"Comedy gold  "not when you end up having to stump up extra taxes because this government gets shafted in the arse by Europe demanding a bigger golden handshake with limited trade options and more financial ties for the next 30 years,are you willing to pay half your wages to the taxman for it to be flitted away on daft schemes and foreign aid that we can't get out of,and don't say it won't happen because if there is a deal someone is going to have to pay and that my friend is you and me | |||

The French pay for the right to do this. So did the uk fishermen up until last year , then decided not to bother. So "Frenchie" got the hump because the uk Fisherman welched on the deal . When they started paying it again " FRENCHIE" was more than happy to share. Another Brexitwummer corrected .  | |||

EU nationals per head of the population actually contribute more to the population in tax, in national insurance, and get less in benefits than the native population.... they are a net positive to the population in terms of the economy..... in terms of health care that EU country pays for their healthcare buy paying the NHS and we actually pay out more in healthcare for brits and ex pats living in the EU, that we spend on EU nationals here (and thats before money is returned) so actually EU nationals cost the NHS nothing, and 1/8 of people working in the EU are EU nationals! (you are more likely to be treated by an EU national than you are to be a patient next to one) also... EU nationals are more likely to be living in private accomodation, because they don't get any support in their new country for the first 6 months, also they are not entitled to certain benefits anyway for the first 3 years........ | |||

"The Irish problem is simple treat them as two separate countries where you need to pass through a border control with a visa or passport having gained permission in advance to gain entry and all European flights to both countries must pay a levy to pass through our airspace or take a big detour through nuetral airspace,but both Ireland and UK planes can pass between the two excempt I’m assuming you’re joking. But let’s say you’re serious. I have to point out that your suggested solution is against the terms of the good Friday agreement. " It's looking likely that the Irish backstop the EU is so keen on keeping in the Withdrawal agreement may be in breach of the good Friday agreement. David Trimble who is the former leader of the Ulster Unionist party and was a key figure in the drawing up and signing of the good Friday agreement in the 90's, and who was also awarded a Nobel peace prize in 1998 for his work on the good Friday agreement has said he may now make a legal challenge against Theresa May and the EU. He's considering this because he says the backstop is not compatible with the terms of the good Friday agreement. David Trimble also happens to be a supporter of Brexit and has supported the ERG group in the Conservative party to introduce the Maximum Facilitation (or Max Fac) solution to the Irish border without the need for a backstop. | |||

FFS.... thats why you are being mocked and taught what actually happens out there in the real world... okay.... going back to 1... you want to block the tunnel...... take a guess at what % of the UK's exports goes thru the tunnel...... 30 per cent of UK exports (worth £43.6bn) to the EU and 22 per cent of imports (worth £47.8bn) from the EU now depend on the tunnel, while 21 million passengers a year use the Eurotunnel’s transport service. Tourists visiting the UK via the tunnel spend £1.7bn in the UK economy. and you want to brick it up..... | |||

Your history is a bit off too: "The name Britain derives from the Roman word Britannia, but there are two conflicting arguments about why the ‘Great’ was stuck on the front of it. The first is that it is used to distinguish Britain from its similar sounding, but much smaller French neighbour, Brittany. The second reason is due to the ego of a certain King James I, who wanted to make it abundantly clear that he wasn’t just the king of the old Roman Britain (which only included England and some of Wales), but of the entire island; thus he referred to himself as King of Great Britain." | |||

"So the fact that the Eurocrats want to squeeze as much money as they can and load the trade agreements in their favour isn't punishment sara" There you go again... "We" voted to leave a union of 28 cooperating nations and we are now doing our utmost to turn 27 friendly neighbours into 27 trading competitors. As it happens - there is not even a trading agreement in place, but when there is, you can be sure - 100% sure - that it will be weighted in favour of the EU, because they are the major partner in the deal and we are the junior partner simply by the scale of economies. That is how it works. If you think it unfair that the EU should have a trade deal weighted in their favour, get used to it. The US/UK trade deal (if it happens) will seem like purgatory by comparison. | |||

