Comments by "Nigel Johnson" (@nigeljohnson9820) on "Brexit Warnings: Bank of England Governor warns of consequences of No-Deal Brexit" video.

Mark Carney is a europhile and is doing all he can to stop brexit. Post the referendum, the bank of England cut interest rates and implemented further quantitative easing, the printing of funny money. It then blamed the effects of these policies on the brexit vote. Carney has been forced to admit that his dire predictions for the fortunes of the UK economy post the referendum were proved to be completely wrong. There is no reason to think his new predictions are any more accurate. He would like the UK population to believe that he is offering expert impartial advice, but he has repeatedly shown significant bias towards the EU.

Zanzibar979 interested double standards, you are patriotic, but I am being a nationalist. Don't worry soon it will be compulsory to show your allegiance to the EU super state and big brother in the form of Junkers unelected replacement. As to the medication, no more so than those in the EU who rely on medication made in the UK.

@stuartpaul9995 it very much depends on your definition of nationalism, what you describe are right wing fascist governments. And as you say they failed, which is why a super state, like that proposed for the EU, built on the same principles will also fail. What I am describing is the nation state that has existed in one form or another for thousands of years. What is about this concept that offends you so much. It is that it is opposed to globalisation? Nation states have been trading for as long as they have existed. The difference is that they decided if it wanted to buy or sell produce and what was for sale. In most cases the trade was based on surplus to need and a requirement to import those raw materials that geography and geology denied it. Returning to maximum self sufficiency is not nationalism, it is common sense. You do not buy that which you can make your self. You only sell your surplus not the means to produce it. The only reason globalism and free trade is being pushed as the best way to organise the world is because some very rich individuals make there money from global trade. It is nonsense to transport products over vast distances if they can be made locally. Concentrating production of particular types of product in small relations of the global reduces the resilience of the system. Again the only reason for doing it is to exploit the wealth differentials that exist across the world. Allowing products to be made in low wage countries with poor environmental protection law and exporting the products to wealthy countries that have lost the ability to manufacture and have become captive consumers. The result of this trade is the poor countries get slightly richer but very much dirtier and the wealthy countries become poorer and spiral into debt. The one common factor is that the super rich few who facilitate the trade get fabulously wealthy. Hence the enormous wealth gap that now exists between the super rich few and the rest of the world's population. That is the system that you wish to support.

@stuartpaul9995 the EU is nationalist and fascist. It is nationalist in as much as it considers the whole of the EU yo be one nation and is going its best to bury the differences between the member states to create a EU monoculture with citizen loyalties only for itself. If the UK is heading for a halt down, it will be one of the EU's making. It is very reasonable that the UK should wish to leave, there is very good reason for doing so. So why should leaving be do traumatic. The only reason is because the EU wants it to be. There is no reason why the UK should not exist as an independent country, if this is now difficult it is because of the damage the EU has done to the UK over the past 50 or so years. You persist in associating the wish to be an independent nation state with nationalism in its most pejorative sense, why. Is it impossible for you to think of the UK as being I dependent of the EU. We do not have a Hitler waiting in the wings to invade Europe, so why does the EU feel so threatened? Your support for globalism is presumably based on some idealistic liberal values that see the world as one United happy place. In practice globalism is a mechanism for a global elite to exploit the wealth differentials that exist In the world to make huge amounts of money for themselves at the expense of the global environment. It is what is powering the growing wealth gap between the super rich few and the rest of the world's population. It is the engine that is destroying the global environment and it is very clever of the super rich to recruit those ideologically opposed to their action to be so supportive of them.
