Yes on the face of it, as ever the devils in the detail and 50p says there will be some caveat most of us won't like though

Hook line and sinker! I normally get accused by Brexiters of posting negative news whatever I post so I'd thought I'd label this one negative news.

Re: Brexit
Well according to some, the Dutch are 'fascists and Nazis remnants' so all the more reason for the UK to get out I'd have thought.

Seriously, there seems to be a massive problem in the offing for the EU if this thing escalates and Turkey decides to renege on the migration deal and forge closer links with Putin.

Re: Brexit
More reasons on why leaving the EU without a deal won't work
Quote:
Leaked Treasury report warns of painful 'economic shock' if Britain crashes out of the EU without a deal
Its language is stronger than that used in the Treasury’s published, and publicly available, analysis of the long-term impact of Brexit...
The report describes the WTO’s coverage of services, which account for almost 80% of the UK economy, as “out of date, based on a set of commitments that are 20 years old. It lacks the ambition the UK’s modern economy needs.“ It argues that, without a trade deal, the EU would have no scope to lower tariff rates for the UK without cutting them for all members of the 164-nation WTO.
“After we left the EU, we’d need to renegotiate the terms of our WTO membership,” the document, drawn up a month before the referendum was held, says. “This would trigger bureaucratic negotiations with other WTO members, lasting for months or years …This could be a very complex exercise involving a review of every tariff line – over 5,000 – to determine what rate the UK wished to apply.”
Although Britain could lower tariffs on EU imports to soften the blow of rising prices, it would have to reduce them by the same amount on all imports from WTO members. “This would put the UK in a weak position if we wanted to negotiate trade deals to secure more market access for UK exporters – other countries might avoid coming to the table if we’d already opened up access to our market.”

You seem to accidentally overlook some interesting developments 1andy1. Here's one, for example, from Lord Mervyn King, former Governor of the Bank of England (the one before the current Governor who predicts interest rates by sticking in his thumb and pulling out a plum):
Quote:
Lord King said about the Brexit negotiations:
‘We don’t need to negotiate very much, actually,’ he said in an interview with Bloomberg. ‘It’s they who need to negotiate with us.’

Not sure anything involved with the Mail bouquet of newspapers you can trust Andrew as l was not a supporter of Brexit but we are where we are and sadly there ain't any way back so we as a country have to accept whether its good or bad whatever comes our way in the coming years..

Or consults his former masters, Bilderberg attendees, EU supporters, Goldman Sachs? Why wasn't that guy fired after the referendum?

Never mind let's carry on regardless eh? The harder Brexit the better. The Tories always did love sadomasochism, it's likely to effect the plebs the most anyway.

Re: Brexit
Thing is you seem to be confusing the entire World with the EU, ok so the EU goes west... fine, what about the other 100+ Countries, do you think we won't negotiate something with anyone else?
So there's a few less Audis/BMW's etc on the road... it's not like we'll all be riding pushbikes - and won't it impact those Countries who would have sold us said items more?
Quite apart from anything else, we've had doom laden 'experts' tell us we'd be farked since pretty much day +1 after the vote and they've been made to look pretty stupid now already.
I'm reasonably sure anything we get currently from the EU there will be other places queuing up to sell us their stuff.
to quote a Mr D. Vader 'I find your lack of faith... disturbing'
Our country will really go under if we all convince ourselves we're all as useless as we're made out to be, some of us remember a time pre EU & we seemed to roll just fine.

adding on
Quote:
The document claims that consumers would no longer benefit from the end to mobile phone roaming charges, EU compensation for delayed flights or cancelled holidays, or protections covering purchases in an EU country.

Seriously.. Seriously? Yes. Stop. We're going to lose roaming phone charges, lets abort! ffs.
All of the above will affect the EU (or those touristy type places in the eu) far more than us. You just don't go there, and go somewhere else (who do you think suffers more) I'll say it again, and keep saying it. The World is BIGGER than the eu. There is no shortage of nice places to goad see outside of the eu. Any kind of 'punitive crap they pull will in the end, affect them far more than us.
