    Ireland is a net contributor to the EU, Ireland and the EU can and want to afford us. Most people in NI voted remain.

    Have you not been watching the ****ing news?

    I disagree!

    Money being siphoned off workers and given to the state and onto rich companies is exactly what capitalism is.

    Agreed but the EUROPEAN UNION super state are giving grants to private businesses to relocate to other countries.

    If the state funds and assists private companies to relocate abroad this is no longer capitalism.

    Yes, I have been watching the news.
    You seem to be confusing leaving the UK with leaving the EU.

    I don't really understand what you mean, are you meaning NI leaving the UK and going it alone?

    If UK residents of Wales Northern Ireland or Scotland believe they were wrongfully removed from the EUROPEAN UNION by Westminster then perhaps they should all be given a referendum to leave .
    With amnesty to any would be refugees that would rather live in England.

    How Wales Northern Ireland or Scotland would be able to be self sufficient out of the UK or the EUROPEAN UNION is anybodies guess and not our concern .

    No centralised funding from England should be used to fund these referendums either .

    Start writing to your local MP and make it happen we are still just about a free country . <ok>

    I'll try a little refresher:

    I pointed out that the majority of NI want to remain part of the UK

    You said: "Ireland is a net contributor to the EU, Ireland and the EU can and want to afford us. Most people in NI voted remain.

    Have you not been watching the ****ing news?"

    Either "remain" means "remain part of the UK" - which would be agreeing with me
    but I assume it means "remain part of the EU"

    Do you see how I think you are confused? I talk about remaining part of the UK but you counter that by talking about remaining part of the EU. There was a vote on remaining part of the EU and the vote was to leave the EU. It would be ridiculous to have parts of the UK in the EU and other parts outside the EU.

    I hope that clears up any confusion you had.

    The UK should also set out the terms of the split in advance of the vote. I think the last opinion poll in Wales said that 3% wanted to leave the UK. There's already been a referendum to leave the UK in Scotland so that's settled. If NI want to leave the UK it's up to them. Then they can decide if they want to become part of the Republic of Ireland if the Republic will accept them.

    By the way, because some people said that voting to stay in the UK is the only way to stay in the EU, the SNP said that was misinformation. I'm sure the voters were able to make their own judgement on that issue. They did stay in the EU until 31/01/20. If the referendum decided that Scotland would leave the UK then they would have been out of the EU as soon as they were out of the UK.

    They're not targeting businesses in the UK. Should businesses not be allowed to choose where they manufacture their products for the lowest price? This happens to businesses all over the EU. Why are you so upset about it? The result is fewer foreign people moving to the UK to find work. Isn't that what you wanted?

    I can see why you're upset but you may as well be angry with clouds. It's just the way things go. These businesses do not belong to the UK, which is where my point about capitalism comes from, businesses will always choose to maximise profits.

    How much do you know about relocation grants?

    Your post is not making any sense.

    "Should businesses not be allowed to choose where they manufacture their products for the lowest price?"
    I'm not blaming the businesses. I am saying that I don't want to be part of the EU and one of the reasons is that the EU offers a lot of grants to businesses to relocate from the UK to other countries.

    "Why are you so upset about it? The result is fewer foreign people moving to the UK to find work. Isn't that what you wanted?"
    I'm not upset. I am pointing out it's detrimental to the UK. I've already explained I am not against people moving to the UK. I simply think that the UK should decide who they allow into the UK. You still say the same lies even when I point out my position.

    "I can see why you're upset but you may as well be angry with clouds. "
    I'm not upset or angry. Why do you keep saying things that are not true?

    "you may as well be angry with clouds"
    This is a ridiculous statement to make.

    "These businesses do not belong to the UK, which is where my point about capitalism comes from, businesses will always choose to maximise profits."
    I have not said that businesses choose to maximise profits. I have said that giving grants to businesses to move their operations out of the UK is detrimental to the UK and is a good reason for the UK to leave the EU. The EU would still be to give grants but they wouldn't be able to use UK money. They would have to get it from Germany, France or a few others. If the UK wants to attract businesses from the EU or anywhere else then they can offer grants.

    "How much do you know about relocation grants?"
    I dont have time to tell you all I know about relocation grants. If you have the time by all means tell me what you know about them.
