The Big Fat Positive Brexit Thread

[PurpleGorilla]

Full marks for coming up with a tangible effect of Brexit. I think that makes you a thought leader on this channel just at this moment. Every other brexiteer seems to be gazing at their navels and dribbling.

A fundamental principle of the EU is a level playing field. This stops you using British steel purely on the grounds our useless steel industry would lose out and have to bus tons of locals down to the job centre.

However you know what we remainers are going to ask next: why do you think we lose on balance from this free market? Why do you think we couldn't have got as many compensating deals in the EU as we lost here in Blighty?

An obvious answer is the UK is crap compared to everywhere else, so we need protection from the harsh winds of competition. Now that might indeed be a valid point. It's not however one that was ever mentioned in all the vacuous claptrap thrown at the gullible public on the run up to the referendum. Do you think they worked that out for themselves -like you, Purp - or is there a teeny weeny risk they are still struggling to remember why they voted Leave?

Not really bothered why others voted leave, that's their choice.

Massive positive: the UK economy is the worst performing in the EU. When we leave, we will no longer be the worst performing in the EU.

Can't fault your logic but I doubt that was what was going through voters' minds so we're currently left with Purp's Britain is too crap to survive inside the EU. The big problem with this proposition is I seem to remember we are not largely self contained (like eg the USA) but are actually the Worlds Greatest Trading Nation (tm) in terms of percentage of imports and exports vs internal consumption. I'm ready to be corrected on that but it doesn't bode well for hiding in a corner as a strategy.

I'm really disappointed everyone has stayed schtum on the thorny issue of millions of third world rapists and jihadis pouring into the ports and Angela Merkel refusing to do anything about it whilst meanwhile they run-over, stab and explode every innocent French waiter or New Zealander on holiday over here. Research has shown immigration was a big (biggest) factor when people took their pens to their ballot sheets.

as only 1 in 8 in the UK is now foreign born they seem to be over represented here.

awesome what a lovely protest.

Unfortunately we have a problem and suggesting anyone who discusses it is a racist is hardly helpful.

Didn't see him call you racist. Just saw him direct you to a group of people who share your views.
