 ) that would save us £38bn, so if we take the lower estimate that would cover all of it, simples, however if we take the higher number we are still £28bn short, so I guess we would also have to cut quite heavily elsewhere.
Or Health, those Brexitier tell us that load of our health budget is spent on foreigners anyway, so if we cut 48% of the health budget, we probably wouldn’t even notice, right? Just sack half the nurses, close half the hospitals, close half the GPs surgeries, get rid of half of the ambulances etc.
Or as so many pensioners voted for Brexit, maybe we should take it from the pension budget, and cut that by 42%? Thats what they voted for, right?
So what do you think we should cut to find £66bn of savings each year? Or do you think maybe we should scrap the idea of a “Hard Brexit” after all? | |||

"Politicians and statistics combine to make anything possible, it is all talk, yes right now just a load of hot air or reports not worth the paper they are written on. The people of the UK have spoken, it is democracy like it or not, agree with it or not, if eligible we all had our vote. Best thing would be to get on with it and see how it goes, no point crying over spilt milk "We are talking about the terms of the exit, not the exit itself. | |||

"Good to hear you are party to these terms as they have not been negotiated, guess this makes for more hot air. It is good to hear opinions on politics and current affairs everyone has and is entitled to their views. Sadly most of us are in the dark as to what happens next but I would suggest the same applies to all the people inside the EU as the politicians and Brussels bureaucrats voice differing opinions and views. As for Hard Brexit or Soft Brexit there is no such thing, there is only Brexit or remain and the majority want Brexit." I don't believe that the majority of the UK want the government to have to find £66bn in savings each and every year. | |||

"How about we - shock horror! - increase taxes on the richest and tighten up tax loopholes so we stop doing sweetheart deals with Google, Vodafone and the rest. That would certainly cover the missing money rather than more cuts to welfare." £66bn of tax increases, from a Tory government? I know you are saying to put it on the rich, but if we spread it over everyone it would be £1,000 for every man woman and child in the country, each year, just to stay in the same position as we are now. | |||

" Which will be impossible with the effect of inflationary effects so you can add a significant wedge to that. You would think that rather being at a loss the new, thriving post Brexit world the country would be a lot better off by then? Still that is in the longer term. In the short term £GBP is now 24% down on the $USD this year and is the worst performing of the 32 most actively trading commodities meaning that all the things we buy are about to get a lot more expensive. It's ok though cos we can get immigration under control. As long as Brexit isn't actually successful that is, because if by some miracle it would be a success, we would need more immigration than we already have. | |||

The fact that it was written pre referendum in the days of Cameron and Osborne but is still being validated today 4 months later is telling. Someone in the Treasury is making the point loud and clear that the likely outcome of the direction that the current Govt is taking will be costly. Of course what could happen now is that they sack the Treasury officials responsible and employ others who will write the things that Prime Minister want them to say. After all, what would be the point of employing experts who tell you what you don't want to hear when you can employ someone who will tell you what you do want to hear. | |||

"You clearly confuse the issue by saying the initial post was regarding terms of Brexit yet you quote consequences of Brexit. Take tax (unless you are part of the EU ask the Irish!) it is domestic policy so reductions in Education, Health or Pensions would be due to money available to spend against tax revenue. While many commentators and experts say one thing and many others the opposite, nobody knows as it is a mix of forecasts, speculation, assumptions and best guesses. Sadly this is the reality of our current situation, nobody in this house (as in hubby and I) voted to leave but it has been decided so all that can be done is what the Government is saying "get the best deal for the UK" You can speculate all you want and you can put forward any point of view but please do not confuse issues as terms of leaving are not consequences. The only way to find out is to leave, the terms will be negotiated between the parties. " The Treasury documents are about how a Hard Brexit (leaving the single market) will lead to reduced tax income, which will leave the budget with a £66bn black hole, therefore effecting how much money we have to spend on Health, Education, Defence etc. If we have a Soft Brexit, and stay in the Single Market, we won't have a £66bn black hole in the budget. In both scenarios we leave the EU, but its the terms on which we leave that we are talking about. To say that parliament shouldn't get a vote on this is both ridiculous and worrying. | |||

Typical of the Europhile EU luvvies at the BBC though so i wasn't at all surprised by that particular revelation. I don't often watch the BBC though, prefer sky news myself anyway, and it was reported on sky news.
And yet you cant provide a single link? That seems strange.
As for Mervyn King, why do you believe the former Governor, but not the current one? I had a look to see what he is up to now, to see if he is still active in economic research, according to Wikipedia "He is a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, sits on the Advisory Council of the London Symphony Orchestra, is a President of Worcestershire County Cricket Club, Honorary President of Ekenäs Cricket Club in Finland,[3] and a Trustee of the National Gallery.[2]". So it doesn't sound as though he is spending time looking at the economy, unlike the Bank of England, Treasury, IFS, IMF, LSE etc. etc.
So you can use tools on the Internet to search and find out what Mervyn King is upto but you can't use those same tools to find a link to the IMF climbdown last week????
Utterly bizarre. "Neither to a link where the BoE admits it 'got it wrong on Brexit'. And yet they are the first to tell you 'you want to know...use google' Like you say.... utterly bizarre. | |||

