    Even Belgium exports as much as the UK. As the UK exports shrink and Spain's grow it won't belong before they overtake the UK.



    the UK is a woeful failure considering its size

    That's the whole point of a red white and blue Brexit. Freed from the shackles of EUSSR trade restrictions, Britannia Unchained will enjoy an Empire 2.0 jam tea and biscuit export boom.

    This is one of the less often stated but IMHO most important justifications for Brexit - Halting atrophy of national skills and resources, because "we can rely on the EU for all those"

    I'd say it is more like being in a nice warm well-stocked kitchen, while even the kitchen garden is woefully neglected and is going to weed-infested rack and ruin!

    Both sides are at fault. Referedums should be banned. We need a referendum on this.

    Could say the same thing about QE following 2008, did you know that the ECB has been buying [deliquent] corporate bonds too? They have zombified the EZ economy.

  • Scaremongering Remainers are responsible for so much of the ill-will over Brexit

    Both the Queen herself and the Archbishop of Canterbury have spoken of the need to avoid disagreements in political debates creating a divisive and rancorous society.

    Would that they had been present in the House of Lords last Thursday when the Remainers were out in force, trying to alarm diabetics with the prospect that following a no deal Brexit they might well be unable to obtain the insulin needed to keep them alive.

    Just who, I wondered, were the evil people who might be planning such a despicable revenge should the British people regain their independence in a no deal Brexit on March 29? Surely not the manufacturers (mainly in Denmark). After all, such a policy would damage their businesses....
