Yes, please do. We cant WAIT to get out. Its the politicians keeping us in. The people want OUT.

If you believe in the EU you need to read more, get informed Jose

If life was that simple, 17.4 million people would thank them for doing that. Unfortunately it's the colour of our money they like ☺ not us.

The reason we are leaving Jose is that we are informed and I suggest you do the same because it's not going to be good for you once we leave. You will be sucked into a federalist state with nowhere to turn. The sooner these bastards are brought down the better for Europe.

Jose I bet you're from some sunny shite tip EU country where everyone is either a waiter on unemployed! 2 world wars, 1 world cup. Bollox to the EU!

That’s bc they had Farage on all the time

@@pandora8478 Ha haha. You're funny.

Why?

Well go then!!

If you want a totally de-regulated free for all with almost no worker, consumer or environmental rights and safeguards, it will be a world Dickens wrote about and Marx warned about! Local services will have to be cut back to tokenism, or simply go, the NHS will be privatised, we will essentially have a defence capability that will be sub-standard and Putin's nuclear bombers can probe our airspace almost at will and when the poor get poorer and the rich consolidate their privilege and power base (aka de-regulatory Rees Mogg), that is the down side of this 'free trade' and 'free booted nation' this economist is talking about. His vision will not necessarily translate into a 'wealthier county! He neglects to mention that it is a known economic fact that for every £ we put into the EU our GDP benefits by £6 as a consequence of the multiplier effect of having free trade (non tariff) access to the second largest economic block on the planet!!

No he giving a very biased free market economics view of the future, so loved of the alt right in the US. It will only benefit the rich, like the Tory Brexiters, and will decimate the welfare state and NHS and leave ordinary people far worse off. His views are dangerous and should be resisted at all costs.

@@johnhooper7040 He is, the European question is not really economic. In that the EU will , in all probability continue to succeed in the future and though it has problems of a currency that is too strong for some and advances export lead economies like Germany the essential fact is does the UK want to be part of a successful European project, and loose some sovereignty, or does it want to retreat and become more disconnected from Europe. Its an emotional matter, Leavers want to do that, its a suspicious islandism that boarders racism and certainly has xenophobia at its core. My view is that this rise in nationalistic islandism is retrograde, it leads to isolationism, that will never make us better off, it will damage the UK's standing in the world and the lot of the people in all probability. As I see it is an opportunity for the De-regulationalists like Rees Mogg and Minford to essentially re-boot this county into a free wheeling economy that will greatly advantage the rich and and those at the bottom of the pile life will be brutish and short! It will be not dissimilar to the world that Dickens wrote about and Marx warned about.

@@bryangeake5826 It is not a 'known economic fact' that we make a huge profit out of being a member of the EU, as we have nothing to compare it to. There's no logic in suggesting that without the EU to mediate, international traders and European governents would pointlessly inflate prices. The EU don't do anything that couldn't be done without them.

@@Zoroaster1996 It is, we can trade without tariffs or customs checks in the EU, capitol and people (labour) can move unhindered, so yes for every £1 we pay to the EU, irrespective of what grants are given to the UK for community and infrastructure projects (Wales is a net beneficiary) we have a multiplier effect of about 6! Thats fact. The issue is that there is an EXTERNAL EU tariff, if your outside the EU operating on WTO rules (which we will if we Hard No Deal Brexit) and we will be subject to it! the WTO is a crude leveling system to stop tariffing becoming too exaggerated. We greatly benefit in operating in the second largest economic block in the world tariff free!!! Simply your wrong!

You haven't got a say! About this NATION! & what is does or doesn't do!!

You Don't have any say what or how the government spend the money they borrowed from INM FUND BANK!!! SO that's your money! Really?

How it spend money !! You have no say. So it's Not YOUR MONEY. & HOW can you say it My money! Then spend it on something , like CHRISTMAS, for the needy, & poor. Because all greedy people, only care for themselves, & fuck off everybody, didn't the milk snather teach the British how to be selfish!

Well that's what happened to every tax payers

What to the Tory scum!!

john stroud Hear Hear

So you don't think the wealthy Tory and other Brexit supporters like Rees-Mogg, Farage, Johnson et al won't be making a great deal of money by the UK leaving the EU and they will have the added bonus of escaping from future EU crackdowns on tax cheats and they now have the opportunity to complete the Thatcherite economic program with low taxes for the rich, ie themselves, their friends and party donors while maintaining austerity for ordinary people with the welfare state and NHS under threat.