"On the 23rd May the Treasury forecast this: "A vote to leave would cause a profound economic shock creating instability and uncertainty which would be compounded by the complex and interdependent negotiations that would follow. The central conclusion of the analysis is that the effect of this profound shock would be to push the UK into recession and lead to a sharp rise in unemployment" So why are you still quoting more gobshite from this discredited bunch of overpaid, phoney 'economists'? " Ah but they meant after article 50 was triggered really . Or maybe 2 years after that really  . Anyway, fancy pointing that out, the racist card will be played any minute now | |||

"Economics is a social science, NOT a science. Economic forecasts are nothing more than estimates, often based on questionable data and dubious assumptions. How many economists warned of problems if we failed to join the euro? The same people who warned of brexit disaster. The same people who failed to predict the financial crash, despite so many obvious hazards within the financial system (many of which are still unaddressed, BTW) The EU is essentially undemocratic, unaccountable, economically dysfunctional, non-compliant in financial accounting, a blatant lie in terms of the equality of economies required for a common currency, and it is absolutely resistant to reform. Why would a country which has a history of being the leading exponent of free trade not prosper outside of a trading zone which is addicted to protectionism and which has so failed its citizens?" You can spot a bad argument by the contradictions it contains. BTEXITers tell us in one breath that the EU is absolutely resistant to reform but then in the next breath will tell us the EU has fundamentally changed since we joined in 1975. So which is it? Has the EU fundamentally changed or is it absolutely resistant to reform. It can't be both. | |||

The EU has not reformed since 1975, it's just progressively gotten worse over time. | |||

It has changed in that it was an arrangement for her business to be able to operate a lot more efficiently. Now it has more strings than a harp attached to it. The single market is a great idea but it's all of the other things they are tacking on to it at every turn. And now they are going on about an EU army when we already have a shared army as in the UN. sometimes corporations can get too big and the EU is a corporation | |||

Fact or not, petrol prices will go up? Fact or not, food prices will go up? | |||

It's not a fact it's just a forecast/prediction based on dodgy assumptions. " On purely trade terms that just doesn't add up. We are going from completely unrestricted trade with the biggest, largest and nearest market in the world to something more restricted. We are abandoning 53 free (but not totally unrestricted) trade deals with other countries. If we increase our trade with the rest of the world (and there is no guarantee that we will) it won't be in the same totally unrestricted bases that we have now within the EU and even if we do manage to create some sort of Anglo Saxon common/single market or Commonwealth common/single market we'll have exactly the same questions of sovereignty (by whom and how are the single and common set of rules made) as we now have with the EU plus they are all a lot further away. So can that possibly lead to more trade. The reality is is that in terms of trade, outside the European Single Market, we will be somewhere between worse off and a lot worse off than we would have been if we stayed in it. That could mean that we're all poorer than we are now or it could simply mean that were less richer than we would have been but still possibly richer than now. | |||

"Fuel prices where already coming down as OPEC are reducing output But fuel goes up and down all yhe time Same as food prices up and down all the time All the experts in the world can predict and forecast cut the giblets ftom a chicken and read the signs !!!!! In the end its guesswork I grant you its informed guesswork but thats all it is The exit is going to happen nothing will stop that not you not your experts so stop putting arguements forward that you hope will derail the exit All your well informed intelligent well read arguements are just smoke and mirrors Just my opinion "Opinion V Knowledge. When OPEC reduce production, prices go up (not down as you incorrectly stated). Add to that a 20% loss in value of £GBP against the $USD and oil is priced in $USD. It is not an opinion that given these circumstances the price of fuel will rise in the UK, it is a certainty. AS a country that imports more than it exports it is also not an opinion that once the current wharehouse stock of consumer goods are gone, the replacement goods will be more expensive given the 20% loss of value of £GBP against the $USD. | |||

"The £66Bn is the forecast reduction in 15 years time." Considering that post Brexit UK was supposed to be a new brighter land with massive economic opportunities, it is extremely worrying that 15 years later we would be in a hole by £66Bn and not charging off into the future with prosperity as promised. | |||

The argument now is about how we leave and what relationship we have with the EU. That could be anything from something like Norway (pretty much in the EU in all but name) to Russia (not in the EU and hostile and opposed to it) or any points in-between. So everything to discuss and argue about even more so than during the referendum. | |||

I don't know if it is accurate or not, as it was produced for Osbourne to use in his Remain campaign. I'm not arguing one way or the other. But I know this, I export a lot to the the EU. At the moment with Sterling falling , it is good for my company, as my prices for EU customers are lower. Therefore my trade and tiny contribution to GDP has risen. If we went for a full, hard Brexit and went onto WTO rules (which I doubt) we would have tariffs added to our exports into the EU. These tariffs are 10%+ depending on the commodity. Since sterling has fallen, the price of our goods, would be similar to pre-referendum. I struggle to see the reason why export sales would fall. Also in that scenario, HMRC would receive 10%+ on EU imports, adding to government revenues. | |||

"There has been lots of interesting and intelligent chat but can I say ? I'm worse off now than 3 months ago and can't see how I will be any better off in the near future ? I can see why some companies would be glad of brexit as the goods they export should now be cheaper for their customers in Europe? No one can forecast what will be and wether things will be any better than before? Seems like a Russian roulette way of doing things ? Glad I had my holiday to America pre brexit !! Can't do that again So is there a simple way of looking at this or will it just be a full of arguments and told you so if it doesn't work ? Think all parties should be involved in sorting the brexit deal out ? After all someone will be left in power to sort it all out ? Glad it's not me !!" The thing to remember is prises went up and down before Brexit they will do after we have left the EU. No one knows what will happen until it does its just scaremongering. I do think we will be worse off for a few years but not forever. | |||

