I would have thought that what you have listed there would be what everybody wants for the whole world, not just the UK. And why do you put public workers above private, there would be no wages for the public workers without the private sector.
That’s where we are completely different, I care about the whole world, you just care about your little club of EU countries.
Just edited your post to improve accuracy
Thanks for that but it wasn’t necessary especially as your Maths is a bit wonky - you added on 40 years too many!
And how exactly does making Britain more insular benefit the whole world ?
This is known as wishful thinking .
We shall see in due course …
That’s rubbish and you know it.
You’re just wrong and you won’t admit it.
Have you forgotten my posts about “Scotty from Marketing”?
Sounds boring so probably didn’t even bother reading it. Did you notice Strathmore’s post calling you an Australian.
So what? I am a dual national, currently travelling on an Australian passport but entitled to a British one (if there was any advantage in having one)
Says the guy who thinks the EU existed 20 years before it actually did.
Your the only person I know who gaslights himself.
You cling on to our UK passport tust in case it all goes legs up and your utopia falls apart, then you can come crawling back to Brexit Britain to beg the Brexiteer tax payer to bail you out.
Go on, admit it.
…
I wouldn’t need to beg anyone to bail me out, I have an Australian pension and superannuation which would see me live extremely comfortably in the UK. Alas I like the space, scenary and climate of Australia.
Though frankly I think the opposite scenario is far more likely judging by the dispair Britons share in these forums.
As I have said before whether Britain stayed or left the EU is a matter of indifference to me, as are your comments - I just like a bit of a chat.
So we have to wait 10 years to see any benefits? That will be 17 years since the referendum. Brexit seems to be like peeling a rotten onion. On the outside it still looks ok, but as they peel away layers the rot becomes apparent. Every week we hear of some new bureaucratic nightmare where we are trying to separate the intricate legal structures we have to unpick before whichever industry can fully function without additional costs. It’s like buying a house at auction and finding that the foundations and walls all need replacing at great cost and making the initial investment a total waste.
Chris Patten was wheeled out on Question Time last night and displayed all the lucidity to be expected from a 79 year-old Europhile. At the start of a diatribe on, you guessed it, Brexit, the Chancellor of Oxford University came up with some dubious claims. He first had this to say about Britain’s GDP per Capita:
“Our GDP per capita now… is lower for heaven’s sake than Lithuania”.
It sounds questionable… because it’s not true.
According to the IMF’s 2023 forecast, Britain’s GDP per Capita (at purchasing power parity) is $56,471, Lithuania’s sat on $49,266. Britain’s nominal GDP was forecast at $46,371; and Lithuania’s was $28,094. A mere 40% lower…
Chris’s confusion didn’t end there, as he then took a leaf out of the Keir Starmer playbook to talk down Britain’s prosperity relative to Poland:
“The poorest 20% in Britain are poorer than the poorest 20% in Poland”.
Guido isn’t quite sure where Chris found this figure, although data from the*Financial Times*, extending to 2021, showed this couldn’t be further from the truth. British households are better off than their Polish counterparts across every percentile.
You would expect a better grasp of facts from the Chancellor of Oxford University
Oh dear, your Maths is still wonky by the looks of it! However, have you considered taking up fiction writing as a career because it would appear you have a certain skill for it - though I’d avoid the onion metaphor if I were you, it’s been a tad overused in literature.
