Having years of accounts no one is willing to sign off because of a few billion in irregularities yet still demanding money from members?

Are you lot still spouting debunked myths? It really doesn't help the argument.

You still denying the truth, using weasel words and using known biased sources?

from your link

Auditors say the accounts are accurate and have been since 2007. But they record significant errors in how money is paid, and this has been the case since 1995.

Do try sending your accounts in with 3.8% of your spending unexplained or considered as inaccurate and see how fast Hector pops round.

Could one of our esteemed Remnants explain what they think this means in the context of our leaving the EU.

OK , this is what they mean:

At present we do 42% of our trade with Europe , they do 10% of their trade with us. When we leave the tariffs that are charged for exporting our goods to Europe will be higher, so selling goods there will be more expensive.

More importantly and more likely to cause us bigger problems is that every European will see us as the country that has pulled out and that's what will have a massive negative effect on buying British, especially true of services which are nearly 73% of our exports.

We also have many banks and financial companies now moving out of the UK because of pass-porting issues and other companies moving because they believe that the customs union and freedom of movement wont suit there future business model.

So Leaving the EU = Having Cake
Disadvantages of leaving EU (Most of which will have happened by the time we leave) = Eating it.

Disagree with most of this but at least you put forward an argument which immediately raises you above the majority of Remnants.

The value of EU imports is higher than our exports to the EU. Tariff free trading would benefit both sides. The EU may want tariffs to punish us but that would result in them being tariff education too. Now the muppets in Brussels plus a few other French and German politicians would think this a price worth paying but there is already a backlash from Spain and Italy who disagree totally. Mainly because a large chunk of their economy is dependent upon the UK.

So far a couple of banks have said they would move 1,000 people each out of the UK. We were told this would be between 70,000 and 230,000. This is looking ncreasingly unlikely as to set up a hub in the EU only requires a few people and a localised agreement. As an example, one Japanese bank has chosen the EU over London for its new office creating a massive 15 jobs.

There are currently just over 5,000 uk based financial services companies dependent upon passporting rights to trade in the EU. There are over 8,000 eu based companies using passporting to trade in the UK.

What the EU might see as disadvantages in the main aren't.

The reality is, for years the EU has been having its cake and eating it. The UK has paid vast sums of money to allow the EU to sell us goods tariff free. Time to stop that.
