"So far we have discovered 1. We now can catch as much fish as we like in UK waters. But loose access to EU waters and £100 million of exports to the EU as of 2019 figures. 2. Farmers can now cut down their hedges at a detriment to wildlife. 3. Blue Passport, printed in Poland. 4. UK government could end Zero hours contracts or not or even Zero contract all round. 5. Possibly of higher Road Vehicle Lighting Rules (RVLA) - I wonder how much that will add to the UK’s GDP. 6. A supposedly £9 Billion saving. Though this is likely to be offset by increased bureaucracy in dealing with WTO rules and loss of EU subsidies, grants and development aid to Uk regions. 7. Possibility of banning live animal exports by the end of 2021. But the NFU does not fully support this. - This is a good one. Do we have any more gems.... " We can now farm our own unicorns. | |||

Maybe he wanted people to vote based on their own views and what they thought was the right thing to do and not what he did? I guess most prefer to be swayed by their politics and whatever bollocks their chosen party feeds them instead | |||

"Read through part 1 and now part two. The thing that struck me from most replies is this, many don't answer the question or are unable to clarify their own statements when asked. Unless I'm wrong most responses seemed based upon a static concept of economy and a FEAR of change. Overestimating the stability of today can hamper the decisions we make about tomorrow. Those who voted Brexit seem to be those who saw the cracks, saw issues that many others seemed blinded to. They also see the potential, the pissibilities and a brighter future by regaining our sovereignty back again. It's was very telling that a couple very interesting points were posted about new jobs, new manufacturing, new investment and these were largely ignored by anyone stating that brexit will kill our economy, cost us more, make us weaker etc etc, Doom and Gloomers. Man was created for change, that is were the life is in a person, the ability to grasp it, move forward even into some unknown. The alternative is worth really considering as the changes many saw happening inside the EU was leading to a crumbling. With the UK gone it's crumbling faster and others may follow. It's the primary reason the EU leaders have been making as difficult as possible to cause fear in any others considering it. We were given a choice. We decided, grasp it and be part of the solutions and not the old problems. " How is it crumbling faster? We were given a choice based on a load of lies. Can you clarify what you exactly mean when you say. Taking our sovereignty back? In real terms.. what does that actually mean and what sovereignty has been lost? | |||

It doesn't mean anything in real terms, of course. Brexit has always been about feelings, not real world costs or benefits. | |||

"But we hablve our own powers and sovereignty back....except Im scottish so in reality havent really had that anyway in 200 years due to english run democracy (no offence). . Oo we have out powers back I personally now have the powers to be poorer and a tad more fucked off at border control heading to Spain on holiday, I hope. Ahhh our own fish...I love fish. I remember driving through Spain and stopping at this little taverna..they did a freshly caught fish from the local lake. Absolutly beautiful... Ooo Spain !!" Don't worry your leaders want another referendum to give you another option to leave and join the EU anyway as it didn't happen last time, so that'll be grand. | |||

"Allow me to further enlighten OP as to to the benefits of leaving the EU 1) Not spending £114 million a year OF OUR TAX MONEY so that the EU Parliament can move each month between Brussels and Strasbourg 2) Not funding the European Parliament ORCHESTRA ???!!!!!! 3) Commission President José Manuel Barroso had spent €249,000 (£221,610) on private jets at the time of the 2009 UN Convention on climate change. In the same year the Commission spent €300,000 (£267,000) on cocktail parties. 4) In the first two months of 2016 the EU spent nearly half a million euros spiriting its Commissioners and their courtiers around the Eurasian landmass in luxury chartered jets otherwise known as “air taxis”. Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker spent €29,268 (£24,000) on a private flight for himself and nine others to Rome for a two-day trip. And foreign affairs supremo Federica Mogherini spent nearly €82,927 (£68,000) chartering an aircraft to fly to Baku in Azerbaijan. Brussels’ oblivious elites still patronise the Esimit Europa II, the EU’s thirty-metre long, forty-four foot high luxury super yacht. As Marta Andreasen, the EU’s former Chief Accountant fired for whistleblowing over fraud and corruption wrote, EU governance is ‘lawless, corrupt, mistaken, undemocratic, bureaucratic, over-regulated and, ultimately, unworkable’.

The thing that is evident is the remainers keep raising displeasure about the vote. It won't change anything however.

