various VAT constraints because we are in the EU.

We are being questioned over what has been said about state aid to Nissan, by the EU.

We are judged by the ecj because we are in the EU.

We can't sign our own trade agreements because we are in the EU.

We didn't vote to be in this position. Blair signed us up to Lisbon without the referendum he promised.
