British goods are noted for their quality. They have very high standards in manufacturing and also in farming and produce. There will always be a demand for British goods and don't forget, they are the 5th largest economy so no, the world will not cave in. In fact, it may even improve as they can forge deals with the US, Australia, Canada, NZ, Australia, China, India and Japan.


Can you name me a few British goods other than foodstuff you have in your possession?
I looked around in my house and found none....
EU tariffs for foodstuff are high, especially for dairy products may reach 35%.
As for your argument that the UK is the 5th largest economy, so what? India is 6th, Italy is 8th, Brazil is 9th. 2 of them full of poverty and Italy at the verge of collapsing.


Large GDP's may give bragging rights, but for me a large GDP per capita is what counts.

irony of course of all this was that people were very upset with the financiers and voted brexit to punish them as they were making a killing in the eu and the poor sods could not get a look in.

oh yeah and pigs will fly too.

i still maintain that we will be unable to trade using wto and the absence of any agreement with implementation trade will the eu will stop overnight as well as any other country.

how do we trade without wto facility or some trade agreement.

watch this. very revealing. no really it is.

Well if this is true and I have no doubt it isn't, it just goes to show that Britain needs to leave.

The EU has no right regulating the British Financial Industry. We are talking about probably the best or at least the second best in the world here and the last thing we would want is the EU stepping in to fuck things up like they did in Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Spain.

EU can look at its own back yard and leave London alone.


You probably don't understand the risks of this uncontrollable beast which has already done enough damage to other sectors of UK's economy. Simply the UK Govn't found an easy source of taxation money at the expense of the rest of it's economy. I am not an expert to explain you why the EU thought it was very risky for ALL to keep it uncontrollable, you should probably do some reading yourself and draw your own conclusions.

I am sure Robin Hood could explain it, but it seems he is on vacation somewhere in Russia :lol: :lol: :lol:

Is it no wonder that the peasants yearn to return back to the ....good old days ?
In fact my reputable source tells me that cricket was one of the reasons the peasants want out of the EU. Why ? Well cricket was put forward first to the Germans who declined adding who wants this stupid nonsense in Germany, then to the French who also declined adding we would rather watch ...frogs fucking !!
The Italians simply said Faculo.!! The Cypriots on the hand just told them Assiktir koumbare !!
Seriously though if a referendum was to be held asking " Do you want to return our currency to pounds shillings and pence" the little Englander peasants would overwhelmingly vote YES YES YES.