" 4 points, one of which is about an orchestra. This is the best you have? Of course the EU is a bureaucratic organisation, with corruption and money wasted. Nobody ever claimed it was this saintly, perfect thing. But that's the way of the world. The rich and powerful look after each other. Look at our own government forever giving money to their mates. It doesn't mean we're best off out. If you think a penny of the money 'saved' by leaving the EU will ever make its way to your pocket you're deluded. | |||

Accusing people who don't bury their heads in the sand of being "negative" doesn't magic brexit into a good idea. I'd say you are holding on to what was the past. It's changed, it's happening so move on mate. If you can't see that then it's really stuck in. " Obviously it's way way past the point of no return. No one is suggesting that we can undo brexit. Are we now at a point where no one should express dissent? We should just accept all the shit silently? Just on brexit, or on everything else too? | |||

It's an opinion, it can be based on facts sometimes it isn't, it's an opinion as is yours. However in the case which you've just referred to I hadn't had any question asked of me either which gives irrelevance to you comment. Your comment is just another nonsense statement which doesn't add anything constructive. Most people are looking to answers and that's often why people counter argue, it's not that they really know the answers bit are looking for validation or sounding out what theirs sounds like. Few listen to learn, most don't want to learn, to shift or change their views even if wrong. To argue with some like that does help either side of the debate. | |||

This is the best you have? Of course the EU is a bureaucratic organisation, with corruption and money wasted. Nobody ever claimed it was this saintly, perfect thing. But that's the way of the world. The rich and powerful look after each other. Look at our own government forever giving money to their mates. It doesn't mean we're best off out. If you think a penny of the money 'saved' by leaving the EU will ever make its way to your pocket you're deluded. " That's the way of the world. Brilliant. The people who voted for Brexit said that's not the way of the world that they want. Whether it changes anything, apart from the fact that we are now paying for fewer to ride the gravy train, is not really the point. At least you know your place though and are happy with it eh | |||

"Allow me to further enlighten OP as to to the benefits of leaving the EU 1) Not spending £114 million a year OF OUR TAX MONEY so that the EU Parliament can move each month between Brussels and Strasbourg 2) Not funding the European Parliament ORCHESTRA ???!!!!!! 3) Commission President José Manuel Barroso had spent €249,000 (£221,610) on private jets at the time of the 2009 UN Convention on climate change. In the same year the Commission spent €300,000 (£267,000) on cocktail parties. 4) In the first two months of 2016 the EU spent nearly half a million euros spiriting its Commissioners and their courtiers around the Eurasian landmass in luxury chartered jets otherwise known as “air taxis”. Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker spent €29,268 (£24,000) on a private flight for himself and nine others to Rome for a two-day trip. And foreign affairs supremo Federica Mogherini spent nearly €82,927 (£68,000) chartering an aircraft to fly to Baku in Azerbaijan. Brussels’ oblivious elites still patronise the Esimit Europa II, the EU’s thirty-metre long, forty-four foot high luxury super yacht. As Marta Andreasen, the EU’s former Chief Accountant fired for whistleblowing over fraud and corruption wrote, EU governance is ‘lawless, corrupt, mistaken, undemocratic, bureaucratic, over-regulated and, ultimately, unworkable’. " You do know that Chris Greyling has managed to waste £3bn on his own. Is it a case of I don’t really care about waste and abuse of power if it is British? How about a clarion call against the chumocracy and graft in the Tory Party? | |||

" 4 points, one of which is about an orchestra. This is the best you have? Of course the EU is a bureaucratic organisation, with corruption and money wasted. Nobody ever claimed it was this saintly, perfect thing. But that's the way of the world. The rich and powerful look after each other. Look at our own government forever giving money to their mates. It doesn't mean we're best off out. If you think a penny of the money 'saved' by leaving the EU will ever make its way to your pocket you're deluded. No, I gave plenty of other benefits of leaving in the first thread. One of the problems a lot of remoaners have is that all their information comes from James O’Brien, who has this fantasy that Brussels is a saintly magical entity that exists for the good of mankind. He NEVER makes any criticism of the EU which destroys his credibility when the corruption and waste is so self evident. Corruption and waste are evident here as we have recently seen. No one pretends the eu is perfect..far from it.

