    But yes the idea that Trumpers was going to come riding across the Atlantic with a Tariff that will give the UK everything it wants with absolutely no drawbacks whatsoever has been the Brexiteers wet dream since the start.

    Reason why the economy cratered was because the foundation of growth itself was flawed on hot air and not because of a lack of stimulus. So when you don't support the policy that previously achieved that growth the only natural result will be reduction in economic output.

    Also from the EU perspective Greece wasn't really a reliable partner in trying to fix their own issues now where they, given that Greece got bailed out with tax payer money from other countries not sure what you expected from the individual EU members. Not a single government would be able to sell to it's people that Greece who got in economical downfall because of spending should be allowed to spend money that in reality they don't have.

    Yeah, I notice a trend among kids to scream for war everytime something gets complicated. I blame the fact that they are so disconnected from Vietnam or WW2 that they don't actually realise how shit war is. I blame education. Or lack of it.

    What you are calling for here is what is called "austerity", what happened in Greece wasn't.
    But it makes such a nice scapegoat, doesn't it...

    Austerity means choosing where to make cuts instead of cutting everything.
    Politicans do not like it because it means taking responsibility for things people won't like.
    They like to pretend everthing good is their doing and everything bad was beyond their control.

    Not long now until the UK celebrates its emancipation from the EU, watch how high the FTSE soars then. Tick tock.

    Your own graph--which admittely does not have a source--disagrees with you.
    It clearly shows how much less the wealth of the people in the UK is worth.
    How much less they can buy for a British Pounds.

    So in short: You haven't provided any facts--because there is no source--and your argument is self-defeating.

    What do you mean no source?

    How do you work that out? £100 invested around the date of the referendum would now be worth £130, more if you take into account dividend income received in addition over the time period. Is that some kind of crazy EU economics that you are relying on? Demonstrate your workings if you can... I wont hold my breath.

    The source is what it is, the FTSE. You can't spin the numbers of the FTSE they are a matter of public record. How can you say there is no source?

    So, you're saying that you'd need £130 today to do the same investment you could do with£100 pre-brexit vote? Considering that the Pound Sterling floundered by some 30% or whatever it was.

    No I am not saying that. The devaluation in the pound has not translated into higher prices in the shops for the consumer. UK inflation is lower than many EU countries and over the whole 2 year ish time period from the date of the referendum comes in at 4.1%. Far lower than the massive gains everyone has benefited from in the rise of the FTSE. Brexit = wealth for the many not the few.

    Let's talk about how the EU holds back the UK economy by preventing it from doing trade deals with over 90% of the worlds economy.

    Let's talk about how leaving one of the worlds strongest trading blocs will completely shaft us in any trade agreement with any other major trading power.

    Thank you for proving my point.

    When you say "Brexit--for the many, not the few" "few" refers to people who work in the UK, right, and "many" to everyone with their money outside of it?

    How is Brexit responsible for this?

    Because you seem to like charts, here's the Dax:



    Apparently, paying millions per year for Refugees while dealing with Greece is good! We should start more wars! You failed to show the connection. This isn't more a fact than saying "the sun is blue" #thanksbrexit

    Here's another pic, comparing you to us peasants in Germany. You see how the graph is diverging from 2016 on? And Brexit hasn't even happened, yet. That's just because people think it may happen.



    Not very impressed with your facts so far. Go ahead. Find some more. Be a good boy!

    How does money earned, kept and spent in timbuktu have any correlation to the UK economy? It doesn't unless of course a devaluation of the pound makes timbuktu more likely, which it is, to become consumers of UK product.

    £100 at the time of the referendum in real terms today would need to be £104 to be of equal value due to inflation. The FTSE has risen by almost 30% over the same time period with on top dividend income in addition of almost 10%.

    Brexit = Increasing wealth for the UK many, not the few. Better?

    You have proved no point at all, my facts show the exact opposite in what you are saying. Just hoping you can see the light eurochums and the reality of the benefits of being outside the EU. You will get it one day, all but inevitable.

    The EU isn't preventing you from making deals in areas the EU hasn't touched, yet.

    Poor Dribs. Still not having a clue what he's talking about. Also, your entire argument is based on the assumption that the rest of the world actually wants to deal with the UK. It's like you think once you're out, money will just pour in, all by itself! It's magic! The tragic bit is that your politicians show just about as much understanding about how trade works as you do. It's incomprehensible how incompetence is so widely spread over there.

    Oh, wait... I forgot, you don't even care. You plan to replace the Government with your own nationalist fetish party anyway.

    You are being very country specific with Germany and its economic rape of Greece by your country is very well documented. Are you sure you want to go there?

    Very kind of you to demonstrate who is benefiting from the EU and how almost every other nation inside is being ruined by it. Carry on please I implore you, the EU will be the weaker for your endeavors. Thanks again Slanty, I knew you were with me...

    The crazy thing is how the EU held all the leverage at the start but now is losing momentum because they are letting the negotiations drag on due to petty reasons.
