Just a quick question(s) for all the Brexiters.

1. Did the UK not benefit economically by being in the EU for the last 40+ years?
2. What was the harm for the UK being in the EU?
3. How would the foreign workers situation going to change in the UK if UK needs workers that the Brits won't do?
4. Will France act as a guard in stopping immigrants going to the UK after Brexit, or will they tell the immigrants, "here is your one way ticket to the UK and Bon Voyage"?

That is an impossible question to answer because we do not know how well the UK could have done out of the EU.

Brexiters are wanting a more independent UK where it isn't dictated to by the EU machine. The UK will have stronger control over its fiscal and monetary policy and its borders.

Norway, isn't an EU member and has one of the strongest economies in Europe. It's doing better than most EU members, if not all EU members.

What Norway, Switzerland and couple of other countries with strong economies who are not EU members, all have the 4 freedoms, as well as make financial contributions to the EU. They just don‘t take part in decisions makings in the EU as a member. It is what “soft“ Brexit would looked like if the UK accepted such a proposal. Norway and other few countries that have special relationship with the EU is as close as one can being an EU member, and yes, these few countries benefit economically by having this kind of relationship with the EU. What the Brexiters want is a 100% separation from the EU.

The truth is, the UK had benefitted economically for the last 40+ years as an EU member state. It is a known fact. One cannot prove a negative what the UK would have done economically if they were never part of the EU in any way or shape, so we can only say what it has been and not what it has not been.

The UK thought they could cherrypick what they want with the EU and leave the rest and the EU said to the UK, ”why don‘t you go fuck yourself“, and the UK is saying, ”thanks, we will“, and are doing just that.

Kikapu, those who voted Leave never considered economics as a factor. They hate Europe, the Germans considerably more, they just did not want to be .....ruled by ....non elected beaurocrats, they wanted the right to appoint their very own ....traffic wardens !! They listened to the arsehole who has done very well out of the EU, and of course to the Clown who may just make it to 10 Downing street in order to complete the circus. Did you read about this fucking idiot with the union glag stopping the channel trains to Europe. I tell you what mate, if and when the UK comes out of Europe within 5 years it will declare war on Europe, blaming the Krouts for bringing it down to it's knees.
I know the English more than most and there is nothing more stupid than a small minded little Englander.

I left the UK in 1979, and never looked back, other than visiting family and friends few times a year.

Growing up in London, it was a common joke on certain TV programs and in real life regarding the Germans, by saying, "don't mention the war"!

Well, the Germans have shown Europe what an Economic powerhouse they can be and are, not to mention they own almost all of the British car companies. Maybe that is what the Brits hate the most about the Germans these days, in trying to play catch-up to them, but they can never do. If the UK loses their financial market superiority due to Brexit, the only thing they will have going for themselves will be their "Fish & Chips"!

There are some attributes that the English have and are the best in the world. Having grown up in London and having spent almost my entire life there, I must admitt that I love the country but it ain't what it used to be. I remember the troubles I had getting a UK visa for my wife, now separated, it took 3 applications and the intervention of my solicitor. It appeared to me then that they were not keen on Eastern Eurpeans but more than happy to accommodate Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and other third world citizens. Did they perhaps prefer those that they can look down upon ? The decision to leave the UK will go diwn in history as the biggest blunder of the UK. Here we have the worlds most powerful trading block, Germany is and always will be the powerhouse of the EU, a fact resented by the little Englanders who just do not like the fact that they are not the biggest fish in the pond. They DO NOT like the Germans, the French or indeed any other ....bloody foreigner. They bring the war into it as if we ought to be proud of this event that caus3d so many casualties.
We beat the Germans they say. Oh yes? Did the yanks or Russians have anything to do with victory ?? No sir, it was the battle of Britain and we won !!
