Brexit party tops Westminster election poll for first time

Years ago in retail, a Dutch customer said to me, 'We're all European". I replied, "You might be, I'm British". The fool didn't say another word whilst we completed the sale. Another gullible.

 

Moving right along ...

 

Chog in the flannel. GB drifts further out into the Atlantic.

Donald Dork welcomes British Isles with open arms.

Go for it, GB ... !

 

You must be thinking of continental drift.

I was indeed, but that has nothing to do with "political drift" that I was actually insinuating. The British right-wing might think that increased exports to the US will compensate for the decreased exports to the EU. Which aint-necessarily-so.

I meant that moving export orientation westward to the US from eastward is really bad news for the UK:
*The UK has much lower unemployment presently than the rest of Europe. (6.5% vs 3.8%). But that is not going to last forever, especially if its trade pattern shifts westward from eastward. I forecast UK unemployment at 5.5% in two years.
*The US has lower total production-costs than the UK so the British market in the US for its hard-goods is limited. (Which was not necessarily the case in the EU!)
*The EU gets its act together with great difficulty (due to its population size).But the downward trend in EU unemployment rates is in the data - see here. Thank you Britain for creating even more jobs in the EU as it replaces the slack of UK products/services!!!

And the UK is foolish to extract itself from a "common market" the value of which is 44% of its total export market.

So whatz gonna happin? UK exports will diminish because they COST MORE in your prevalent market, the EU*. And UK imports will diminish because they cost more as well. The import tariff barriers will see to both. Meaning what?

Two prevalent factors:
-The UK is going to see a serious increase in its unemployment rate because exports will plummet.
-The UK is will suffer from reduced exports (to the EU) that will cause work layoffs.

And your Brexiters are saying that the slack will be made up by British exports to the rest of the world? Which is a large bit of malarkey! British exports are NOT GENERALLY LESS EXPENSIVE!

So what's gonna happin? Labor is going to waltz into Downing Street with music and a cheer* ... !

*Which is a great shame because Corbyn is a first-class jerk!

 

First of all, the Channel Tunnel should have never been built. Any connection to France was/is a bad idea. If you want polite people, holiday in Spain. Even my 78 year mother said the French are arrogant. I can confirm that having holiday there once. Having to go back at the end of June because the girlfriend wants to go, so I'll have to tolerate the unwashed sweaty's again. If I was in charge, I would detonate explosives under every square inch of the tunnel.

The Remoaners have tried all this doom and gloom fear mongering, it never materialises and the opposite always happens. Notice how France is near bankrupt!!

Fingers crossed that Boris is elected and we leave the EU dictatorship, the unelected corrupt *******s.

As for the terrorist Corbyn, is a laughing stock.

 

I will not thank-you for a reply that is overtly personal in nature.

The channel-tunnel works perfectly well. And once Brexit happens, you (plural) in the UK are going to have one helluva time being well-received anywhere on the continent. Because you fail to understand the meaning of the words Common Destiny ...

As for your personal remarks regarding the French, I could not agree more. But at least they have the good-sense to believe in a unified and collective Europe.

A Europe that has been massacring its people with wars ever since the Roman Empire self-extinguished ...

 

And will work even better come Brexit. I have often thought that the Remainers, with their almost pathological desire to have the UK run by any nation that is not the UK, will never really be happy once Britain leaves the EU. I thought that the best solution would be to take them to Dover, stand them on the beach and tell them that only a few short miles away lies freedom in a continent without unemployment or racism or injustice or Brexiters and that they should start walking. Admittedly, there would be the question of twenty miles of water, but I am sure that the Gods in Brussels would soon enable their new worshippers to walk on it or part the Channel. But there is no reason for even this. The Remainers could walk through the Chunnel, except for the last few hundred yards which they would naturally want to crawl on their hands and knees prior to kissing Jean Claud's backside.

 

Rambling blah, blah, blah!

The total effect of Brexit is NEGATIVE for GB. British industry will face import duties into a, EU-market of about 600 million individuals (and the second best income per capita after the US).

Ya gotta be blind or stooopid or both to refuse to understand the GDP-whammy that Britain's consummate-idiocy will provoke upon its exit from the EU.

And that mentality is precisely what the UK far-Right is today demonstrating - an INSULAR MENTALITY that can only self-inflict economic harm upon its people ... !

 

I don't mind tightening my belt if it gets us out of the EU. And of course, if I and my fellow leavers go short then so so will the remainers, which will be pretty the cherry on the cake.

 

Being honest about wanting to harm your own people takes away any fake pretense that you believe this will be good for your country.

 

Add to it the new Mercosur trade deal.

 

This is hilarious, Ann Widdecombe in the UN.

 

People were particularly unimpressed at her equating Britain leaving the EU as slaves rising up against their masters

and she doesn't think it was?!

Reminded me a bit of the Adams family.

 

Everybody's going to leave the EU once it collapses anyway.