"As an importer who has lived with many currency movements over the years, I have to chuckle when commentators concentrate on short term movements, without ever referring to the longer term trends. Context is everything if you want a truthful picture. The recent pre-brexit high points of the pound against the euro were exceptional, highlighting the weakness of the euro zone, and it was not too long ago that sterling was within the 1.12 - 1.18 range, for quite a long term. Big surprise - life is full of ups and downs. 'Twas ever thus." I think we all understand the context of the UK leaving the Single Market, its a fairly substantial long term trend. | |||

"OP, you have great faith in economic predictions. I do not share your confidence in the ability to make long term predictions. 2007. Fed chair Alan Greenspan stated the world would need double digit interest rates to control inflation. There has been a near zero rate for the vast majority of the time. In 2010, Richard Branson predicted that for five years oil prices would hit an all time high. Five years later, the price was lower. Jean Robinson, one of the twentieth century's most prominent economists, predicted in 1967 that sooner or later North Korea's curtain of lies would begin to tear. In an New York Times bestseller, Prof Ravi Batra predicted imminent global turmoil. 1990 was the beginning of an extended period of boom. AIG's head of finances, Joseph Cassano, stated in 2007 that AIG would not lose a dollar in any credit derivative transaction. The company was bailed out in 2008. I could go on (and on and on). Yet you have unshakeable faith in a forecast of a £66 billion loss. I don't have faith in any economic forecast and I certainly don't have faith in one projected so far into the future when there must be a myriad of assumptions." I do understand your point, really I do, however I think with Brexit I have been convinced by the amount of experts against it, the quality of those experts, and the wide variety of fields that they come from (economy, health, defence, security, education etc.). I have no reason to believe that every single expert is wrong, or that their analysis is fundamentally flawed for some reason. When I look at the other side of the debate, I just can’t see any evidence to support that Brexit is good for either the UK, or the rest of the world. I see a lot of politicians talking it up and newspaper commentary, but I don’t see industry bodies saying that it would be good for the economy or for jobs for example. I could be wrong, but I am basing my opinion of what all the experts say will happen to the economy, can you honestly say that you are basing your opinion of what will happen to the economy on anything other than just blind faith? | |||

"So leaked Treasury documents show that a Hard Brexit will cost the UK between £38bn and £66bn per year in lost tax revenues. So what services do you think we should cut? The MOD costs us £45bn a year, so even if we scrapped it entirely, we would still be £21bn sh We could cut Education, close down all of those schools and universities (cos who needs experts right ) that would save us £38bn, so if we take the lower estimate that would cover all of it, simples, however if we take the higher number we are still £28bn short, so I guess we would also have to cut quite heavily elsewhere.
Or Health, those Brexitier tell us that load of our health budget is spent on foreigners anyway, so if we cut 48% of the health budget, we probably wouldn’t even notice, right? Just sack half the nurses, close half the hospitals, close half the GPs surgeries, get rid of half of the ambulances etc.
Or as so many pensioners voted for Brexit, maybe we should take it from the pension budget, and cut that by 42%? Thats what they voted for, right?
So what do you think we should cut to find £66bn of savings each year? Or do you think maybe we should scrap the idea of a “Hard Brexit” after all?"More bollocks they always get these things wrong go live in Poland if you want the EU | |||

"I've seen some ridiculous numbers but £66bn in lost tax revenue is preposterous "London is the current capital of European banking and the sector contributes £30 billion a year to the Treasury.

That is a massive assumption and pure guesswork on your part. Was discussed in Parliament a few days ago and the government is very confident all current passporting rights will be maintained. London is not only the capital of European banking it is one of the global capitals of banking worldwide. Remainers need to realise there is a whole wide world out there beyond the borders of the EU. | |||

So yes, it really does sound like sedition, treachery and perfidy to me. | |||

I'll tell you what real treachery is, it's wanting to hand over all our sovereignty to the EU on a plate, making EU law supreme over UK law and taking power away from our Parliament in Westminster and transferring it over to the Eurocrats in Brussels. Remainers like you would see our parliamentary democracy destroyed and our country swallowed up by a Federal United States of Europe. Some would call it treason, people like you are no better than Guy Fawkes. Maybe we should make an effigy of you and put it on a bonfire on November 5th instead of old Guy Fawkes. "The fact that we can legally leave the EU is proof that no sovereignty was ever permanently handed over to the EU and that Parliament, and parliament alone, remains sovereign in the UK as it has since 1688. The only real threat to Parliamentary sovereignty comes from where it has always come from, the executive(government). As for your comments about burning effigies I'll just put that down to you now not just wanting a hard BREXIT but a "well 'ard BREXIT" to. I'm afraid idle threats of violence won't stop those of us who actually really do love our country and want what's best for it and all the people who live in it won't be put of by that. I've faced far more scary things than you defending what I believe to be right, I'm not going to stop now. | |||

