    oh that's ok then cleared it all up.

    Still when we finally trigger article 50 at least none of the taxes from anywhere in the Uk will be going to prop up the EU - so we got that going for us which is nice.

      No it doesn't. For your homework try to figure out where you've gone wrong.

        You're probably kidding and I just didn't get that.

        When we trigger Art 50:
        • nothing happens for 2+ years until Britain actually leaves
        • Britain will continue to pay into the EU pot as usual until then
        • Single Market access requires to pay into the EU's pot (and a number of other obligations which Brexit assumed to be able to circumvent somehow). Ask the Norwegians or the Swiss.
        • EU subsidies are not part of the Single Market deal. So your taxes will have to go to all those areas which benefited most from EU support: Wales, Cornwall, The North; Research; etc


        Bottom line: We pay a little less into the EU, but more into currently subsidised areas.

          I am hoping that the GBP/USD rate stays low, I don't want it to plunge but it's really helping my business. Fingers crossed I'll be able to create my first full-time UK job take on my first contractor this year.
          FTFY - you don't want an employee. Nasty, dirty things that want holidays and benefits. Yuck.

                Not really I do seem to have the ability not to resort to being a keyboard warrior though.

                So I got that going for me, which is nice.

                      So is Portugal. The northern half of the country is predominantly mountains.