"Ffs again it's easy to deride my ideas but apart from one person saying remain no one has actually offered up an alternative solution" An alternative solution to what exactly? You said that Brexit is going to drag on and then announced a list of completely ill thought out, unworkable and hostile solutions that involve blaming other people and which come straight out of the UKIP book of simple politics for simple people. If you want an answer as to why Brexit is dragging on you just have to look at what we in the U.K. have done and what our politicians have done to get us to this point. The EU never wanted us to leave and correctly described Brexit as a Lose-Lose. Notwithstanding, the U.K. voted to leave because the Leave vote captured all Leavers of all dispositions - from soft single market / customs Union believers to the other rabid extreme Leavers who wanted to leave and kick all the doors down as they left. Thereafter MP’s voted to trigger A50 despite the country not having any kind of consensus or plan as to how Brexit should actually look. Theresa May took it on herself alone to interpret what Brexit should mean and then spent two years doing everything possible to exclude Parliament and further divisions in this country. The EU has maintained its consensus and unified position from day 1. Theresa May is not able to unify her Party, Parliament or the country around any kind of Brexit because even amongst Brexiters, there is no consensus about what Brexit should look like and Remainers have hardened their attitudes at least partly because of the embarrassingly shambolic way that Brexit is being pursued. And here we are less than two months from Brexit day and Theresa May still looks for an idea that might somehow allow her to take the country out of the EU without any kind of broad consensus and against ALL credible economic evidence. If you want an answer as to why Brexit is dragging on, it is because U.K. politics has broken our country and the frustration from outside the country (Tusks comments today) is because this is obvious from the outside looking in as we make international fools out of ourselves. | |||

For example, the UK has a cronic shortage of Radiographers at the moment (people don't want to go into that field of study) so the NHS at the moment get a lot of the radiographers they need from spain and italy they are people who have upped sticks and helping us as a nation! there are a lot more examples.... the issue with the NHS is they don't produce the staff the need from the UK alone... or a lot of the highly tecnhical people piss off to the US, or Canada, or Australia or new zealand or the middle east..... and the last time i checked NONE of those were in the EU!!!!! as i said last time, you are more likely to be treated by an EU national than you be in a doctors surgery or hospital bed next to one! | |||

"if u say so ,so u don't think our NHS is failing and the benefits system is doing ok ,and there's plenty of sustainable affordable housing being built and food banks are a myth ,and that immigration is under control ,wake up" 1) NHS relies on tax receipts for funding. Your list of “solutions” contained proposals that would reduce tax receipts innthis country in the short, mid and long term. The issue that upsets youvwill be made worse by your solutions. 2) Benefits and welfare. As above. Needs tax receipts to function properly and an empathetic Government to implement it fairly. 3) Affordable housing. This too relies on Govetnment funding to finance. Where will that come from if you enact policies that will reduce tax receipts. 4) Food banks (and homelessness - that you didn’t mention) are results of austerity policies introduced since 2010. Whether anyone agrees with the concept of austerity or not, the government say it is needed to bridge the gap between spending and receipts because increasing taxes is not a vote winner. 5) How can immigration not be under control when we are not part of Shenghen? The Home Office has had at all times the means to control immigration both from the EU and from no EU countries. The fact that they have chosen to act like the underfunded agency that they are is not the fault of the EU - it is a policy of our Govt to not adequately fund the border force to do its job properly. | |||

There is a big wide world out there to import food from, besides the EU.
A lot of our gas for heating comes from Russia, who are not in the EU.