"I've seen some ridiculous numbers but £66bn in lost tax revenue is preposterous
London is the current capital of European banking and the sector contributes £30 billion a year to the Treasury. The UK will almost certainly lose its passporting rights and therefore the banking sector will gradually dissolve as foreign banks relocate to an EU country and U.K. domiciled banks close down their European trading floors.
Considering that just one sector that contributes £30 billion a year WILL (not could) be decimated by the loss of passporting rights (as a direct consequence of exiting the single market), it is not inconceivable that tax receipts of £60 billion or more could be lost across the whole of the UK.
It's not a certainty the UK will lose its financial passporting rights at all. That is a massive assumption and pure guesswork on your part. Was discussed in Parliament a few days ago and the government is very confident all current passporting rights will be maintained. London is not only the capital of European banking it is one of the global capitals of banking worldwide. Remainers need to realise there is a whole wide world out there beyond the borders of the EU. "Put it would definitely be a certainty we would keep them, and the £30 billions, if we weren't leaving the single market. | |||

I made no threat of violence towards you what so ever, but far be it from Remainers to lie and make stuff up on the spot. If you think I made a threat of violence then feel free to report me to admin as I'm sure it's against forum rules. What I actually said was make an effigy of you and put that on a bonfire like old Guy Fawkes. There is a world of difference between putting a real person on a bonfire and a stuffed dummy of someone on a bonfire, if you can't tell the difference between the 2 then maybe you have the intelligence of a stuffed dummy and there really is no helping you. | |||

"Fuel prices where already coming down as OPEC are reducing output But fuel goes up and down all yhe time Same as food prices up and down all the time All the experts in the world can predict and forecast cut the giblets ftom a chicken and read the signs !!!!! In the end its guesswork I grant you its informed guesswork but thats all it is The exit is going to happen nothing will stop that not you not your experts so stop putting arguements forward that you hope will derail the exit All your well informed intelligent well read arguements are just smoke and mirrors Just my opinion
Agreed shame the same amount of effort is,nt put into supporting THEIR county though.
But we are supporting our own count(r)y. You're the ones who've sold your people out to economic uncertainty and sold your country out to possible breakup and disunity. And all for a bunch of meaningless slogans. How's that putting any effort into supporting your own country. Sounds more like sedition, treachery and a good does of perfidy to me.
Just maybe we thought that the EU was a doomed institution up its own ass, unable to account for its income and expenditure and hell-bent on greater control. That really does not sound like sedition or treachery. Quite the opposite.
We could not reform it so decided it was time to leave it.
You might have thought lots of things, I don't know what you thought or really think now. All I do know is that you seen to be hell bent on creating as much disunity as possible between the UK and the EU and between the nations of the UK and the peoples legally living here in the UK (that's sedition). Many of you have said you know we'll be worse of but "don't give a shit" - acting to make your people and country worse of (that's treachery) and you've lied to your people (£350 million a day) to deceive them into believing what your trying to do is best for them (that's perfidy).
So yes, it really does sound like sedition, treachery and perfidy to me.
Erm, you're confusing me with someone else entirely.
I voted Brexit. I did not swallow all the propaganda.
As for creating disunity with people living in this country, why the fook would you ever assume that was my motive?
I have told you why I decided. Ascribe whatever ulterior motives you want. They don't exist.
Like I said, I don't know what you (2nd person singular) actually think or thought but you (2nd person plural) all seem to me to be acting in a way that is seditious, treacherous and perfidious. I can't ascribe any other motives to it because they simply don't add up in any logical, reasonable, sensible or meaningful way.
I am a first person singular.

No, I voted against a corrupt and overruling organisation that took our money, decided how we should spend it and dictated our laws and with whom we could trade.
And I am very tired of appeals to those economic organisations that you perceive to be experts. I chose personal responsibility. You choose "experts." I have expressed where economic experts have gone rather wrong in the past but received no feedback.
I have known a very bright economist who was employed by the Chancellor to provide advice. You know, it did not matter who the Chancellor was, she was asked to give advice supporting the latest political thrust. Paymasters, eh? Your appeals to "recognised" bodies is a bit like saying, "I can't be arsed to work it out myself.""Sorry my mistake, I thought that you voted based on the economic arguements because you said "I voted for economic sense" but what you actually meant when you said "I voted for economic sense" is "I voted against a corrupt and overruling organisation that took our money, decided how we should spend it and dictated our laws and with whom we could trade." I asked before and you couldn't answer me, maybe I'll try again. Which country is the UK currently NOT trading with that you want to trade with once we leave the EU? Also which EU law are you most looking forward to no longer having to obey? These are the points that you voted on, so they should be easy enough for you to answer. Regarding the experts, it's blindingly obvious, to me at least, that leaving the EU is bad for the economy, they are our largest and nearest trading partner, the experts just happen to agree with me, so I'm not ducking any personal responsibility at all. I will say though that they know more about the economy than I do. It would take a very arrogant person to say that people and organisations with a lot more training, experience and qualifications than me, know less about a subject than I do. Dont you think? | |||

You don't have to an economic expert to know that that clearly is more likely to lead to less trade, not more. | |||

I'm sorry, when did we ever only trade with Europe? We've been trading successfully in both Europe and the rest of the world for the last 40 years, from within the EU. "No we haven't. Firstly the EU has not been in existence for 40 years, the "EU" started in 1993. We have a massive trade deficit with the EU so how can you call that a success??? In comparison we have a trade surplus trading with the rest of the world outside of the EU, the Conservative MP Bill Cash highlighted this in the House of Commons in Parliament during the referendum debate. Switzerland (a country outside of the EU) has more trade deals than the EU. To this day the EU still does not have any kind of trade deal with one of the largest economies in the world, namely the USA. | |||