As soon as someone says "remoaner" you know immediately that they have no point to make and can disregard everything they say. It's quite useful. " If they don't have a point to say what does responding to them then say? If the remainers had anything to say that will improve what they think the situation is going to be like instead of bemoaning they didn't win the vote then that label wouldn't stick. You you no longer change the vote which seems to be what most argument seem to be trying to do, but you can be part of the change. | |||

" Just popped in for 5 mins. Hope you’re all keeping well. Read the pis post and felt like answering. Have a good weekend. 1. The ridiculous moving is On the agenda to be stopped as it has been there as an overhang from the original EC and was used to alley fears of undue influence. All EU agree it has to stop now. House of Lords in U.K. has been there forever and still no sign of being abolished. EU haven’t stopped us doing that ever. 2. For the few pence per person the orchestra was based in the U.K. and drew players from across the EU and was a force for good. To back this up a positive comment from a well known Tory. “ The EU Orchestra sets an example to us all by demonstrating what harmony amongst nations can achieve”. Margaret Thatcher. We subsidise arts in the U.K. it’s a good thing to encourage our European unity. 3/4 Have you seen the cost for foreign trips by our MPs? 85% of which are amazingly to sunny destinations. Fact finding in the Caribbean seems to be popular. Add to this the costly trips by unelected Lords to the pot. Over £600million to run the houses of Parliament including various subsidised BARS and restaurants. This does not include the foreign trips btw as they hide under departments of government. Boris flew to Brussels yesterday on a private plane even though it’s only a couple of hours by train. Marta Andreassen is probably correct in many ways so agree corruption runs throughout all politics including ours. Boris and his fellow MPs feeding out of three trough of consultancy whilst MP’s for years. The U.K. retail association say they now have more red tape than ever in the last 40 years, as do the food importers groups. Gertjan Vlieghe, a member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee calculated that before COVID the cost of Brexit to the U.K. economy, even with a deal, is £40Billion per year. Without a deal it will be considerably more. NOW THAT’S CRIMINAL!! | |||

"So far we have discovered 1. We now can catch as much fish as we like in UK waters. But loose access to EU waters and £100 million of exports to the EU as of 2019 figures. 2. Farmers can now cut down their hedges at a detriment to wildlife. 3. Blue Passport, printed in Poland. 4. UK government could end Zero hours contracts or not or even Zero contract all round. 5. Possibly of higher Road Vehicle Lighting Rules (RVLA) - I wonder how much that will add to the UK’s GDP. 6. A supposedly £9 Billion saving. Though this is likely to be offset by increased bureaucracy in dealing with WTO rules and loss of EU subsidies, grants and development aid to Uk regions. 7. Possibility of banning live animal exports by the end of 2021. But the NFU does not fully support this. - This is a good one. Do we have any more gems.... " You do not get it simple.

"Allow me to further enlighten OP as to to the benefits of leaving the EU 1) Not spending £114 million a year OF OUR TAX MONEY so that the EU Parliament can move each month between Brussels and Strasbourg 2) Not funding the European Parliament ORCHESTRA ???!!!!!! 3) Commission President José Manuel Barroso had spent €249,000 (£221,610) on private jets at the time of the 2009 UN Convention on climate change. In the same year the Commission spent €300,000 (£267,000) on cocktail parties. 4) In the first two months of 2016 the EU spent nearly half a million euros spiriting its Commissioners and their courtiers around the Eurasian landmass in luxury chartered jets otherwise known as “air taxis”. Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker spent €29,268 (£24,000) on a private flight for himself and nine others to Rome for a two-day trip. And foreign affairs supremo Federica Mogherini spent nearly €82,927 (£68,000) chartering an aircraft to fly to Baku in Azerbaijan. Brussels’ oblivious elites still patronise the Esimit Europa II, the EU’s thirty-metre long, forty-four foot high luxury super yacht. As Marta Andreasen, the EU’s former Chief Accountant fired for whistleblowing over fraud and corruption wrote, EU governance is ‘lawless, corrupt, mistaken, undemocratic, bureaucratic, over-regulated and, ultimately, unworkable’. 4 points, one of which is about an orchestra. This is the best you have? Of course the EU is a bureaucratic organisation, with corruption and money wasted. Nobody ever claimed it was this saintly, perfect thing. But that's the way of the world. The rich and powerful look after each other. Look at our own government forever giving money to their mates. It doesn't mean we're best off out. If you think a penny of the money 'saved' by leaving the EU will ever make its way to your pocket you're deluded.

Gertjan Vlieghe, a member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee, stated based on actual GDP numbers that the U.K. is worse off by £40Billion a year even with a deal and the loss is expected to be greater without a deal. So benefit is by being in the EU not out. That’s a financial fact from our own Bank of England. So benefit is achieved by being a member. Would you like me to write it in crayon?

