Theresa May's Brexit Plan I Want, I Want, I Want

[milanbenes]

With a little help from their friends;

That's a useful chart, and really puts things into perspective, what small amounts of money we're talking about

Let's take Britain for example, net contribution is 4,7 billion

4,7billion is nothing these days

What will 4,7billion get you in 2017...

The NHS budget was 115billion for 2016 !

So, 4,7billion to the EU, that's a drop in the ocean.

Can't see what the fuss is about.

It's the principle - not the absolute sums.

The figs might be from 2014 but still v similar today.

The wealth re-distribution is the whole point of the EU Union.

The point is to bring all of the countries to the same economic level, to achieve this some will go up, some will go down, and some will stagnate, simple mathematics

Once all the countries are the same economically, there will be less chance of conflicts

Hence why the EU is there

hope that helps

So excluding brexit is the UK going up, down, or stagnating?

In your view?

Morning Milan. The "good" has yet to be established, although the sun is shining brightly, so that has to be a positive.

Mrs May will be given a very simple binary choice.

Either join the EEA and hand over 61 billion pounds or f** off

She's going to get a lesson in "real-politik". Time she got some international experience, of which she has actually none. Negotiating with other government leaders is a bit different than bossing mandarins around in the Home Office. The fact that she even failed at this simple task doesn't bode well.

It is comfortable to blame others, I'll give you that.

Compared to a number of other smaller EU states (and larger) infrastructure has remained state owned. Here in the UK we privatise the lot for a quick cash injection and happy shareholders. Profit is not returned to the state, why would we expect improvement?

Indeed small businesses throughout Germany receive much support from the state, selling their products throughout the EU. The UK is about to throw a number of hurdles in front of small business to access the EU. If I were a small business I'd be seriously looking to relocated to the larger customer base.

In my view the UK can only blame itself. I recall the third Heathrow runway being discussed 16 year ago. It'll be beyond 20 before it becomes. Meanwhile Germany has built a new high-speed railway between Munich and Berlin.

As the saying goes you don't know what you've lost until it's gone. And it's not a lesson that needs teaching as younger generations shall now be deprived of opportunity by a hysterical older generation.
