Britain leaves EU

Re: Britain leaves EU

It was funny listening to people complaining about immigration, when they were never affected by it on a personal level at all.

It will also complicate trade between the North and South of Ireland

this worries me a lot, i,m more worried about the border issue with regards to the peace process than i am about the trading as it was key in the whole thing

Am I the only one who actually thinks this is a good thing?
I mean, being a rich member of the EU basically means:
You pay a lot of money to the EU, and in return Brussels tells you what to do.

The UK is free now. Congratulations!

we got far more back in returns than we paid into the system plus the fact that brussels told us what to do was kind of a myth as the UK had a huge influence on how it was run... watch this video

Re: Britain leaves EU

old people live in a utopia where their lives happened when britain was this great wonderful leader on the global market, those days are long gone and we're not going to return to them as we have out priced ourselves and can't compete with the likes of china

the leave campaign painted its campaign as this great answer to every problem the UK had and people fell for it big time

Well said and I think you're right to a large degree

It doesn't bode well for the average fiend who will most likely suffer financially

It will also complicate trade between the North and South of Ireland

A lot depends on the exit deal

Re: Britain leaves EU

Not sure what you are quoting but that's some dangerous thing to give entity ...


There are a lot of lagging people in the world.. being from the third world, i can assure there are truly a lot.. what the world will do with these people? They born quickier than you think. Exponentially.

Don't take for granted what people think what is the best for them.. Its very complex

Well said. People are inclined to be aspirational., they want to believe they are moving up in the world . Consequently they support what they aspire to rather than what they are.

Re: Britain leaves EU

Because the country has loads of racists that are also lazy. They resent foreigners coming in stealing their jobs, because the foreigners work hard and are also ambitious.

Now a lot won't have jobs . I'm sure they will be happier and hey it was democratic. The best summing up I have seen was on a Aussie satirical site .

Re: Britain leaves EU

I'd say congrats, as an American it seems like a good thing, but what do our European members think?

It's a terrible thing !! I am getting from people there that they are expecting a recession. It is going to have massive consequences economically

Re: Britain leaves EU

so then comments like these are all rubbish I take it?

It's time for the EU to accept the critics and change.
The answer should be a more democratic EU, not sanctions against Russia, mass immigration, visa-free travel for Turks and all the rest of the globalist/do-gooders agenda.
Time to learn a lesson and improve.
Failing to do so will just make the EU further implode.
Democracy means doing what the peoples of Europe want, not what the globalist élites want.
Time to finally change.

on a global market britain doesn't have much to offer as we already import much of our produce, britain no longer is a global leader in industry, small businesses had a greater chance of growing when they were in europe because being part of the free market meant that things like a countries rules and regulations toward produce produced had to only follow one set of rules between 28 countries, now things have changed which favors bigger business because they are the only ones that can potentially afford to set up production lines in each country to abide by that country's own rules and sell products within that country, even big business will feel the strain because setting up that line costs most which will hike up prices of these good in an already competitive market, no matter what you think about elitists etc business is the back bone to the economy as it creates jobs and pays into the system, with many jobs in the UK relying on exporting goods to the EU in this way they are just back to square one and i,ll use google as an example of how great big business is when it comes to avoid paying taxes, a swing towards big business could potentially mean a swing to a higher tax rate for the common hard working man as they need to balance the books

edit : went on a rant after reading your post wrong let me address it

britain was in the top 3 players in the EU, it's influence was massive when it came to deciding things, now the situation is we still want to do business within those countries which means we have to abide by it's rules but we have just given up the right to influence what those rules are

immigration was a hard sell for the leave campaign, "were too full" etc etc but the truth is the only area's that are over populated are those area's that are desirable for everyone to work i.e. london, the rest of the country is not only cheaper to live and work in but its mainly also fucking empty and with more than half of all migrants being from outside the eu how does that help ? another part of doing a trade deal with europe will be the fact that we have to potentially agree to the free movement of european people across our so called "controlled border".... how is this going to help the so called immigration problem, the controlled border was a hard sell by the leave campaign, if we want to do business with the biggest market in the world we have to abide by the rules and unfortunately that market is europe... also to be part of that market we will also have to pay a membership fee which more or less cancels out the money we were promised would be saved each week by the leave campaign

Re: Britain leaves EU

but what's gonna happen to all the old folks who retired to spain? strange the expats couldn't vote either.

expats got a postal vote, as for what happens to them no one is really sure of that just now as it will be part of the discussion when we start discussing an exit strategy with the european union

Re: Britain leaves EU

the uk ( ha thats a fucking joke...UK ) has just committed suicide, i'd particularly like to thank the over 65 year olds who swung the vote with their golden pensions and everything else that has been handed to them on a plate from a time that has long gone for putting the people who are responsible for the future of this country in an uncertain position and possibly completely fucking up not just their freedom but also their future