"No one has mentioned the free trade deal with Singapore yesterday and looks like Vietnam next. I thought we were told countries wouldnt want to trade with us outside the eu. Wow, that is amazing news, they must be huge deals That’s Singapore as in the country with the second highest GDP per capita in the world, and the worlds busiest cargo seaport? That Singapore yes? Are you gonna say this about every country we sign a deal with?" It’s good we have continued with Singapore but that’s holding on that’s not winning a deal. We according to Boris and Co are supposed to be copying the Singapore economic model here in the U.K. When you see their GDP which does look great I agree, do a little more reading and drill into the mode income. $10 a day is not uncommon . Exploitation at its finest. If you’re a low paid factory worker you’re not sharing in that fine GDP Deal is a deal though. If you look into the elite pay scales in Singapore it explains why our disgraceful leaders are drawn to the Singapore model. Cronyism beyond belief. Also clearly shows why Dyson moved his tax residency there. | |||

The UK can still trade with the EU but on different terms to what we usually do. To say or imply we will loose all trade with the EU is misleading. Many countries around the world trade with the EU without a deal | |||

Losing business due to customs costs and tariffs will just add to the pain. Boris says we will be fine. The royal we or just him? No country wants to trade on WTO terms as they are crap. Only Mauritania does and they are about to do a deal with the EU. China Russia and India have certain routes on WTO for protection or political reasons but definitely not to improve trade.

So we are doing rather better already eh Are people just ignoring what I posted? The UK has now secured trade deals with 57 countries that account for £193bn of UK bilateral trade. No Remoaner will answer you, they tend to follow the James O’Brien argument model - write a book about the merits of admitting you could be wrong, but then say it doesn’t apply to themselves lol. It really doesn’t matter how many trade deals we sign, how much the economy grows, the Remoaners will be crying their salty tears for ever more saying how much better off we would be in Europe even as Brussels collapses in on itself dragged down by its own decadence and corruption. When do you think Brussels ‘will collapse in on itself? Are you one of the leave voters who will only be happy if the EU fails ? I thought leaving the EU was about getting better trade deals with the rest of the world rather than keeping the ones we had ?? I specifically said Brussels, I hope all the EU countries under the despotic yoke can free themselves and ultimately work together in a free trade area without having 4% of their budget contributions lost to fraud every year. The fraud you mention is around £5-6 Billion then. If that’s correct. The U.K. government loses £40billion a year to fraud according to the governments own published figures. The money looks to be in safer hands than our own shit show!! Maybe try reading that back to yourself. Does that make any logical sense? Or have you accidentally on purpose muddled up two completely different figures? Most Remoaners in this thread have conceded at last that Brussels is a cesspit of corruption and waste." No one has said that Most of said we have a country that is absolutely rife with corruption | |||

"I think the ferry from Dover to Calais takes about 1 and half hours, Can anyone tell me how long the ferry crossings from Dover to Singapore takes " It would be the same. 1 hour and 30 minutes. But the problem is that remainers are too negative, and it actually takes days. | |||

"The future is not ferries, it's technology, AI, 3D printing etc meaning fewer goods needing to be transported" Yes i agree with you, the problem for post Brexit UK is that these products require a highly educated young workforce, like you find in places like Singapore and Ireland, the post industrial working class people of Britain do not remotely possess these educational levels and the 3rd level education system in the uk is not equipped to provide them in the quantities required,massive long term investment in education is required, and it takes at least 20 years to see any benefit from this investment | |||

No nothing wrong there. EU BUDGET 2019 at 4% fraud with total budget of €148B calculates to just under €6billion U.K. Government estimate on U.K. fraud in government £40Billion So the U.K. government loses at least £34Billion more than the European Parliament to fraud. So in actual cash lost the U.K. is way ahead ! But we are winning so feel free to claim that race! | |||

That's a lot of waffle, most of which you've made up/read in the Daily Mail. I don't know what you want me to say. Have a look into brexit. If we would have stayed, then the benefits would have been for all of us. As people voted leave, all the shit that comes with that effects all of us. The summary of the situation is the same as it was four years ago. Damaging to the economy. Businesses relocating to the EU. Losing our right to live and travel in EU countries. Losing protections over workers rights, environmental protection, safety standards. Being stuck in a quagmire of bullshit to deal with trying to fight for scraps of trade deals. Has no tangible benefits. As fun as these threads are watching brexiteers desperately clinging to the most vague straws they can. I'm starting to get bored, so I'll leave you guys to it. | |||

Or have you accidentally on purpose muddled up two completely different figures? Most Remoaners in this thread have conceded at last that Brussels is a cesspit of corruption and waste. No nothing wrong there. EU BUDGET 2019 at 4% fraud with total budget of €148B calculates to just under €6billion U.K. Government estimate on U.K. fraud in government £40Billion So the U.K. government loses at least £34Billion more than the European Parliament to fraud. So in actual cash lost the U.K. is way ahead ! But we are winning so feel free to claim that race! " As you know full well, two completely different figures, EU government fraud against private sector criminal fraud, one has nothing to do with the other. | |||