John Hooper Hmm. Hmm..? What is wrong with making money....Hey...The EU takes more than enough from the UK.....Talking about Neil Kinnock...he left the UK MP System and got a much higher paid EU MEP package, and then I believe his wife also has a highly paid job somewhere there. So I have knocked down your first wicket, not intending to be aggressive just Common sense use of information by converting it into practical use and gaining important comparisons about money and how it is acquired. Oh and by the way...if the UK were to remain trapped in the EU....Their annual fees will keep going up out of proportion to the benefits that the UK receives. And we have still been paying into the EU Coffers for the last three years at about £1,000,000,000 that is about One thousand million Sterling per “month” Net! So rethink your strategy on money and where it goes ...Where Into The EU no one knows? But into the Great British Union it is traceable and therefore Usable intelligently. One Billion Pounds Sterling every month from The UK disappears into the EU coffers and no one knows where it goes...Every month, after month, for the last three years, what about the next three years? How much will the UK be expected to pay into the EU! Nothing I hope, above fair trading amounts! Now that seems to me like a good solid decision for All The UK Taxpayers how could You not Agree about that....£166 every month paid out by the UK 60,000,000 citizens government, into the EU with no return or accountability! Hmm now that got me thinking...how about you? RDR

@@1SpudderR Shut the fuck up you stupid ignorant lying prick.

@@1SpudderR There is nothing wrong with making money as long as it's not at the expense of others less fortunate. The free market/free trade future advocated was all very well when the UK was a global empire which with the strength of the Royal Navy and the wealth of the City of London could trade on advantageous terms across the globe. Don't forget the cost of that free trade. The agricultural depression that almost destroyed British farming and left us very vulnerable and we nearly starved in the two world wars. We also incurred huge debts to the USA which wrecked our economy. The EU is keen on food security and so should the UK. If that means subsidies to farmer and tariffs on food imports that is a price worth paying.The world is a very volatile place today. Add in climate change and the hatred still felt against Britain by our former colonies. Post Brexit Britain will not be an pleasant place to live. Fine if you are Rees-Mogg, Farage, Johnson et al with the money to buy the decent home grown and very expensive unsubsidised food but the rest of us will be eating a starvation diet of crap imports from the US and others, just like it used to be in the 'good old days' of the late 19th and early 20th century This bunch of reactionary idiots want to take us back to. Britain today is becoming more and more like Orwell's 1984!

You do. It comes with the details of your end of year P60. Mine says £47 for last year.

@@simonevs020Thank you, but I dont think that it tells you exactly what it was spent on.

When local services are cut back to tokenism, or simply go, when the NHS is privatised, when we essentially do not have a defence capability and Putin's nuclear bombers can probe our airspace almost at will and when the poor get poorer and the rich consolidate their privilege and power base (aka de-regulatory Rees Mogg) will you still think you are free!?

@@bryangeake5826 Don't forget that the world will end if the UK leave although methinks a hell of a lot of countries are not in the EU. I wonder how they are surviving? You shouldn't believe all the sh1t the elitists are telling you

Where is this loss of freedom you people bang on about. I'm only an ordinary person but the EU never impinged on my freedom. But it did give me pride in being a European, part of the greatest civilisation in the World. We may speak the same language, and we have been bombarded with American culture for years but I have felt far more of a foreigner in the USA, especially in rural areas, than when visiting Germany or the Netherlands.

Free from what? Oh I forgot, free to suffer under the cruel policies of an ultra right wing Tory government

Richie Russell not bbc material.

Earl Minime Are you referring to the disaster that was British Leyland.

Not just BL although that's probably the worst of the bunch. A lot of the car makers were killed because of the unions, in the interests of keeping their jobs (which I understand), protected themselves from the competition until it was too late.

@ Yeah that's a load of bullshit.

The british makes died because of the stupidity and greed of the people who were in charge of them. Triumph made cars of the 1950's for a quarter of a century. The MGB and the Mini were interresting cars in 1962, no more in 1980. The Healey was outdated in 1967. Same with Alvis and Bristol. The whole BL story is a train wreck.

@@rontauranac No. You are wrong. The people that were running them were the unions but they were indeed stupid and greedy.

If you want a totally de-regulated free for all with almost no worker, consumer or environmental rights and safeguards, it will be a world Dickens wrote about and Marx warned about!

This guy is an idiot who values profit above everything else. Unfettered Capitalism inevitably becomes crony Capitalism.