It sounds very much as if you were voting for jongoistic flag-waving crap. I voted for economic sense. There is no way that the silly philosophy behind the EU can survive.
I decided to get out of it before it collapsed. As opposed to continuing to wave some stupid European unity flag.
I wish to trade with Europe. I don't want to trade only with Europe or be a spoke in their wheel.
You voted because of Economics? Yet you voted against 90% of UK economists, against HM Treasury, against Nobel Prize winning economists, against the World Bank, against the IFS, against the IMF, etc. etc. etc. That makes no sense at all.
Which country does the UK currently NOT trade with, that you are looking forward to trading with in the future?
No, I voted against a corrupt and overruling organisation that took our money, decided how we should spend it and dictated our laws and with whom we could trade.
And I am very tired of appeals to those economic organisations that you perceive to be experts. I chose personal responsibility. You choose "experts." I have expressed where economic experts have gone rather wrong in the past but received no feedback.
I have known a very bright economist who was employed by the Chancellor to provide advice. You know, it did not matter who the Chancellor was, she was asked to give advice supporting the latest political thrust. Paymasters, eh? Your appeals to "recognised" bodies is a bit like saying, "I can't be arsed to work it out myself."
Sorry my mistake, I thought that you voted based on the economic arguements because you said "I voted for economic sense" but what you actually meant when you said "I voted for economic sense" is "I voted against a corrupt and overruling organisation that took our money, decided how we should spend it and dictated our laws and with whom we could trade."
I asked before and you couldn't answer me, maybe I'll try again. Which country is the UK currently NOT trading with that you want to trade with once we leave the EU?
Also which EU law are you most looking forward to no longer having to obey?
These are the points that you voted on, so they should be easy enough for you to answer.
Regarding the experts, it's blindingly obvious, to me at least, that leaving the EU is bad for the economy, they are our largest and nearest trading partner, the experts just happen to agree with me, so I'm not ducking any personal responsibility at all. I will say though that they know more about the economy than I do. It would take a very arrogant person to say that people and organisations with a lot more training, experience and qualifications than me, know less about a subject than I do. Dont you think? "You put your faith in economic "experts" paid to put an opinion. I put my faith in my knowledge of the world and my perception of this European Union. You believe in other people's opinion. I believe in mine. I was asked to vote and I did so. The difference between you and I is that I did so based upon my opinion and not of that espoused by an "expert." | |||

"Fuel prices where already coming down as OPEC are reducing output But fuel goes up and down all yhe time Same as food prices up and down all the time All the experts in the world can predict and forecast cut the giblets ftom a chicken and read the signs !!!!! In the end its guesswork I grant you its informed guesswork but thats all it is The exit is going to happen nothing will stop that not you not your experts so stop putting arguements forward that you hope will derail the exit All your well informed intelligent well read arguements are just smoke and mirrors Just my opinion
Agreed shame the same amount of effort is,nt put into supporting THEIR county though.
But we are supporting our own count(r)y. You're the ones who've sold your people out to economic uncertainty and sold your country out to possible breakup and disunity. And all for a bunch of meaningless slogans. How's that putting any effort into supporting your own country. Sounds more like sedition, treachery and a good does of perfidy to me.
Just maybe we thought that the EU was a doomed institution up its own ass, unable to account for its income and expenditure and hell-bent on greater control. That really does not sound like sedition or treachery. Quite the opposite.
We could not reform it so decided it was time to leave it.
You might have thought lots of things, I don't know what you thought or really think now. All I do know is that you seen to be hell bent on creating as much disunity as possible between the UK and the EU and between the nations of the UK and the peoples legally living here in the UK (that's sedition). Many of you have said you know we'll be worse of but "don't give a shit" - acting to make your people and country worse of (that's treachery) and you've lied to your people (£350 million a day) to deceive them into believing what your trying to do is best for them (that's perfidy).
So yes, it really does sound like sedition, treachery and perfidy to me.
Erm, you're confusing me with someone else entirely.
I voted Brexit. I did not swallow all the propaganda.
As for creating disunity with people living in this country, why the fook would you ever assume that was my motive?
I have told you why I decided. Ascribe whatever ulterior motives you want. They don't exist.
Like I said, I don't know what you (2nd person singular) actually think or thought but you (2nd person plural) all seem to me to be acting in a way that is seditious, treacherous and perfidious. I can't ascribe any other motives to it because they simply don't add up in any logical, reasonable, sensible or meaningful way.
I am a first person singular.
On the other hand, I have no idea what you were voting for.
I was voting to keep my country united and prosperous within in the largest, most democratically organised, wealthiest and nearest trading community in the world. I was voting to keep jobs from foreign companies here in the UK, I was voting for British people of all skill levels and abilities to have the right to seek out their future and possibly fortunes, to study, live, work and retire any where in Europe, I wad voting to keep my countries say in what happens in Europe and will affect it, I was voting to keep a strong and united voice by the UK and Europe against the ever growing threat from both the East and the Middle East, I was voting for the good of my country, all the nations that make parts of it and all the peoples who live in it. I wasn't voting for a load of meaningless slogans and jingoistic flag waving.
It sounds very much as if you were voting for jongoistic flag-waving crap. I voted for economic sense. There is no way that the silly philosophy behind the EU can survive.
I decided to get out of it before it collapsed. As opposed to continuing to wave some stupid European unity flag.
I wish to trade with Europe. I don't want to trade only with Europe or be a spoke in their wheel.

