    And what "cost" would that be to the Germans? Most of the other countries receive more out than they put in.

      The Germans need us more than pretty much the rest of Europe put together. We're by far the biggest European market for their vehicles and we are a significant net contributor to the EU, something they'll have to do even more of if we leave. Once the German public sees the first post-Brexit bill for them to prop up the rest of the EU and particularly the Eurozone, they'll want out.

          A whole set of figures came out at 9.30am today. Of those, the interesting one is:

          https://www.forexcrunch.com/uk-post-...ims-fall-8-6k/

          Brexit had no impact on the jobs market, not yet: Claimant Count Change falls by 8.6K, much better than expected. The rest of the figures, for the month of June (pre-Brexit) came out as expected. The unemployment rate is 4.9%, wages are up 2.4% and 2.3% excluding bonuses.

            Or to summarise it for thick bremoaners like AssCretin and Old Greggs:

            Brexit causes wage increases, record employment levels, and huge falls in the numbers of people claiming benefits.

            If only we have stayed tied to the (morally, economically and democratically) bankrupt EU...

              I'm sorry I voted Brexit. I thought I was going to bring the country down.......

                Good news indeed:

                Most of the unemployment data were collected before the June 23 vote to quit the EU, meaning they don’t reflect much of its impact on the economy. Bank of England officials unveiled a package of stimulus earlier this month as they predicted an economic slowdown will cause unemployment to increase.
                So before the Brexit vote unemployment was coming down and wages were going up in spite of uncontrolled immigration.

                  The cost of collapse of the EU. After decades and billions invested by the Germans in it.

                  The Germans need us but not as much as they need the rest of EU put together. Giving us a great deal will fuel the separatist movements in other EU countries. As for the car market, Brits still need cars, the domestic production is far from sufficient in both quality and quantity so we will have to keep buying cars from EU. The difference is that the import tariff will be stuck on the price making them more expensive for the Brits to buy.

                  The net UK contribution to the EU is what 8-10bn/year - that's nothing in the grand scheme of things

                    The massive unexpected drop in claimants is 100% post Brexit.

                      Lotus and Aston aside (and maybe the electrics on the Astra), that's a fairly sturdy bunch of vehicles. But if push comes to shove, I'll get a Lexus instead of a Merc
