  4.  @thedrumdoctor you muppet, it’s cultural or nostalgia it’s all about value, at no time has the euro ever been stronger or had more value than the pound. It’s basic maths pal. As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

  5.  @squicker yet the Eu are desperate for the uk to return, why is that then? What’s so good about the deal exactly? Isn’t free trade without any conditions the best possible deal? What vanquished nation are you from anyway? Someone from the country that created the largest and most influential empire in human history and saved Europe twice in a single century is asking.

  13. Not our ally! Making attempts to break up the united kingdons are not the actions of an ally. Sending criminals across the channel in their thousands is the act of an ally. Trying to take complete control of our military is not the act of an ally. Interfering with the transport of goods is not the action of an ally. Branding the people of our country as racists is not the act of an ally. Asking a court to make the production and distribution of a vaccine is not the act of an ally. Assisting energy companies based in your territory to increase prices to an unaffordable level is not the act of an ally. Starmer, the people of the uk made a democratic decision to leave the Eu, you have a duty as an elected representative to uphold that decision regardless of your personal views and any one else’s. to do otherwise would be a violation of your oath and a breach of contract.

  14.  @steveminers5764  neither are you if you are against democracy, can you name a financially successful communist country? Which is better for a business? Trading with a handful of nations, many of which have small populations, under strict guidelines that favour your competitors in other countries, Or Trading with every country worldwide with limited tariffs and few if any restrictions and no bias?

  15.  @jeremymanson1781  can you provide your source for the trade benefits? The science and innovation payments from the Eu haven’t stopped and were never a benefit of membership, those payments are available to all countries. The veto you speak of had no effect and was worthless. As for the Eu market being the standard worldwide, sorry but no it’s not. The best deals are the true free trade deals that many nations employ, these deals have few or no conditions unlike deals with the Eu, all of which have multiple strict conditions attached. At the moment, Northern Ireland is still part of the common market, it’s not going well for them is it.

  16.  @jeremymanson1781  and if they haven’t? Will you accept it? Or will you deny it like you have the first referendum and keep saying it was a mistake and there should be a third referendum then a fourth and as many as is needed until you get the result you want? There are no benefits for the uk in Eu membership. I don’t want unelected foreign leaders dictating what I can or cannot do in my day to day life, demanding open borders, paying french, German and other farmers and fishermen subsides and banning the uk government from doing the same for British farmers and fishermen, leaders that allow french, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, German, Swedish and Norwegian fishing vessels to catch as much fish as like and then limit the number British vessels can catch in British Territorial waters. I also have zero interest in letting unelected foreign leaders have complete control over the British armed forces. That’s for a start there’s more but I’m busy.

  17.  @steveminers5764  so which choice would be better for business then? You didn’t say!
