So, we're still IN, there has been no referendum yet, and the country is doing well. How can you then claim that the increase is due to Brexit?

Because industry doesn't base its long term decisions on what might happen tomorrow, they look a little further ahead than the end of the car bonnet!

Brexit boom!

Pound jumps as UK factories roar back into life

Britain's manufacturing sector grew at the fastest pace in four years in April in a sign that UK industry is coping with EU referendum uncertainty and could soon emerge from recession.

The pound rose by as much as a cent against the dollar on Wednesday after official data showed factory output rose 2.3pc in April compared with March.

This represents the biggest increase since July 2012, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Economists expected the sector to contract by 0.1pc.

Brexit boom!

Who's the "we"?

Eurozone countries mostly lent Greece the money, and mostly that was Germany. The UK is only exposed due to our contribution to the IMF bailout, and we'd do that whether we Brexit or not. That's €1.3bn.

If we Brexit we're not removed from the tulipe if the whole of the Eurozone goes down the plug hole. For one thing we'll likely be contributing to a huge IMF bailout, and as happened with Ireland, probably an additional bail out on top.

You aren't suppose to post sense.

We're bending over backwards to avoid calling in their debt. I think they should've left or been kicked out personally.

They're not allowed to. They have to keeps paying until 2080!

In the event of Remain, there's still a good chance of a monumental Euro crash will bring the whole thing down. Still, it'll be a lot worse then.

In the event of a crash we'll just buy up European assests on the cheap. I've already go my eyes on some mansions in Estonia!

Interesting that you think that we are doing them a favour. This is what the EU thinks it is doing for all of us. The best route for Greece would be to cast itself off the EURO

The woman having a go at Farage last night was a HuffPost blogger who had been deliberately planted by ITV.

Cameron and Farage also blog for the HuffPost, mind you Kippers and Brexiters are not the brightest lot:

Hopefully this means this is going the same way as the Scotland referendum: People who weren't that interested are suddenly realising there's a real possibility that they're about to be shafted by a more vocal minority of nutters y Remainiacs.

I'd have thought France would have been quite pro, how come they're not? Stronger national identity? Culture of not being told what to do?

Ironic Greece hates the EU after we're doing so much to prop them up.

Receivers of handouts love the EU, payers who get nothing but immigrants and red tape, don't.
