    Hope you’ve got enough whetstones to keep the blade sharp as you chop off 30% of the country’s heads.

    I don’t like the fact we’re out of the EU, but you’re not going to convince that portion of the public that we’re better in the EU until the public LIVE through being outside the EU and watching them outpace us.

      Umm, they already are? Noticed how shit our veg is after brexit? Or how about selling anything outside the UK any more? Or how crap basically all service is as we can’t get the staff?

        Iceland and Norway aren’t joining, because they want to control their waters and fishing permits. They still implement all EU regulations not touching those. Switzerland has a weird fetish about being neutral, which currently is just a code word for being the EU’s tax evasion haven. Through agreements with the EU, they too adhere to most EU regulations. And the EU is absolutely attractive to its bigger economies, they get to pull from cheaper labor pools.

        As it is, the EU is only attractive for impoverished peripheral countries.

        We can wait until UK is one.

          I keep hearing this but have problems believing it. Wouldn’t everyone just be so happy it happened that they would be willing to just go back to the way it was?

          I’d be willing to introduce national backsides to Euro notes so they can put their King’s mug on it.