I'm no economic expert but how does voting to make trade harder with our biggest, wealthiest and closets customers in the unsure hope that we might increase our trade with other mostly smaller, poorer and further away customers equate show any level of responsibility, personal or otherwise. You don't have to an economic expert to know that that clearly is more likely to lead to less trade, not more."Well, with just a little bit of skill, we will still be able to trade with the EU ... and any other country who wants to trade with us. I certainly do not want the EU to dictate who we can and can't reach a deal with, as is currently the case. Madness. | |||

It would take a very arrogant person to say that people and organisations with a lot more training, experience and qualifications than me, know less about a subject than I do. Dont you think?
You put your faith in economic "experts" paid to put an opinion.
I put my faith in my knowledge of the world and my perception of this European Union.
You believe in other people's opinion. I believe in mine.
I was asked to vote and I did so.
The difference between you and I is that I did so based upon my opinion and not of that espoused by an "expert.""NASA are experts on space, they say the earth goes round the sun. Do you agree with them? If you do, does that mean that you would jump off a cliff if they told you to? You guys are quite happy to vote for Economic suicide if Farage tells you to. | |||

"Fuel prices where already coming down as OPEC are reducing output But fuel goes up and down all yhe time Same as food prices up and down all the time All the experts in the world can predict and forecast cut the giblets ftom a chicken and read the signs !!!!! In the end its guesswork I grant you its informed guesswork but thats all it is The exit is going to happen nothing will stop that not you not your experts so stop putting arguements forward that you hope will derail the exit All your well informed intelligent well read arguements are just smoke and mirrors Just my opinion
Agreed shame the same amount of effort is,nt put into supporting THEIR county though.
But we are supporting our own count(r)y. You're the ones who've sold your people out to economic uncertainty and sold your country out to possible breakup and disunity. And all for a bunch of meaningless slogans. How's that putting any effort into supporting your own country. Sounds more like sedition, treachery and a good does of perfidy to me.
Just maybe we thought that the EU was a doomed institution up its own ass, unable to account for its income and expenditure and hell-bent on greater control. That really does not sound like sedition or treachery. Quite the opposite.
We could not reform it so decided it was time to leave it.
You might have thought lots of things, I don't know what you thought or really think now. All I do know is that you seen to be hell bent on creating as much disunity as possible between the UK and the EU and between the nations of the UK and the peoples legally living here in the UK (that's sedition). Many of you have said you know we'll be worse of but "don't give a shit" - acting to make your people and country worse of (that's treachery) and you've lied to your people (£350 million a day) to deceive them into believing what your trying to do is best for them (that's perfidy).
So yes, it really does sound like sedition, treachery and perfidy to me.
Erm, you're confusing me with someone else entirely.
I voted Brexit. I did not swallow all the propaganda.
As for creating disunity with people living in this country, why the fook would you ever assume that was my motive?
I have told you why I decided. Ascribe whatever ulterior motives you want. They don't exist.
Like I said, I don't know what you (2nd person singular) actually think or thought but you (2nd person plural) all seem to me to be acting in a way that is seditious, treacherous and perfidious. I can't ascribe any other motives to it because they simply don't add up in any logical, reasonable, sensible or meaningful way.
I am a first person singular.
On the other hand, I have no idea what you were voting for.
I was voting to keep my country united and prosperous within in the largest, most democratically organised, wealthiest and nearest trading community in the world. I was voting to keep jobs from foreign companies here in the UK, I was voting for British people of all skill levels and abilities to have the right to seek out their future and possibly fortunes, to study, live, work and retire any where in Europe, I wad voting to keep my countries say in what happens in Europe and will affect it, I was voting to keep a strong and united voice by the UK and Europe against the ever growing threat from both the East and the Middle East, I was voting for the good of my country, all the nations that make parts of it and all the peoples who live in it. I wasn't voting for a load of meaningless slogans and jingoistic flag waving.
It sounds very much as if you were voting for jongoistic flag-waving crap. I voted for economic sense. There is no way that the silly philosophy behind the EU can survive.
I decided to get out of it before it collapsed. As opposed to continuing to wave some stupid European unity flag.
I wish to trade with Europe. I don't want to trade only with Europe or be a spoke in their wheel.
You voted because of Economics? Yet you voted against 90% of UK economists, against HM Treasury, against Nobel Prize winning economists, against the World Bank, against the IFS, against the IMF, etc. etc. etc. That makes no sense at all.
Which country does the UK currently NOT trade with, that you are looking forward to trading with in the future?
No, I voted against a corrupt and overruling organisation that took our money, decided how we should spend it and dictated our laws and with whom we could trade.
And I am very tired of appeals to those economic organisations that you perceive to be experts. I chose personal responsibility. You choose "experts." I have expressed where economic experts have gone rather wrong in the past but received no feedback.
I have known a very bright economist who was employed by the Chancellor to provide advice. You know, it did not matter who the Chancellor was, she was asked to give advice supporting the latest political thrust. Paymasters, eh? Your appeals to "recognised" bodies is a bit like saying, "I can't be arsed to work it out myself."
Sorry my mistake, I thought that you voted based on the economic arguements because you said "I voted for economic sense" but what you actually meant when you said "I voted for economic sense" is "I voted against a corrupt and overruling organisation that took our money, decided how we should spend it and dictated our laws and with whom we could trade."
I asked before and you couldn't answer me, maybe I'll try again. Which country is the UK currently NOT trading with that you want to trade with once we leave the EU?
Also which EU law are you most looking forward to no longer having to obey?
These are the points that you voted on, so they should be easy enough for you to answer.
Regarding the experts, it's blindingly obvious, to me at least, that leaving the EU is bad for the economy, they are our largest and nearest trading partner, the experts just happen to agree with me, so I'm not ducking any personal responsibility at all. I will say though that they know more about the economy than I do. It would take a very arrogant person to say that people and organisations with a lot more training, experience and qualifications than me, know less about a subject than I do. Dont you think?

