When Ireland screwed up their economy even though we weren't in the Euro due to our links with them we gave them loans. The other EU nations we helped bail out our loans were via the IMF."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Sometimes you overdo the dense thickie persona. A cry for help probably.

If UK car manufacturers are forced to move to mainland EU (which they would for sure), then exports would drop massively because cars are high ticket items that contribute a lot to total UK exports, UK will actually have to import new cars - Jaguars from India, Range Rovers from Poland.Comment

It's not like they can say "hey they voted out, lets move the factory tomorrow, then on Monday we will be back in business as if nothing happened."
Have a read through this:

So you right, those huge factories are not going anywhere - they will be used as warehouses for potatoes and beans.

Yes, that is exactly what manufacturing is, building cars.
"you work in software? can you do me a website?"
I'm sure there are plenty of graphs online where you can view the UK manufacturing sectors decline over the last 20 years. To say the EU is critical to UK manufacturing is like a smoker saying it keeps the weight down.Comment

btw, I am actually personally benefitting from sterling dropping against EUR/USD and in the event of Brexit I'd personally gain a lot, BUT, I don't want to end up having a barrel full of £1000000 notes with Farage's face printed on them whilst queuing for my portion of hot soup, done that already, no more!Last edited by AtW; 31 May 2016, 22:18.Comment
