What is British that overseas markets are clamouring for? This means British owned, controlled and taxed here.

Quote: Juan Cornetto "The red bus was nothing to do with Farage and you will have to wait for the good news until after we have left as we are stuck with the crumbling union until then.'"


Oh, go on, give us just a small clue,
After all we have been promised unlimited prosperity, once we are free from the evil that is the EU.

We have?

Unlimited prosperity?

You got me icon_surprised.gifops:

But anything goes in the new world order.
I should have said that we'd be better off and there is very little evidence of this coming from anywhere.

Even before article 50 is activated, we will see rising inflation, increased borrowing and suppressed wages, not to mention the least well off having the life squeezed out of them.

IF Germany pulls out of the EU, it will effectively cease to exist and in this situation Farage could become known as "the prophet Farage" and then, clearly, the UK would have made totally the right decision.
As I've mentioned previously, for me, it's the trading aspect of the EU plus, any security issues, that are it's strongest attributes.
The free movement needs/needed changing as it is no longer working to plan.

Free movement is only not working to plan in that more Southern Europeans have not moved to Northern Europe. That was always the safety valve against economic downturn in specific regions and always the inherent weakness of the whole EU project.

I think it's more to do with numbers.
Back in the day (when the EU was a mere 7 nations), free movement was a non issue and merely allowed small numbers of people to visit and work in other parts of Europe (apart from the Brits "invading" Spain icon_eek.gif ).
However, with the far more severe disparity in wealth between some of the member nations, there are greater numbers wanting to move, to help improve their life chances.
The principle is great, if it means the opportunity to work and live in a different country, which should have mutual benefits for all parties but, an exodus from any country is clearly not helpful and therefore some different controls need to be put in place.

Free movement is fundamental to the principles of the EU, both economic and political. The logic of it is however that one day everybody will be crammed into Germany and perhaps a couple of major non-Germanic cities, leaving the rest of Europe as backwaters. That process has been underway and it is why the UK long-term must be better off out, as would be just about everywhere everywhere else.

I partly agree with your sentiment about Germany wanting to be the driving force (and most powerful nation) within the EU.
But, to say thay they wish to take on the population of the EU was just funny.
Their aim, with France trying to hang on to Germany's coat tails, was to achieve more power and influence by having monetary dominance and to have the strongest economy, which they have had for some time.
The interesting part comes when, this actually happens.
If you look at Italy, Greece, Porugal and Spain, Italy and Greece have been basket cases for as long as I can remember and they probably thought that inclusion in the Eurozone and taking on the Euro, would protect them and allow them to prosper.
However, their reluctance to sort out their tax regulations and run their countries "properley" has left them "hanging on", just as they always were.

But how is leaving the E.U. going to change this?

The only time a bit of cash is spent "Up North" it's via E.U. grants.

Love the notion of migrants running amok in Germany b.t.w.

The EU destroys small business in favour of big, via regulatory costs. Even in the SE so many local economies have faded in favour of London's big businesses.
The current EU emphasis of the UK makes the SE corner and Eastern seaports more wealthy at the expenses of the N and W (a process which has been clear since EUmembership).
EU subsidies are simply a partial recycling of the UKs own money. Politicians will no longer be able to hide behind the EU being the causes of our ills (a stance which caused them to lose the referendum!) but actually take responsibility for their own country and trying to assist in stimulating regional economies. A start would be to equalise infrastructure spending.
