    Does I want 27 other countries to be able to tell the UK what its laws should be?

    Yes, that's difficult.

      What some of those who voted leave don't seem to realise whether we are in or out we will be subjected to greater amounts of immigration and large companies moving production and capital due to globalisation. So if a company e.g. Nestle decides they can't make money in the UK they will close down their UK factory and move production to another cheaper country.
      Exactly, no difference between a Trump or Leave voter. There is an obvious difference between the US and the UK in that the US isn't in the EU,but basically it's a vote against globalisation. If you listen to a Trump supporter or a Leave voter you hear very similar arguments, just replace Romanian begging gangs with Mexican drug gangs.

        OK, don't read the wail then.

        Note this was post brexit vote so the politicians understand they can't be seen to brush it under the carpet any more.

          biased bollux.

          If we had elected Phillip Green or Duncan Bannantyne as PM then you might have a point.

          Now I can see where the confusion arises in your mind.

          Trump is self serving & dangerous.

          The EU is corrupt & Dangerous.

            You don't need to leave the EU to solve this problem. The Germans have done exactly the same. For a while in frankfurt you couldn't drive past a traffic light without having your windshield wiped. The Romanian begging gangs have since disappeared from Germany, and gone to the UK.

              Do you buy toilettes?

              If you look on the back of say a Unilever product you will notice that the ingredients lists are in several different languages. If you can read any of those languages you will notice that different ingredients are highlighted regardless of the country of manufacture.

              Leaving the customs union doesn't decrease paperwork for companies it increases it.

              So keep moaning about EU laws particularly the ones the UK had a lot of influence in shaping.

                No I only Buy British Lavatories . Oh I think you mean toiletries?

                You know we would have to do the same if we exported to the USA or China? You know that is really easy to do if you have computerised printing on the production line. Companies even specialise in providing the translations.

                    I think you missed the inherent sarcasm in the post.

                      Maybe I've mixed GB9 up with one of the pig-ignorant Leave slogan-chanters in which case I apologise.
