    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It is a small as a % of gdp. I have no idea as to how 30bn takes 45 years. Maybe it’s like a mortgage where you pay a large portion of interest in your first payments? Don’t know. What are the known benefits, apart from the blue passports? We have admitted we cannot control some of our borders...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    „Common Sense“ is a very vague term. Things that have been discussed, amended, voted on and ratified are usually more reasoned than what people like to call „common sense“. Yes, the EU is not perfect, nor is the U.K., but there are many advantages to remaining in the EU and not many for leaving...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    „Their way“? We are a part of „they“ and we wanted such things as the single market. It is not them and us at the moment. We were part of the rule making and we have to abide the rules of the single market.

    What did we ask for? End of free movement? As regards benefit tourism, there is a lot of support for ending that. Stricter rules for staying longer than 3 months. These are up for debate.

    That is not true. Juncker has put suggestions on improving democracy and so have others.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    No. Something may be wrong with the people passing off their nationalistic narrative. On the one hand we are protected by environmental and labour laws from the EU. On the other hand the rich and powerful newspaper owners and hedge fund owners don’t like this ‚red tape‘ and would rather their...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    No, if you have got money and/ or a stable job. It is if you are poor or just about managing. Leavers will be held to account if this goes pear shaped.

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    „The CEBR said that a trade deal with Brussels looked more likely after Theresa May agreed a transitional deal with the EU earlier this month, and that Britons should look forward to lower inflation and higher wages over the next few months. The UK – currently the world's sixth-largest economy –...

    Oh Jeremy Corbyn

    You are in denial. Brexit is becoming a disaster. Apart from blue passports, can you list the tangible benefits so far? Or in sight?
