The EU has too many PIIGS at the trough to allow anything reasonable other than continuing to try to milk the cash cow that is 'treasure island'.
In a global market that can be impacted by ransomware in an instant, maybe the EU model is due a replacement, and as has happened so many times in the past the UK is leading the way.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

How the EU is making a successful Brexit Difficult
Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostThe EU wants the UK to be ruined as a punishment for leaving.
The UK will make a jolly good go of it. We always do.
It is the UK that is (supposed to be) trying to negotiate trade terms, citizens rights, etc. The word was "negotiate", not "demand and only accept"
The Telegraph article quoted above talked about how British Army servicemen had protected EU citizens. Would that be because of NATO, or because of the EU? Oh, no, that's too confusing. The Alt-right are trying to convince people that Brexit is about leaving a corrupt group of countries run by the elite few. Instead the alt right Brexiters are wanting a country where only certain skin colours, certain religions, certain birth certificates are allowed and all others should be loaded into trains and sent "home", unless they want the Brexit slogan of "freedom through work"…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I don't see belt tightening as inherently bad news. Save the planet and all that.Comment

Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostIf we are heading to WTO then I imagine domestic consumption will fall a little, but EU goods consumption will fall further still.

Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostVery few. I think we could see the UK population decline, and that would offset the number of jobs available falling a little.Comment
