Hard Brexit it is. Let’s see the EU negotiating for their £39bn and not actin as hostile, petulant children.

Looks like they’re gearing up for a soft Brexit.

Whatever...zzzzzzzzzz.
How has our lives, let alone those we've spawned, improved while being in the EU?
All i see is public/private debt at record levels, the middle classes being shafted and dismal prospects for our young (along with many other countries).

Is this progress?

Too young to remember life outside of the EU to be honest. I just think that there is a lot more benefit to working closely together as a bigger entity. And a lot more to think about than just economics in terms of us prospering/failing to prosper with not being a member. I just feel that we don’t offer much as a stand alone country. For example where would we re-place the potential 80,000 employees that are looking to lose their job, if/when as promised, Airbus, BMW and Nissan(to name just three) withdraw from the UK? What major UK companies are there here to take these people on? There aren’t any. What about the joint research projects in health and cures and joint defence that we’re going to miss out on? What about just being close allies standing up to the might of Russia to stop them being able to run rough shod over Europe?
It’s easy to give it ‘zzzzzz’ but you can’t deny that all of these things are going to be detrimentally effected and some.
If you say “we don’t know anything yet” then your ability to use foresight is pretty poor to say the least.

Is it not Obama's fault? Or Draghi or Mr Bretton Woods?

Whatever it is, it just can't be the UK can it.

Mrs T was frank when she said she needed to blame someone else for Britain's economic woes and Brussels was ideal.

However she had not realised what she had started, a tory obsession with Europe.

That's what brexit is.

Long years ahead even worse if we leave.

Fairplay.
Life existed before 'the bloc' and life will equally exist outside of 'the bloc', as it has done for centuries.
'The bloc' was born on debt from day one of its inception but the debt is now bigger............which will, as ever, be paid for by those like you (and me).
So where is the gain in a system that continually robs you and how would it differ had we not been in?

The EU is not responsible for UK's debts, that seems to be your incessant problem.

Your debt, my debt, the countries debt is entirely our own responsiblity.

Nobody else.

Including Obama, it is not his problem either.

We’re a different country in different times to when we joined Europe. We don’t manufacture, grow or produce anything near to what we used to, because it is all far too expansive to do so.
The empire has long desolved yet there are a lot of people here in England who still harp on as if we’re a superpower and a great country still. We’re not. We’re an old fashioned country with old fashioned ideals. We’re so out of touch with the youth in this country it’s a joke. It’s almost like they’re aliens visiting from another planet. I didn’t witness this anywhere else in the world that I have visited. This to me shows how much we live in the past here in England and that is what a lot of Brexiteers are doing when they convince themselves and others that leaving europe is the right thing to do. Those days are gone mate. There are no British car companies coming through to fill all the jobs that are going to be lost and to be exported around the world. There are no leaders out there great enough to drag us back up by the scruff of our necks and make us a great stand alone country. We’re just going to be a bitter little country with a glorious past that will never return on our own. In this day and age it’s go big or go home. And we’ll never be big without Europe.

You do realise that Tata Steel is an Indian company, don’t you?

You also clearly don’t understand the nuances of this merger. Why don’t you read up on it?
