    If leaving the EU wasn't so bad for the majority of everyone in this country we'd have been out now. Why do you think it's not happened after 3 + years?

    Why won’t you?

    I guess no British people live in USA, Canada, Africa, etc...

    Stop with the nonsense scare tactics.

    Can you explain what you mean by that? How many times has the UK voted against EU legislation in the last 20 years?

    Deep sea fishing is the most dangerous job in the UK, roughly 5 times more dangerous than the worst on land (Waste operative).

    Fishing employs less people than Poundland, and pays roughly the same wages. It brings less to the economy than Harrods.

    Farming is heavily reliant on both the CAP and selling produce to the EU. The Economists for Brexit predict that all but one sector of farming in the UK will fail within the first five years.

    The UK Gov or UK MEPs? Big difference between the Tory govt and Brexit party MEPs when it comes to voting...

    This thread is the best remain argument I've ever read. It's also the perfect confirmation of why we should never, ever, have another referendum.

    Simply because it is superior knowledge...it's a fact... Patrick Stewart and Gary Lineker have told us so.

    We certainly won’t have the automatic right to go and live there. Even if you do, you’ll no longer get access to the same benefits.

    Brexit isn’t the end of the world for most people. It just makes life a little bit more difficult, with no tangible upside.

    [QUOTE="Scoff, post: 2367345, member: 54181".

    Fishing employs less people than Poundland,/QUOTE]

    I think you'll find that may be incorrect, certainly as far as the overall industry is concerned.

    Agreed....that is a more reasonable assessment although " tangible upside " is a wider debate....tbf my comment was in relation to the comment that we won't be allowed to go and live there.

    Equal partner with 27 others is not necessarily useful in solving a local problem though.

    Poundland employs 18,000 not including the supply chain
    Fishing employs 12,000 not including the supply chain.

    So when you have the British government having to issue the same common sense diktats that will be ok then and worth the hamstringing of our economy?
    Why do you think the EU introduce legislation on things like fishing, agriculture, health and safety etc? For a laugh?

    Do you eat? Take vital medicine? Do you wish to continue doing so? Because Brexit puts that in jeopardy. And don’t come back at me with ‘project fear’ because it’s a fact that the EU provides 30% of the food that we consume. We also import 37 million packs of medicine every month. Whether you want to believe it or not, leaving without a deal means that there are no agreements to continue those goods coming into the country. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t trust any of the people in charge to get an agreement sorted.

    That looks like a careful, analytic post. As for the 'salty tears' remark I did think that was very poetic. You could have said anything there but salty tears was a good un
