Took ze Germans decades to enjoy the rewards of an export economy but not are they enjoying it.

The basic differences in Germany are workers' rights and benefits - which the UK pales in comparison to and also the effective planning of their economy; ironically imposed on them by mainly the Allies after their victory. Shame we couldn't plan for f*** all ourselves.

Are there any smart people left who actually still stand by their vote to leave? Pound at its lowest for 40 years, UK imports already increasing and a less skillful labour force awaits....


Oh my what have you done

Absolutely still stand by my vote to leave. The majority of the doom warnings from Remain have of course proved to be nonsense. If the falling pound is due to Brexit, then it is a small price to pay to regain control of our own country once more.

Would losing access to the EU market, higher prices for foodstuffs, higher inflation, higher unemployment, tens of billions lost in tax revenues, having less security, more pollution in our seas and rivers, and one or two other negative things that will almost certainly happen in the years after Brexit, perhaps make you question the wisdom of your choice to Leave?

We would access the EU market in the same way that most other non-EU countries do. Higher prices for foodstuffs? We can trade with non-EU food producers who currently have massive tariffs imposed on them, which by the way are bankrupting African farmers. High unemployment? You mean like Greece's 24% and Spain's 20% and the EU average of 10% compared to our 5%? We intend to pollute the seas and rivers do we - why would we do that? We will certainly start to replenish our fish stocks that have been decimated by EU fishing 'policy'.

These will happen regardless and has very little to do with Brexit and more to do with the general economic state we find ourselves in, tbf.

The Environment Agency relies on EU cash, and they have done fantastic work with it in tandem with EU directives for cleaner rivers and seas.

The North Sea has much better fish stocks now

than at the end of the era when trawlers could take what they liked and how much they liked. The discard policy was extremely wasteful but has, I believe, been rectified.

I said 'higher unemployment' for the UK. You still didn't answer if you would think that as acceptable with a Brexit.

You speak from the hard heart. Not the head.

Well that begs the question then of what on earth are we doing making ourselves economically weaker and more vulnerable if that major sh1t is going to hit the fan anyway?

The EU fishing policy has been an unmitigated disaster for what was once a thriving British industry.
If we stayed in the EU unemployment rates would rise as the EU continues its descent into economic and social chaos.
I would certainly tolerate a great deal more cost to regain control of our country as in the longer term we would resolve short term problems. Staying in the EU would be like staying on the Titanic.
As for head v heart, I would say Remainers need to have their heads looked at.

All the bad things remain warned us of are unravelling and this is before brexit happens.

Todays bonuses are the financial sector parts of moving to Europe early next year, food prices due to the weak pound due to brexit I noticed in Tesco marked up generally, a few more foreign workers bashed by us for existing in our once proud nation now known for hate crimes.

There are more things than the price of fish (gone up too).

The Brexit result doesn't really make that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things as Europe is also majorly f-cked.
Apart from splitting the nation (divide and rule?), pretty much the only thing the referendum result has done is given the powers that be a more than decent 'excuse' (to the masses) for when our economy collapses, as opposed to the p-ss-poor economic policies that we've all been put through for many years now taking the (rightful) blame.
It's a win-win for them.

Whatever you voted for in the referendum win or lose you got the Tories.

Nuff said
