Brexit party,lets give the people what they voted for,let germany carry on bailing out europe,give it 5 or 10 years and the germans will bail out as well,france will swallow up all the spare change and have a bigger voice,italy is close to bankrupt,the whole things a mess and not one of em can agree to sort the problems out

Weve had a close shave,could have cost us billions more had we stayed in,were getting out just in time

I’m not a big meat eater but I would much prefer to eat a piece of ham knowing that the animal has been slaughtered in the UK instead of another EU country.

Why? It makes no difference really, what does is the difference in standards with the eu, and the rest of the world. We are pretty close to the eu standards wise

Why restrict yourself to EU countries?

Are there any countries slaughter methods that you approve of?  Apart from good old Blighty that is.

 

This attitude is understandable.  Its called parochial (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/parochial) . Very common amongst Brexiters.

You’re tying yourself in knots trying to discuss a specific point when the reality is that government can aid specific companies.

 

It can give incentives for specific companies to move here (e.g. Nissan), it can treat companies leniently when contracts fail (e.g. write-off of exit fees for rail franchises). 

I have never stated they couldn't. Yes the government can aid specific companies but what it cant do is give £millions to one company alone as that is in breach of EU competition rules. Only in exceptional circumstances can it pump millions into a specific company, for instance they had to get permission from the EU to bail out Northern Rock. They can also write off exit fees which is not giving state aid. Here is a point in question: we have several bus companies in Sheffield, can the government give state aid to just one?

 

BTW The only incentive Nissan got was to buy the land its plant is on. It was sold at agricultural prices as a way of getting round EU state aid rules, and as far as I am aware the have never received any substantial payments.

Germany is near recession with zero growth?

 

While the UK is the top investment destination in the world for the first time - overtaking the United States. Foreign investors don't seem at all put off by Brexit, despite 'Project Fear 2' warning of the sky falling in...

Banking on a BoJo (or similar right wing) led government that will slash workers rights (kiss goodbye to the minimum wage) / H&S standards / quality control etc etc once we leave the EU.

Foreign investors per Car Boot's post which I replied to. Easiest way to make profits is to cut the workforce costs - the right of the Tory party will be quite happy to let them do that.
