What a ****ing stupid comment Is this how weak the Brexit argument has become? - there are foreigners in Europe ergo it is just as easy for them to emigrate there as it is for other EU citizens.

You could go on, but you'd still be flat wrong because you only read headlines and not stats. 1. You can import cheaper food for sure. However you then sacrifice food security, if you want to starve the UK all you need is 10 subs. In any event buying food on world markets mean prices are much more volatile - a fact hated by food producers, one of our major exports. The cost of hedging exceeds any short term savings - look into the black-scholes formula 2. The loss of deep sea fishing community jobs was almost entirely due to industrialisation - bigger more mechanised ships needing fewer crew. As for coastal communities inshore waters remain under British control. Im surprsied you still dont know that - you have been told enough times.

Thats only partly true. Economics was a big part of it - but the right to go and live in other European countries was also an issue for me. More than anything though the definitive factor was that I simply didnt believe what most leave campaigners were saying nor that they really understood the issues. Taking back control, cut waste, save money, keep Johnny Foreigner out are all seductive slogans but much more difficult to formulate a coherent policy on.

He doesn't cultivate it. He used to, but over time actually became a total knob.

I've always liked that nice Mr Tillerson!

A kippers wet dream and Brexiteers biggest hope - that the tooth fairy will come and save them. The party that Farage campaigned for? Increasingly there is not much difference between UKIP's policies and AFD. "Nigel Farage tells German anti-immigrant party AfD: 'Once you are able to speak the unspeakable people will begin to think the unthinkable' The former Ukip leader was personally invited to speak at the Berlin event by Beatrix von Storch, the granddaughter of Hitler's finance minister" http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/nigel-farage-germany-right-wing-anti-immigrant-afd-berlin-hitler-finance-minister-granddaughter-a7937126.html

Means tested innit?

Well since any one country can veto the deal so that makes no sense. Either no other country wants to leave - which makes the punishment unnecessary or others do in which case they would veto the punishment deal no? As Shurlock says its about making sure that non members do not get a better deal than members, which is absolutely fair enough.

Terrorist Attacks - WARNING: CONTAINS DISTRESSING IMAGES

Was it? Why did tiny Kuwait keep slant drilling into the oil fields of their much more powerful neighbour? - which is enough to get you shot in Texas. Why had the Americans given Saddam helicopters and the French Super Etendards? What back game was the US playing? -
I tried it but still couldn't get any texts from 13 year old girls from the Hitler Youth ??

Thats the reality of the UK trying to do trade deals with much more powerful economies like China and the US - unequal playing fields instead of the pathetic free trade and growth guff of not too bright Brexiteers.

Have you not read the papers? Norway.

You need to look in the mirror. If a slight majority vote to do something idiotic it is the patriotic responsibility of the rest to change sides and help them do it? That really is witless.

Why on earth is that odd? If you believe Brexit is bad for Britain of course you want it to fail.

Only about £5bn for the phones if you drop 25 million £200 phones. How much do satellites cost nowadays? Got to be cheaper than military build up.

Even if accurate its not actually very much. Total UK debt (government, corporate and personal) is just over £10 trillion - around £153,000 per person

You should have read his speech - especially the part about how national governments push forward with plans but blame the commission if there is any public opposition. Pretty much everything you don't like about the EU has been approved by successive UK governments. If it didnt have UK government support Britain could have vetoed it. We didnt. The EU is a product of what the member states want.
