Regarding the foreign ownership, DC has promised to get tough on 'Corruption' and offshore tax havens, do you trust him to? Not sure what Boris' policy is on it, but I'd hazard a guess he'll actually do more as PM and his sidekick that just stand there looking like a sweaty pig and a puppet spouting doom and gloom.Originally posted by Nigel Farage MEP - 2016-06-24 04:00:00"I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let's get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong."Comment

Originally posted by rl4engc View PostI was thinking more about all the people, inside the offices of all those buildings. You see they do a thing loosely called "The Service Industry" and it generates about 78% of our GDP. A Brexit would mean those people could open up trade with some on the fastest growing nations on the planet; India, China, Brazil, Australia etc. which we can't currently do as the EU won't let us.
There's nada stopping the UK trading with outside the EU but our own ineptitude."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Originally posted by rl4engc View PostAlso the small matter of the tarriffs imposed on goods to non-EU countries, making it uneconomic for buyers to import them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe...ade_agreements
30 free trade deals in force (if I counted it right), plus 50 more coming, plus the 27 countries of the EU. That's free trade with 107 countries you don't want us to have, plus the biggest one of all with the US.
Don't worry though. We'll be able to negotiate them all back in a jiffy, and nab China to boot.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
