    The 'capitalist' side is businesses moving their sites to locations with cheaper labour/grants/tax breaks. Happens all the time. The EU isn't conspiring vs the UK ffs <laugh>

    Do you think only businesses located in the UK move to different countries with the help of EU grants? Do you think the EU randomly contact businesses, or do you think the businesses contact the EU?

    The grants are there because the whole aim of the EU is to standardise the cost of living over the continent, which would gradually remove the need for people to travel. This is by dragging the poorer countries up, rather than knocking the quality of life of richer countries. Check our GDP since joining.

    So you're going to blame Covid for the economy tanking due to Brexit and BoJo's crew of incompetent twats?

    As I said earlier, check the state of the UK economy before and after we joined the EU. Check what happened when you lot decided to vote out. Being in the EU makes us richer and reduces the cost of living.

    Fair enough. But the majority of NI dont want that. Even the Republic don't want that because they couldn't afford it.

    Just because something happens all the time doesnt mean it's capitalism.
    Cost of living? Where does that come into it? Do you think people move to the UK from eastern Europe because of the cost of living?
    So you think that paying grants which encourage businesses to move from the UK to eastern Europe doesn't affect the quality of life in the UK?

    If there's an effect of Brexit I will of course give Brexit the credit for the improvements caused by Brexit.

    That's not capitalism.

    Capitalism - an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.

    And would they not make more profit from moving to cheaper locations + grant money?

    These Nigels actually think without them we would all be fùcked. The cùnts have regressed to Dickensian times.

    So you'll blindly support Brexit at any cost?

    Yes. None of that makes it capitalism if it's due to state, or suprastate, intervention.

    No, I support Brexit because, in my view, it is better for the country.
