I voted leave.
The EU is a partial example of the kid's game "Buckeroo" where the poor mule (the EU members) get saddled with an ever increasing burden, until it throws everything off. Some chance of that happening. In the real world it would have collapsed and died.
If we don't leave now then there will soon be an increase in what we have to pay in.
What we should have done, was stop paying anything into the EU until we actually left. Then told them to "send us a bill and we'll go through it." That's what the French would have done. For them the rules "fit where they touch."
It seems that young people tend not to want to leave. But it will be they who suffer the most long term with the cost of this millstone.
At the moment, the reason some young well educated neighbours voted remain is because, "if we left, foreign holidays would cost more." Doh!
As we import more from Europe than we export to them. What's the problem with "No deal?"
As an example. I can manage without Spanish tomatoes for a couple of weeks. Can the producers manage with no sales to the UK? There would be a rapid compromise, if we'd the guts to do it.
Air freight is relativbely cheap these days. Look at the country of origin on some vegetables in supermarkets. Just import more stuff from other countries. |
