[Politics] Brexit

theonlymikey said:

This is quite silly really. Recession fears were being driven by an on-going trade war between the US/China which have now eased off. Let us not forget Italy have been 'folding' for 4 years now and still haven't. So I think Germany will be fine. Contrary to belief, it wouldn't have affected the UK anyway as we are not required to be part of any financial rescue packages as per the treaties.

Also, Brexit is having an effect on Germany as well as ourselves, how could it not? Let's not forget that we have just had a contraction ourselves.

In terms of Billions lost in membership fees, Germany are net contributors themselves. The only countries which stand to lose out are net beneficiaries of the Bloc, unless the EU can enforce higher fees for the remaining members.So I am not really clear why Germany would ever need to replace £Bns.

Brexit or No Brexit, I do not expect money to stop moving between the UK/EU and trade will continue, with money flowing from the UK into the EU. So I am not particularly sure why anybody would think the EU automatically become at further risk after Brexit. Unless we switch suppliers of certain products to none EU countries.

Are you denying that the ability to live and work across the EU is going to be affected by Brexit?

It's quite obvious he was talking about Visa free travel here, right to settle and find work within 3 month etc etc.

But for whatever reason, you're clearly on one. . .

I just asked you how we can 'travel freely', you decided not to answer me. Well done.

Sussex Nomad said:

And you don't think we can do this? I did a year in the USA and had no problem whatsoever.

I highly doubt you entered the USA Visa free.

CHAPPERS said:

Yeah I'm ready to tell my child when he's old enough to understand that one day UK residents had the rights to live, love, study, work and travel freely across 27 nations, but some very short sighted close minded people voted to remove that ability from him.

Sussex Nomad said:

When have we ever been able to travel freely? Have you been to Spain without your passport?

Thunder Bolt said:

You have mentioned travelling freely whilst ignoring the other part of his post which mentioned live, love study and work. Travelling is a very small part of it.

Sussex Nomad said:

Quite simply because you can do all of that without being in the EU. I picked up on travel freely because it isn't correct. My passport ran out over the summer, I can't pop over to France without it.

Mo Gosfield said:

How many times has he changed political allegiance recently without fighting a by-election and yet he still expects people to take him seriously.
The man is a self-serving, odious, creep, embracing the worst elements of sneering elitism amongst the pro-EU middle classes.

Parliament rejected May’s deal 4 times, Johnson could put 10 down and they would all be rejected by those self serving rats.

theonlymikey said:

The part where he was clearly talking about Visa free travel which led you to then pedantically bring up the USA for which you did nott have Visa free travel or a right to settle and look for work without a Visa. What part of that don't you get?
