No, what was unmentionable back in the 70s (and although Heath might not have broadcast it, it was hardly a secret) has come to pass and brooding over it will help no-one. A salient & contemporary point is the Trade Deal Japan has just reached with the EU - a "No Deal" Brexit or TMs deal would leave us outside this agreement which took 4 years to conclude. Even if we can negotiate an equivalent deal there would be a gap when we would be at a disadvantage compared to the remaining (sic) 27 EU countries - is it purely coincidence Hitachi scrapped a £16Bn nuclear power station in Anglesy yesterday? Even if it's not directly down to Brexit it's generally agreed that the mess over Nuclear Energy Policy has been worsened by the lack of attention given to anything other than than the government's flagship, erm, policy!

jaybee Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 6 hours ago, TPAFKATS said: The concensus of economic opinion is that leaving with no deal will damage the UK economy. Economists from across the spectrum of opinion agree on this, they only differ on the level of damage that the economy will suffer. It doesn't take much to cause the economy to crash, 2% in 2008 was enough to give us a decade of 'austerity'. Who's consensus? because it is certainly not all and debatable if indeed there is a consensus? Are these Economists from the same SPECTRE that Mr Bond fought? Oh sorry across the spectrum of opinion agree on this, this says nothing, far more across the same spectrum may disagree I am assuming that you have had your crystal ball out and been led to believe that Brexit will cause an economic crash, otherwise how can you know, Oh wait a minute tch tch tch, I forgot . Economists across the spectrum blah blah blah blah. If you want to argue or discuss, for goodness sake use your intellect man and don't quote all and sundry.

Now we are well off the point . I really don't give a monkeys f**k about some trade deal done by Europe , l really don't . People are talking about how leaving the fascist supers-state , the Fourth Reich Europe will be detrimental to our ecomony , well maybe it will and maybe it wont but what we do know is that Europe has certainly destroyed the ecomony of more than one country. Another country in the Club is finding out that you get sanctions when your people reject Europe's imigration policy . Europe is a corrupt , undemocratic f**kup , set up for the financial benefit of Germany and they want to remove sovereignity from ever other country( Merkel has confirmed that) . We will leave , sooner rather than later . .hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will leave , sooner rather than later . .hopefullyThe point is that the trade deal done by Europe and Japan includes us. Once we leave it doesn't include us, therefore we will be worse off as we no longer have a trade deal with Japan. This will have a negative impact on UK economy. Also Japanese business that is currently based in UK is likely to move to one of the EU countries for access to the 27 countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
