Germany, the biggest economic power house of the EU is on the brink of a possible recession.

As a brexiteer - I’m glad we are leaving the EU.

The sooner people accept we are leaving the better, we voted for it, and we are going...

So by that logic, why weren’t you respectful of the result of the previous referendum on the same subject? We voted to join, get over it...

See also Cornwall, bellini.

What about the pot of money the EU gave us to deal with poverty? The one the conservatives didn’t spend. If they’re not going to spend money they’re given they’re hardly going to find it out of their own budget.

The pressure on the NHS largely isn’t caused by EU immigration. In fact it will probably get worse if we were to cut immigration off. It’s UK government policy that’s the issue. Schools is a slightly different issue, but again successive years of UK government policy is the biggest issue.

That referendum took place in 1975. Long before the EU expanded into FSU Countries in Eastern Europe.

I read yesterday that Johnson was considering some sort of All Ireland economy arrangement where NI matches the EU rules to keep step with Ireland and protect GFA. Which is the border in the sea solution, that plenty of us have been harping on about on here.

As per the EU's original proposal

How do you suggest we leave the EU OP ? All options including no deal involve negotiating the same stuff as was in the Withdrawal agreement before we move on to negotiating trade. Some people were not happy with the terms of the WA and it was voted against 3 times. So what would you like to see happen now ? I am not expecting you to come up with spread sheets or a fully formed plan, the whole of the Government haven't been able to manage it, just the roughest of sketches of an idea of how you see things moving forward Smile
