Howmanheyman 26824 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 With the risk of getting on Gloomy's bad side, the early BBC business/news review showed a page from the telegraph showing a grinning farage waving the Union Jack. Not one word about the story from the guest or the presenter was in any way derogatory or critical of their embarrassing actions. Why put it on?

Silly old twats behaving horribly and waving mini Union Jacks while a room of Europeans looks on bewildered. And culminating in Britain having its voice silenced on the European stage. Mint. Not stopped him taking an absolute fortune out of the EU for years as an MEP. Has absolutely no redeeming features at all and hopefully that is the last we ever hear from him or see him - but I very much doubt it as he is a publicity whore.

Renton 17771 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 So today's the day. I feel genuinely a bit sad this is where we have become as a country. I hope my worst fears are misplaced and both us and the EU will flourish in the coming decades, i really do. But regarding the UK, i really cant see any grounds for optimism.

Renton 17771 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Who needs Europe anyway. Well worth putting up with a little bit of friction to give us back our sovereignty and trade with the rest of the world! UK top trade partners (exports) in 2018: EU 🇪🇺£291bn United States 🇺🇸 £50.4bn China 🇨🇳 £21.4bn Turkey £10.6bn Hong Kong 🇭🇰 £7.9bn UAE 🇦🇪 £7.8bn Japan 🇯🇵 £6.5bn South Korea 🇰🇷 £6bn Canada 🇨🇦 £5.6bn Singapore 🇸🇬 £5.2bn India 🇮🇳 £5bn Australia 🇦🇺 £4.5bn Edited January 31, 2020 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26343 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Quite simply there is no real argument to be made for divergence. Economically it's ridiculous, the gains to be made are completely outweighed by the loss of trade with the EU. It's simply willy waving sovereignty for the sake of it. I thought this 80 strong majority may have meant that Johnson could take us in a more sensible direction but clearly not. Hopefully the adults in the room can prevent the worst from happening.

This is effectively the end of any manufacturing that's integrated with the EU. The NE is projected to be the worst hit, including NI, because we have large automobile manufacturing and supply chains, and are the only region with a net surplus to the EU. At least NI didn't vote for it, unlike us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