Example: A flight to ireland costs £100
A flight to the U.S.A costs £500
That imported chicken & Beef we are going
to get from america is subsidised by the supermarkets to keep the prices affordable ?
I think not chap.
So using the same logic (on transport costs) it's going to be more expensive for Nissan to make the X-trail in Japan now because they're going to have to pay more to ship it to Europe from the other side of the world, rather than shipping it over the short distance over the channel from the UK.
Nissan have stated the XTrail is ot part of there long term strategy.
They will be investing heavily in electronic cars for the future.
Probably in the EU somewhere
Where they have an agreement
Between themselves & tbe EU.
Hope that clarifies it for you Pumpkin
But they're making the X trail in Japan now. You said it's more expensive to ship stuff from the other side of the world, because of the increase in transport costs. Just using your own logic Pumpkin.
X-trail sales in Europe are down & expected to fall more.
Why make the Xtrail here when they can invest for what the European market want.
Cleaner Greener Cars.
Makes sense Flower."They're still going to import the X-trail from Japan into Europe though. Using your logic they shouldn't be doing it as its more expensive after transport costs petal. | |||

"These threads get funnier and funnier - I know we all love to hate politicians but honestly, with such deep thinking like the OP’s going around then you can see why referendums are such a shit idea!" Been saying that for years. The only other solution would be to ask ten basic questions based on the subject with which people are being asked to vote on, in this example, the EU. Fact based questions. If you get any one wrong then your vote doesn’t count. This will force people to actually learn some facts about what they’re voting on. It will discourage the bullshit propaganda. People like the OP won’t have their vote counted, thus eliminating people who voted one way or the other based on a load of nonsense. And we wouldn’t have been going through Brexit for the last 2 1/2 years. | |||

"I imagine that if the Spanish had occupied let’s say the Wirral for the past 300 years, the English would be agitating for its return. Donning the knotted hankie, union jack underpants and flicking the vicky-Vs at your neighbour really isn’t the most mature thing to do." It's called democracy but as a supporter of an undemocratic EU run by enelected bureaucrats like Tusk and Juncker you probably don't understand it. The people of Gibraltar have indicated in elections they wish to remain under British rule, rather than Spanish rule. Same applies to the Falklands, they've said through the ballot box they want to remain under British rule rather than Argentine rule. | |||

"I think Rooke and Byng might take exception to that! It was an anglo-dutch force that captured Gibraltar in 1704. The Utrecht treaties quite clearly say that the Crown of Spain cede Gibraltar and Menorca to The Crown of England, and in perpetuity. We gave Menorca back eventually. | |||

"So it's ok for Spain to invade our waters In Gibraltar and to slow down the flow of traffic in and out of Gibraltar at border crossing points ,it's ok for the French to do what the fuck they like if they don't get there own way or don't like what's happening ie after the foot and mouth embargo on the movement of British livestock was lifted they burned lorries carrying British livestock even though the European Union had told them they had given the green light for us to export again ,but hey it's the French they can do what they like and don't get punished ,same with the cockle boats ,British boats had permits to be in French waters but the French didn't like it because they would be left with the smaller left overs so what do they do they burn and ram British boats and what action does Europe take ,none mmm a bit of a pattern emerging,then there's immigration we are told we have to take X amount in but there comes a time when we can't cope with the influx but if we stay in Europe that influx will increase and we have a shortage of affordable housing and the benefits system and NHS are struggling are Europe going to subsidise us si we can cope answer no,but we are paying into Europe for God knows what to do god knows " Please write in sentences. This stream of consciousness twaddle makes my eyes bleed.... | |||

"I imagine that if the Spanish had occupied let’s say the Wirral for the past 300 years, the English would be agitating for its return. Donning the knotted hankie, union jack underpants and flicking the vicky-Vs at your neighbour really isn’t the most mature thing to do. It's called democracy but as a supporter of an undemocratic EU run by enelected bureaucrats like Tusk and Juncker you probably don't understand it. The people of Gibraltar have indicated in elections they wish to remain under British rule, rather than Spanish rule. Same applies to the Falklands, they've said through the ballot box they want to remain under British rule rather than Argentine rule. " Interesting that you care so much about Gib....yet you're ot interested that well over 90% of them voted remain | |||

Gibraltar is not a member of the EU on its own and never has been. My constituency of Cannock voted almost 70% leave. It wasn't a referendum for Cannock on its own either though. Cannock has never been a member of the EU on its own. It was a UK wide referendum for the UK as a whole. It was the UK as a whole who joined the EU. The UK as a whole voted to Leave. | |||
