  1. Tory government posted a budget surplus of £2billion in July the deficit is now £6billion below OBR forecast. Way to go yea, all we need now is a Labour government and we could have 3yrs of profligacy and another decade of austerity, continued EU membership and then look forward to bankruptcy.

  2. Due to mismanagement and pursuing the wrong objectives. Brexit is the route out of our current suicidal thinking.

  3. We will no longer have to fund failing EU states unable to operate with the Euro to the benefit of Germany, we will save on all the costs associated with EU membership such as MEP salaries and that of their hangers on plus their expenses. We will save on time and expense of running legal and policy decisions through the EU and be able to trade with the world to however we desire. Exactly how much or little we benefit economically will be determined by the government we elect and predicting the future is a mugs game, so here goes I predict the economies of Greece, Italy and Spain will not thrive as long as they have the Euro and the EU is heading for trouble. At the end of the day what makes you happiest is what counts and for me that would be living in a sovereign UK with a democratically accountable government.

  4. It's not just out of spite it's a matter of self preservation, and we would not be cutting our selves off from trade with Europe it will be a different relationship that's all, one that depends on the deal they want to do with us. They're talking tough at the moment naturally, but the German business leaders are already getting nervous. It may be that we have to leave without a deal before they want to get real, also our trade with the rest of the world is growing faster than with Europe and I expect it to grow faster still after we leave. Talk of self destruction of the economy is hyperbole we have faced tougher times in the past and are better placed to prosper than we were then.

  5. The issue is so much more than transient economic problems I do not want the UK to be run from Brussels for the benefit of Germany, don't forget virtually every prediction made so far about the UK and EU has been proved wrong from ''we wouldn't be able to survive without the Euro'' to there is no intention to create a Euro army.