You guys are quite happy to vote for Economic suicide if Farage tells you to."I think that the theory that the earth orbits the sun was well established before NASA came into being. I would not do anything Mr Garage asked of me. Would you jump off a cliff because the IMF or any other so-called expert told you to? It seems to be your argument, not mine. | |||

"So leaked Treasury documents show that a Hard Brexit will cost the UK between £38bn and £66bn per year in lost tax revenues. So what services do you think we should cut? The MOD costs us £45bn a year, so even if we scrapped it entirely, we would still be £21bn short. We could cut Education, close down all of those schools and universities (cos who needs experts right ) that would save us £38bn, so if we take the lower estimate that would cover all of it, simples, however if we take the higher number we are still £28bn short, so I guess we would also have to cut quite heavily elsewhere.
Or Health, those Brexitier tell us that load of our health budget is spent on foreigners anyway, so if we cut 48% of the health budget, we probably wouldn’t even notice, right? Just sack half the nurses, close half the hospitals, close half the GPs surgeries, get rid of half of the ambulances etc.
Or as so many pensioners voted for Brexit, maybe we should take it from the pension budget, and cut that by 42%? Thats what they voted for, right?

Go and give your head a wobble, after this I'm not sure I can take anything you say seriously anymore. " I gave up 3 days ago. | |||

Even over a period of 12 months they arent accurate yet we are meant to believe they can be over 15 years, NO one knows what is going to happen to the world economy,many believe that the banking crisis that may well erupt could spell real trouble and bring the pigeons home to roost, all this kicking the can down the road that has covered up the trouble is just going to make things worse in the long run, how much longer will the german people carry on bailing the euro zone out? IF reality is faced in the next few years we will be thankful we are out of it. The FACTS are that the euro zone has the worse economic growth performance in the world | |||

"So when I agree with experts I'm an idiot, what about when you agree with experts like NASA? Suddenly you're not an idiot? So can someone please tell me what country that we are not trading with, that we will start trading with once we leave the EU? I am simply asking you to take personal responsibility for your decisions as opposed to relying on unreliable economic bodies. You can rely on the IMF if you wish but they do not have a great track record in predictions. Have we been able to negotiate our own trade deal with Australia? With the USA? No, because our membership of the overriding EU precludes us from doing so. Well I'm asking you to do some due diligence and look at some expert opinions. We already trade with Australia and the US. I asked you to name a country that we are not already trading with, that we will start trading with once we leave. Wrong, the EU does not currently have a trade deal with the USA. Yet we still trade with them. So again, I will ask, which country do we not currently trade with, that you are looking forward to trading with once we leave the EU? Using that logic then we don't need a trade deal with the EU to trade with them either do we. " No one, on either side of the argument, has said or is saying that you have to have a trade deal with anyone in order to trade. The argument is surly that having a comprehensive trade agreement with anyone; one that ensures trade is equitable and with a common set of rules with a fair arbitration; increases the amount of trade done between the parties of that agreement. So, the question still remains, who are we going to trade with once we leave the EU who we are not currently trading with now? | |||

"Is it about confining? I'd have thought, since leaving the EU means we have NO trade deals with anyone, a fact either not understood or cared about by the Brexiters, it is more a question of prioritising. So, can you tell me why you wouldn't think getting the right trading relationship with the trade bloc we do 50% of our trade with is not the most important thing? Is it the maths you struggle with?" it is important which is why we will get the right trading relationship. Who would want either side to suffer? | |||

"Once again the £65 billion figure is not a fact it's a forecast/prediction for the year 2030 based on a load of dodgy assumptions from George Osborne's Treasury to use in his remain campaign. As long as you continue to push this lie I will continue to correct you. | |||

"Just been reading an article in Telegraph written by the chief architect of the ECB experiment. He reckons the whole thing is just one huge great sham and by the sounds of it we were so wise to stay out of that pile of worthless paper. It now has over a trillion Euro's in junk bonds where they've bought up bad debt from countries like spain, Greece and portugal that will never ever pay it back. Maybe our own currencies demise is fairly temporary and has got to be endured. If and when his prediction comes true and remember this is the guy that invented the fiscal rules that were supposed to be in place to make it work maybe the pound will start to recover. Until then what cannot be cured must be endured. At least we can stand a devaluation for a time. All these countries can do is issue more junk bonds and hope the suckers in france and Germany buy it up. One day these sovereign nations will decide enough is enough and the Euro will collapse. " The referendum was about membership of the EU, not joining the Euro. If we had been in the Euro then that was a different argument and the vote would have been 90% Leave in all likelihood. It was the fact we had the best of both worlds that made it such a 50/50 vote. | |||