"The people voted you have to accept the consequences. Maybe the remoamers shouldn't enjoy any potential benefits. Would be interesting to read back over the soothsayers and prophets predictions in a couple years time. " The Remoaners won’t change their views, however well we do as a country, they will say with no evidence how it would have been even better if we were still a member. | |||

"No one has mentioned the free trade deal with Singapore yesterday and looks like Vietnam next. I thought we were told countries wouldnt want to trade with us outside the eu. Wow, that is amazing news, they must be huge deals That’s Singapore as in the country with the second highest GDP per capita in the world, and the worlds busiest cargo seaport? That Singapore yes? Are you gonna say this about every country we sign a deal with? Brilliant deal - Singapore has the same population as Scotland and is about the same size as the Isle of Wight! & we know how much BJ cares about both! Who is going to replace the business we do with the EU? It certainly isn’t Singapore... Just the Singapore deal is worth 17.6 billion. (The Isle of Wight’s main export is £84,000 of garlic). A billion here, a billion there, and you are quickly starting to talk about real money. Must really be hurting the heads of Remoaners to have to pretend to have a little englander mentality to support their arguments. It is good news, we need all the trade deals we can get , are these deals better than the one we already had ? Well the EU Singapore deal negotiations started in 2009 and took 10 years, and the EU USA negotiations started in 1990 and are nowhere near a conclusion. So we are doing rather better already eh Are people just ignoring what I posted? The UK has now secured trade deals with 57 countries that account for £193bn of UK bilateral trade. No Remoaner will answer you, they tend to follow the James O’Brien argument model - write a book about the merits of admitting you could be wrong, but then say it doesn’t apply to themselves lol. It really doesn’t matter how many trade deals we sign, how much the economy grows, the Remoaners will be crying their salty tears for ever more saying how much better off we would be in Europe even as Brussels collapses in on itself dragged down by its own decadence and corruption. When do you think Brussels ‘will collapse in on itself? Are you one of the leave voters who will only be happy if the EU fails ? I thought leaving the EU was about getting better trade deals with the rest of the world rather than keeping the ones we had ??

I haven't seen any "remoaners" posting. Just people who understand what's going on and who don't want to put up with the utter cluster fuck that we said it would be. May need some explanation to your random statement that's seems to say very little other than, you seem to know you what will happen, you have a better knowledge and understanding of all that in volved than those in policy and negotiation and obviously unaware of many of the things remainers said would happen that never came about. So may I as if you could list in your knowledge 1. What is it that is going on as you say, presumably doom and gloom. 2. You're not putting up with IT. What is this it and what are you doing that means IT is not effect you? 3. Lastly can you explain what is THIS cluster fuck and what makes it a cluster fuck that you're talking about? Sure. 1. Brexit. 2. Brexit. It effects all of us, not just those who voted for it. 3. The last four years we've had this brexit thing going on. It's an utter clusterfuck from day one. Exactly as "project fear" said it would be. Hope this helps. So you still haven't explain how except in utter vague terms like some news of the world headline. Unconvincing arguments as it's just opinions that you're saying with no details as per most response in here. It's noteworthy that most Brexit posts are by those who aren't happy and continue to try to get more on board in their unhappy boat. If the vote had gone the other way then it would also effect all of us and not just those who voted against it. Much like saying the pope is Catholic. Such a revelation. The last 4 years have been primarily the EU trying with all its powers to prevent it and cause as difficult a transition as possible, with the single goal of scaring anyone else who may wish to do so, like they did with Greece and succeeded. Unlike Greece we aren't being bl*CK m*Iles into staying. You avoided the most important question and that was what are you doing to avoid it. You seemed so confident and assertive in your statement of not putting up with it. But all I hear is moaning, not anything constructive that demonstrates you're not putting up with it? I'm asking because that would help your cause knowing there is something positive that can be done. Offer something as you say your doing it. If there isn't what do you gain from your rhetoric? That's a lot of waffle, most of which you've made up/read in the Daily Mail. I don't know what you want me to say. Have a look into brexit. If we would have stayed, then the benefits would have been for all of us. As people voted leave, all the shit that comes with that effects all of us. The summary of the situation is the same as it was four years ago. Damaging to the economy. Businesses relocating to the EU. Losing our right to live and travel in EU countries. Losing protections over workers rights, environmental protection, safety standards. Being stuck in a quagmire of bullshit to deal with trying to fight for scraps of trade deals. Has no tangible benefits. As fun as these threads are watching brexiteers desperately clinging to the most vague straws they can. I'm starting to get bored, so I'll leave you guys to it.