@@bryangeake5826 Your bizarre statement that Britain's GDP benefits by £6 for every £ put in is only true if you conflate membership of the EU with every bit of business done with companies in EU countries: it has nothing to do with the EU itself. Remember Britain is leaving the EU and not Europe. You must know as well as anyone that Britain is a net contributor to the EU by about ten billion quid a year. As for leaving the EU will mean "a totally de-regulated free for all with almost no worker, consumer or environmental rights and safeguards, it will be a world Dickens wrote about and Marx warned about!" I think you are a victim of 'project fear' as I seem to remember that before this country ever joined the Common Market now known as the EU workers had rights and even holiday pay. In fact, I'd argue workers have fewer rights since Britain joined the EU. As for the NHS being privatised why do you think the EU were, at one time, having secret talks with TTIP if not to privatise the NHS? You seem to think the EU is some sort of benevolent organisation that care about the ordinary person but nothing could be further from the truth.

@@ruthbashford3176 Once outside the single market with customs union we will cease to have the macro economic advantages that has resulted in this multiplier effect, its not bizarre, unless one is talking about the absolute determination of leavers TO REFUTE BASIC ECONOMIC REALITIES!! that IS BIZARRE! a case of remodeling reality to fit a non-objective based emotional position that has to maintain that the EU is a malign force that disadvantages the UK. It is a symptom of island-ism that is based on xenophobia and ignorance!

Also Boris what was your thing about kippers in the conservative leadership election, the Ice pillow the quoted was watsteful, which it could be considered as such, is mandated as a part of UK regulations, not EU ones. Also the law that I believe you cited in your resignation letter about protections given to female cyclists was a EU law that passed with some resistance from the UK government. Anyway have a nice day.

Pole Nit ..local government competes for EU funds for local projects .. so if you feel money is wasted complain to the local government not the EU.. and funding for technical college etc is the responsibility of the U.K. government ... not the EU.

I can tell you that the EU has provided funding for internet infrastructure to rural communities ....

There is no comparison between the UK and Singapore. And don't forget Singapore is a surveillance police state so where's the 'freedom' the 'leavers' bang on about if we become more like Singapore

Why?

Also in many respects we are a free trading nation as in the EU we have access to not only europe but also many countries from around the world, provided that they meet EU standards, mainly in the areas of safety. This means that not only are UK consumers getting most of the benefits of free trade but are also kept safe by the necessary safety standards. Also to put one irrefutably dubious claim to rest the claim that chlorinated chicken doesn't kill many people is a downright lie as not only does the US have a rate of food poisoning in the region of 10 percent, ours for reference is around 1 percent, the amount of deaths from food poisoning is also higher on a per capita basis by a factor of over 10 percent factoring in their abissmal healthcare system.

@@iainlewis9031 your argument just relies on assuming UK laws will automatically get worse when out of EU control because your bias ? Why would they even need to change or if they do who says they will not improve. Also how can it be the worse country to work in when all EU countries follow the same workers rights laws. Maybe people should take responsibility for themselves to have a good job or business rather than blame the government for their own failings in life. It would be the socialist who would ruin this country by punishing business owners and any one that has worked hard and got themselves out of poverty. If there was no businesses there would be no jobs for workers in the first place. You also seem to think the EU can not do any wrong. If really took the time to study it you would see that its meddling is just about justifying its existence. A country dose not need to governments.The EU is all about empire building and not about you? My grandparents were poor but worked very hard their whole lifes ruining a farm and starting up a couple of small business which they ran for years. They never became rich but yet are still being given a £75,000 capital gains tax bill or face prison while now in their 90's. The tory's want to get rid of this type of socialist state theft along with the 40% inheritance tax which effects lots of middle class home owners in London. But labour want to increase this so effectively they can give it to people that are dependent on state handouts or just dont want to work to close the gap in the classes. How can that be fair. what kind of message dose that give to people.(There is no points trying in life because the government just take it all away from you in the end one way or another). Richard branson was a poor kid once and now he is one of the riches guys in the world by taken advantage of all opportunity's there is to had in this country. The social help to be had in this country is a great thing when people need it but to punish capitalist thinking people for becoming successful is border line criminal. In my opinion every one should pay the same amount of tax and it should not be done on how hard you work or how successful a individual has become job wise.

Funny the world seemed normal back then. Now it's far from normal. Well planned though

we traded for around 2000 years before the EU came along and bearing in mind 60% of our trade is already outside the EU under WTO, it is certain we will cope. The supply chains of the 1970s have moved on, technology has moved on. Being outside the EU for the other 40% is extremly do-able
