Not for much longer >:-) .......... You do realise you've just advocated either a reduction in UK government spending as a result of that 87% loss, or an increase in UK taxes to make up the 87% shortfall, don't you? Ooooh I missed this load of Remoaner B*llocks :D .............. So the UK will no longer be able to spend 87% of our money that the EU gives back to the UK (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) .......

Fast Pat - 2019-03-03 12:48 PM Violet1956 - 2019-03-03 12:25 PM Can anyone explain to me why UKIP members wanted to become MEPs? There seems no logic to it. If they wanted us out surely the best way would have been to turn up to support EU measures that would have been unfavourable to the UK thereby strengthening their cause. Maybe they just did it for the money. They turned up en masse when their post Brexit entitlements were being discussed in October 2018 but have the lowest record for turning up than any other party. It was a good way to get illegal funding for their party. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-ukip-eu-money-misspending-eu-referendum-campaign-a7422471.html https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jan/12/nigel-farage-eu-salary-docked-claim-misspent-public-funds Another myth about Farage is he is the fishermans friend. "Over the three years that Nigel Farage was a member of the European Parliament Fisheries Committee, he attended one out of 42 meetings. Greenpeace research released today shows that during the three major votes to fix the flaws of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), Nigel Farage was in the building but failed to vote in favour of improving the legislation." Brian Kirby - 2019-03-03 3:50 PM Violet1956 - 2019-03-03 12:25 PM Can anyone explain to me why UKIP members wanted to become MEPs? ………….... Apologies for calling you Violet, Veronica! Mea culpa! :$ I seem to recall that UKIP wanted MEPs as a way to attack the EU from within. By having their own MEPs, they would get first hand information on what was being discussed in Brussels, and could begin undermining it before it became public information.

Perhaps if you moved your pulpit to Boston you'd know what you're talking about ....for a change >:-) .... Possibly, but then you'd have to face up to why so many went to Lincolnshire, wouldn't you? Nothing to do with all those Lincolnshire farmers lobbying government to let in the cheaper, ex eastern bloc, labour because it was cheap, was it? Nothing to do with the EU, was it? Just agribusiness whispering in HMG's ear - because HMG was the gatekeeper. You want cheap food - you get cheap labour to provide it. Wait until Trump's trade deal is "landed"! You ain't seen nothing yet! :-D BTW house prices there are dirt cheap compared to where we lived in Lincolnshire :D ........

I think it just has to say "None EU". As far as I am aware anything imported currently has to meet EU standards. Trump has already stated that we must lower our standards if we want a trade deal. That will just be the start of it. We are either in alignment with the EU or the USA but you cant have both and Trump wants to crush the single market so will do whatever he can with us to assist in that process. Not for me thanks.

Barryd999 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I Cant remember the last time I had a Kebab, certainly it wasnt here as they are rubbish. Probably France in 2017. Our standards might be an A and Austria a B but as long as they meet the EU minimum then thats all that matters. Your putting your faith in Trumpy, you should have a read of this as its not just lower standards we need to worry about. Just reading up on what a US trade deal will look like and how its definitely going to be heavily weighted in Americas favour and I came across this. https://blogs.sussex.ac.uk/uktpo/2019/03/05/the-us-negotiating-objectives-for-the-uk-us-trade-deal-clearly-put-america-first/ Here are some of the highlights. Read the bit on bold On investment, the US objective in negotiation of the UK-US trade deal is to: ‘reduce or eliminate barriers to U.S. investment in all sectors in the UK’’. Similarly, on government procurement, the US wishes to: ‘increase opportunities for U.S. firms to sell U.S. products and services to the UK’, while simultaneously restricting access for the UK (for example, through keeping domestic preferential purchasing programs at state and local government levels). The US document also attempts to regulate the UK’s relationship with third countries! For example, it would constrain the UK’s ability to sign a trade deal with China by creating a mechanism to: ‘take appropriate action if the UK negotiates a free trade agreement with a non-market country’. That sounds to me like the US in any deal will attempt to restrict who we can sign future trade deals with. It seems so bonkers I must have it wrong surely? Wasnt being able to sign new trade deals one of the main reasons for Brexit or are we really going to sign up to be the 51st state of America?
