Is it time for the 2 minutes hate against Eurasia yet?
Remember, Ignorance is Strength.

Nah not really - do not hate anyone.

Just did not want the UK to become a vassal state of an EU superpower that's all..

Not sure why you see that as hatred - obviously other than it does not agree with your point of view so you need to try and smear mine.

The whole EU budget / UK contributions thing is shrouded in mystery.

The best resource I could find is this : Link

Basically it says we paid in 13B in 2015, got 4.5B back in spending ( CAP, science budget etc ) and so our net contribution was 8.5B. Which works out at about 23M a day.

Hinkely Point C has a budget of 18B. So that could be paid for by the UK government with only 2 and a bit years of EU contributions.

HS2 is 50B. That's about 6 years worth.

The 2012 Olympics was 10B. Just over a year.


All this and we'd still be able to fund the groups that currently receive EU funding without increasing taxes.

Or all 30M UK taxpayers could have £285 tax cut.

I think banks will come first. The UK paid in 8.5bn to the EU in 2015 but since the referendum, the taxpayer funded banks, RBS and Lloyds have lost over 10.5bn. That's only in about a month, how much will they continue to lose until Brexit, or even the actual legal vote to leave the EU, takes place? We all know that the British government will put the financial services before it's own people first...

Isn't Oceania at war with Eastasia, and has always been at war with Eastasia?

More good news proving Project Fear wrong:

https://www.theguardian.com/business...ummer-holidays

Peter Cattell, fuel director for Tesco, said: “We know that lots of customers will have plans for the summer holidays, so we’re dropping the price of our fuel to help them enjoy it even more. This reduction of up to 2p per litre on petrol and diesel at our 500 petrol filling stations will mean millions of customers save money by shopping at Tesco.”

Of course there is always one miserable naysayer to try to ruin it.

Luke Bosdet from the AA added: “Drivers are in a good place with pump prices this summer, paying as much as 5p a litre less than a year ago. However, with the weaker pound, it’s more a case of pump paradise lost than pump paradise found.”

He said had the pound regained last summer’s value against the dollar, summer petrol prices in the UK would have been at a seven-year low.

Impact of the UK's proposed exit from the European Union ("Brexit")

The outcome of the UK's referendum on EU membership was a momentous political event. It has already led to a change in leadership of the Government and gave rise to exceptional volatility in the financial markets. Although it is too early to speculate on the long term impact of Brexit, the Company has in the immediate aftermath seen little adverse impact and in fact the increase in volatility has resulted in higher levels of activity recently. The Company is well positioned to support its clients during this period and we are grateful that they have continued to place their confidence in us as a trusted partner.

From an FX perspective a fall in the value of Sterling will result in a positive impact on reported revenue. In the six months to 30 June 2016 over 80% of revenue is in non-sterling currencies of which over 60% is in USD and over 10% is in EUR.

The risks of Brexit have been well publicised in the media and we believe that the global and diversified nature of our operations positions us well.

The UK and the EU are now entering uncharted waters. Once a formal negotiation procedure has been triggered, there is considerable uncertainty about the outcome that will be achieved. We are following political events very closely, but any decisions that we have to make will be based on facts and not speculation. We have a global business with a wide European footprint, so we will always be where our clients need us to be.