"Fuel prices where already coming down as OPEC are reducing output But fuel goes up and down all yhe time Same as food prices up and down all the time All the experts in the world can predict and forecast cut the giblets ftom a chicken and read the signs !!!!! In the end its guesswork I grant you its informed guesswork but thats all it is The exit is going to happen nothing will stop that not you not your experts so stop putting arguements forward that you hope will derail the exit All your well informed intelligent well read arguements are just smoke and mirrors Just my opinion
Agreed shame the same amount of effort is,nt put into supporting THEIR county though.
But we are supporting our own count(r)y. You're the ones who've sold your people out to economic uncertainty and sold your country out to possible breakup and disunity. And all for a bunch of meaningless slogans. How's that putting any effort into supporting your own country. Sounds more like sedition, treachery and a good does of perfidy to me.
Just maybe we thought that the EU was a doomed institution up its own ass, unable to account for its income and expenditure and hell-bent on greater control. That really does not sound like sedition or treachery. Quite the opposite.
We could not reform it so decided it was time to leave it.
You might have thought lots of things, I don't know what you thought or really think now. All I do know is that you seen to be hell bent on creating as much disunity as possible between the UK and the EU and between the nations of the UK and the peoples legally living here in the UK (that's sedition). Many of you have said you know we'll be worse of but "don't give a shit" - acting to make your people and country worse of (that's treachery) and you've lied to your people (£350 million a day) to deceive them into believing what your trying to do is best for them (that's perfidy).
So yes, it really does sound like sedition, treachery and perfidy to me.
Erm, you're confusing me with someone else entirely.
I voted Brexit. I did not swallow all the propaganda.
As for creating disunity with people living in this country, why the fook would you ever assume that was my motive?
I have told you why I decided. Ascribe whatever ulterior motives you want. They don't exist.
Like I said, I don't know what you (2nd person singular) actually think or thought but you (2nd person plural) all seem to me to be acting in a way that is seditious, treacherous and perfidious. I can't ascribe any other motives to it because they simply don't add up in any logical, reasonable, sensible or meaningful way.
I am a first person singular.
On the other hand, I have no idea what you were voting for.
I was voting to keep my country united and prosperous within in the largest, most democratically organised, wealthiest and nearest trading community in the world. I was voting to keep jobs from foreign companies here in the UK, I was voting for British people of all skill levels and abilities to have the right to seek out their future and possibly fortunes, to study, live, work and retire any where in Europe, I wad voting to keep my countries say in what happens in Europe and will affect it, I was voting to keep a strong and united voice by the UK and Europe against the ever growing threat from both the East and the Middle East, I was voting for the good of my country, all the nations that make parts of it and all the peoples who live in it. I wasn't voting for a load of meaningless slogans and jingoistic flag waving.
It sounds very much as if you were voting for jongoistic flag-waving crap. I voted for economic sense. There is no way that the silly philosophy behind the EU can survive.
I decided to get out of it before it collapsed. As opposed to continuing to wave some stupid European unity flag.
I wish to trade with Europe. I don't want to trade only with Europe or be a spoke in their wheel.
You voted because of Economics? Yet you voted against 90% of UK economists, against HM Treasury, against Nobel Prize winning economists, against the World Bank, against the IFS, against the IMF, etc. etc. etc. That makes no sense at all.
Which country does the UK currently NOT trade with, that you are looking forward to trading with in the future?
No, I voted against a corrupt and overruling organisation that took our money, decided how we should spend it and dictated our laws and with whom we could trade.
And I am very tired of appeals to those economic organisations that you perceive to be experts. I chose personal responsibility. You choose "experts." I have expressed where economic experts have gone rather wrong in the past but received no feedback.
I have known a very bright economist who was employed by the Chancellor to provide advice. You know, it did not matter who the Chancellor was, she was asked to give advice supporting the latest political thrust. Paymasters, eh? Your appeals to "recognised" bodies is a bit like saying, "I can't be arsed to work it out myself."
I'm no economic expert but how does voting to make trade harder with our biggest, wealthiest and closets customers in the unsure hope that we might increase our trade with other mostly smaller, poorer and further away customers equate show any level of responsibility, personal or otherwise. You don't have to an economic expert to know that that clearly is more likely to lead to less trade, not more.
Well, with just a little bit of skill, we will still be able to trade with the EU ... and any other country who wants to trade with us. I certainly do not want the EU to dictate who we can and can't reach a deal with, as is currently the case. Madness. I am satisfied that people will still buy our goods so I am not too concerned. Why would anyone stop buying goods just because we have left the EU. We are now in control and can negotiate our own terms. "Actually and unfortunately we won't be in control. Control in trade negotiations nearly always rests with the larger of the economies involved in the negation. So we won't be in control when we negotiate with the EU, USA, China and Japan, they will. We may have more control when it comes to negotiating with Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the like but we'll also have a major handicap as well; they have years of experience negotiating trade deals, we haven't negotiated any in over 40 years. | |||
