You mean BoJo When we have rebuilt Hadrian's Wall Is that wise? ;-) ............ Seeing as you'll prolly have to resort back to sheep stealing to support your basket case economy, once you've bitten off the hand that feeds you >:-) ......... (lol) (lol) (lol) .............. I have news for you. Thanks to Brexit and the absolute disastrous handling of the pandemic here the UK is already the worst hit economy in the entire group of 37 OECD countries. Pretty much the entire developed world, not just Europe. So when you talk about basket case economies, it seems we are already "world beating" on that one. I would be sad to see Scotland go but it should be their choice and maybe deserting a sinking ship would now not be such a bad idea. Seeing us we were booming before the Pandemic, it follows that it our economy will show the biggest hit when compared to those economies that were stagnating ;-) ......... I'm confident that once the Pandemic is over the Good ship Brexit Blighty will sail off into our Sunlit uplands B-) ......... Leaving the EU in our wake AGAIN >:-) ......... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9205669/Liz-Truss-announce-UK-applying-join-9trn-pan-Pacific-free-trade-area.html Bye bye stagnant EU........Hello World :-D ......... Utter bollox as usual. We were certainly not top of the economic tree before all this started but we are at the bottom now for sure. The fact that you think Liz Truss (lol) and again (lol) will somehow get us out of this mess by joining another trading bloc with countries on the other side of the planet is laughable. Why would you want to sign up for that anyway? Didnt we just leave the worlds biggest trading bloc because you wanted your country back and not have to follow rules and regulations and get shot of funny foreigners. Have you seen the agreements for the Pan Pacific trade bloc? It would be welcome of course but I do see one slight problem and ill give you a clue. Its in the name of the trading bloc. Which ocean are we in? All countries have rules and regulations for trade. Viet Nam is not in the Pacific,just to mention one and their economy is booming. We will do well by being part of it. And it won't have to be a political union. They said on the news just now that Germany alone buys more of our goods that all 11 countries in that bloc combined and we already have deals with seven of them. What makes you think it wont be a political union? Its only two years old. Granted they are not all geographically linked but like any trading bloc and single market there will be rules and regulations and a governing body. Political union in the EU already does’nt work, Federalism will only get worse. I’m not against being part of an EU trading block but just not the way Brussels runs( or doesn’t) it. Its quite possible that sometime in the future we might rejoin a different EU trading block. When water becomes even more scarce in North Africa and southern europe eyes will be turning inevitably further North.Water is the next gold. Many would argue that it does work or was working. After all nearly half the UK electorate that voted in the referendum voted to stay and confidence is high in the EU 27 countries. Of course if it does not work those countries have the opportunity to change it. My point is that any large trading bloc is eventually going to evolve and go the same way. The Brexiteers hate all that so why are they excited about joining a new trading bloc or any trading bloc for that matter? Most countries in the first world are in some kind of trading bloc now. Its how the world works. Unless of course you dont need to be but we do as we need to export goods and services and we absolutely need to import stuff. We just made all that a hell of a lot more difficult as we are now seeing. Approx 30% of europeans don’t have confidence with Brussels and is probably increasing as we write. Trading blocks ...fine...no problem with them. I’m sure we will join others. That kind of backs up my statement then. Confidence is high presumably 70% do or to some level at least. The point is, the EU started off a trading bloc. It was called the common market when we joined. Ironically I believe Australia rejected the UK's request to join their trading bloc as we asked for free movement of people! (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
