And not to listen would be folly for every nation in the World.
After all:
"she’s responsible for legislation affecting more than 700 million Europeans".
That Legislation can affect every other country in the World. |

You wouldn't get that story past dozens of tankers that were high-jacked in the Arabian Sea or the American Warships that were attacked in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. |

Would you transport 1000s of tonnes of cargo on a speed boat ? Would you transport 1000s of people on a speed boat? When it come to global trade would you prefer to be a tanker or a speedboat? |

We spent over £120 billion leaving the EU, we didn’t do that to get the same desks as we had before? We will have to get better deals just to break even in 20 years |

Indeed we do and with the way the French are behaving with regard to not wanting to have the vaccine it will be a while before they do even if they have all the vaccines they need. |

I agree, but if COVID continues to mutate and developes a strain that bypasses the vaccines then we are back to square one again. It’s good that the UK are going well but it needs to be a global effort |

It could take longer, we need trade deals that are worth more than what we previously had, otherwise that £120 billion will never get paid off (not to mention the huge interests on it) |

Work your way through these . . .
Click each country link in turn to see what part is new and what part is continuation and what part is a derivative of all.
News deals have also been agreed with Canada and Mexico. The government says these will start "in early 2021".
The UK is also seeking membership of the Pan Asian Bloc.
Before Brexit, the UK was automatically part of any trade deal the EU reached with other countries. When the UK left, the EU had about 40 trade deals covering more than 70 countries.
So far, the UK has made deals to continue trading in the same way with 60 of these countries. The other 10 are in process. |

There isn't any interest on what we still owe the EU. These formed contracts and commitments to things like pensions before we left.
These are also paid each year as we would have done if still a member - we had this conversation before. |

The £120 billion is the cost to our economy for leaving the EU, the £20 billion is the money we owe the EU , 2 separate totals . The £120 billion will have been paid for by loans adding to our debt, this will accrue interest |

"Originally, the settlement was estimated to be about £39bn, but a lot of that was paid as the UK's regular contributions to the EU budget.
From January 2021, there was about £25bn left to pay by 2057, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), almost £18bn of which will be paid in the first five years."

"That Tanker f*cked up vaccine delivery in the EU - slow and cumbersome.
This little speedboat sped through and got the deal done.
Using EU legislation.....
Winging it there lol. Not even close.
We haven’t made a single new trade deal .
And there was me posting 27 signed deals (including the EU one which is re-signed and about a dozen other in various stages of process. But I suppose you will absorb what suits you to absorb.
The clue is in the word ‘new’, all the deals are continuation deals, nothing mew so if we have a deal with the eu and get lots more deals isn’t that good for the U.K. bud or are ya going to find fault with that ?
We spent over £120 billion leaving the EU, we didn’t do that to get the same desks as we had before? We will have to get better deals just to break even in 20 years is 20yrs a fact or yr best guess ?
Tbh it’s a guess based on £6 billion a year , ok so I won’t put any money on it then lol
It could take longer, we need trade deals that are worth more than what we previously had, otherwise that £120 billion will never get paid off (not to mention the huge interests on it)
Is it now 120 billion? Normally we get quoted 200 billion although some remainers have said as little as 40 billion.
Hope people aren't just making numbers up as they go
120 is between 40 & 200 billion, "
So er 120 billion with error bars of 80 billion each way?
Seems like a pretty wide margin there.
Like someone claiming a 12 inch cock with an 8 inch error bar. |

You set the parameters at 40 & 200 billion, care to give us a more accurate figure that reflects those numbers? |

Bloomberg claims it is £200 billion. Of course these figures can’t be 100 % accurate, hopefully you can counter this figure with another study ?

They're the numbers that various remainers have quoted over the past few months.
I however put the figure at plus 9 billion a year in brexit empire benefits. |

There was lots of talk before Brexit was done and signed that if we didn't get the deal or if we couldn't convert previous agreements to continuance agreements then UK PLC would lose X Billion this or X Billion that. But we did get the deal signed, and we have converted those deals to WTO and various others. So much of what you have read has been a big 'What If?'

Ah, so we can’t rely an ‘any kind ‘ of forecasts now or in the future? You don’t believe Bloomsburg or the IMF, so you must have a very reliable source that isn’t a forecast that shows that their numbers are incorrect |

IMF has been wrong on so many occasions they have been criticised heavily for downgrading economic forecasts.
CER is Pro European.
Bloomberg is just a news organisation when all said and done.
No you most definitely can not rely on forecasts. You can use them to guide a policy direction. You can use them to most definitely tell you not to set a policy direction. But in all cases you make a choice. And just as often the reality never matches the forecast.

I see, so what is your Brexit cost calculation? How about looking at the UKs national debt, it increased by 227 billion from July 2019 to July 2020, I realise that 4 months of that was due to the pandemic but that is still a huge increase |

It was still a forecast - and no proven figures as to the outcome of that forecast.
The BOE also predict a rapid upturn in the economy this week - way above previous expectations - naming two factors - 1. Deal Done. 2. Covid Pent-up Spending.
Isn't that funny I told a story here before the current lockdown (October) about a friend who runs a Renault dealership, and he said he couldn't wait for the new lockdown because post covid pent-up spending was through the roof last time. Far above their regular figures.

It was still a forecast - and no proven figures as to the outcome of that forecast.
The BOE also predict a rapid upturn in the economy this week - way above previous expectations - naming two factors - 1. Deal Done. 2. Covid Pent-up Spending.
Isn't that funny I told a story here before the current lockdown (October) about a friend who runs a Renault dealership, and he said he couldn't wait for the new lockdown because post covid pent-up spending was through the roof last time. Far above their regular figures.
You don’t trust forecasts? Why has GDP growth percentage decreased every year since 2016? "
"Since 2017, a major global slowdown in growth has been taking place in many countries of the world, and several European governments have had economic crises. These measures began to be exacerbated in September 2019 . . . " |

"The Recession began in the UK in 2008 and continued until 2012. We are currently in a Covid Recession.
Feels like we have been in a recession for about 20 years "
It doesn't feel to me like we've been in a recession for 20 years. That's all of my adult life, and for the large part it's been pretty good to me. |

Indeed. But it was the end of 1991 before that. |

The IFS said it had cost at least £100 billion

See . . . that article was 8 Oct 2019
And the forecast was only up to 2020
Forecast not actual cost
Ah, so we can’t rely an ‘any kind ‘ of forecasts now or in the future? You don’t believe Bloomsburg or the IMF, so you must have a very reliable source that isn’t a forecast that shows that their numbers are incorrect
IMF has been wrong on so many occasions they have been criticised heavily for downgrading economic forecasts.
CER is Pro European.
Bloomberg is just a news organisation when all said and done.
No you most definitely can not rely on forecasts. You can use them to guide a policy direction. You can use them to most definitely tell you not to set a policy direction. But in all cases you make a choice. And just as often the reality never matches the forecast.
What about the Bank of England ?

They state we were losing £800 a week up to feb 2019

So the IMF are wrong? Bloomberg are wrong ? The BOE are also wrong (although you believe a some of their forecasts) ? Apart from the ‘divorce payments’ Brexit has cost nothing and hasn’t adversely affected our economy? |
