    From Guardian today
    'Half of voters believe there will be a “Brexit dividend” that could contribute at least something towards an NHS funding boost, the poll suggests.'

    So that's 2% less than fell for the lies two years ago then. Things are going in the right direction. :+1:

    It would be interesting to know where they think the additional civil servants employed solely on Brexit related work are going to be funded from.
  • Heathrow airport has just had the go-ahead for a massive expansion, centred round the building of a third runway. The Government - despite some of its senior members' vehement objections, apparently - has called for, and secured, Parliamentary approval for this significant piece of infrastructure funding. Because, of course, post-Brexit, Britain will be a thrusting, outward-looking trading nation once again. A £16bn shot in the arm for anyone worried that Brexit Britain is going to fall short of its proponents' expectations.

    The day after the vote, Heathrow's biggest shareholder, a Spanish company, announced that it will be joining the Brexodus and moving its non-Spanish operations from the UK to Amsterdam next year.

    No nerd for me to give them a lift to the airport then... See money saved already.

    Give who a lift to the airport? All the British workers who've lost their jobs to be replaced by Dutch workers in Amsterdam. Or maybe all the public sector workers who's jobs will be cut as business rates and income tax revenues decline due to jobs being relocated out of the country.

    You make it sound you were planning to personally deport every Jonny Foreigner from your post-brexit, pure-bred British (note: there's no such thing, we're a nation of mongrels, defined by wave after wave of immigration) utopia.

    Anybody who wants to leave. Do you think spending 14 billion pounds of private finance from investors on a runway when there is nobody on a plane going in and out in your real world would be done..

    Utilising a sad tactic used by others. Where does Chizz say there would be job losses?

  • Just a thought but if we leave on WTO rules is there any other country that also trades solely on WTO?

    Holy See
    Mauritania
    Monaco
    Montenegro
    Palau
    Timor-Leste
    Sao Tome and Principe
    Serbia
    Somalia
    South Sudan
    Sudan
    Western Sahara

    We'll kick some arse in that company!!

    Still, don't forget blue passports.
    Serbia and Montenegro are not WTO members, the link I posted explains it pretty well.
  • Just a thought but if we leave on WTO rules is there any other country that also trades solely on WTO?

    No one is saying we will trade solely under WTO rules though, are they?

    Eventually, no of course not. But if we leave without a trade deal with the EU that also includes the EU trade deals with other non-EU countries, then from day one until we can negotiate independent trade deals there would be little alternative - or am I missing something?

    Any trade deals we do independently will take time, and in some cases considerable time.

    Apparently no-one was saying we would be leaving the Single Market. At least that's what some Brexiteers were saying.
  • F*** me so we will be like Mauritania, who according to that link are the only country on WTO rules (although even they aren't quite).

    The article highliights this claim as well -

    Recently, the pro-brexit group Leave.EU shared an image sharing a claim made by Richard Tice. “WTO rules are what most great countries trade under. If it’s good enough for Australia, America and Canada, it’s good enough for the UK”

    Can anybody clever/young post the actual image ( @Stu_of_Kunming ).
  • Just a thought but if we leave on WTO rules is there any other country that also trades solely on WTO?

    Well it is what will happen if we leave without a deal and some are suggesting that it is good enough.

    I live a 10 minute drive from Heathrow and am out of work. Given that queues at passport control are already up to two hours, where are the job ads for employing extra post-Brexit. They need to be trained. And customs officers. Ditto at Gatwick, Stanstead, Dover, Ashford, Harwich, Fishguard etc. How long will it take to build lorry parks on the M2?
