    Maybe, they hardly talk about it at all on the regular news but the financial news has been talking about it all morning.

    They're wrong, even if we did leave we'd sign up to a free trade agreement and they wouldn't have to change anything.

    What do you mean 'someone in England'?

    Do you mean a big multinational company that originated in England or a big multinational company that operates in England - what's the difference?

    'We' do not build turbines, companies do, and where they're from doesn't really matter as long as it improves our economy and employs people in England.

    Unless you'd have the Government nationalise everything and have them build it? In which case, set a deadline for completion in 2100.

    So if we did come out of the EU would every euro company f'ck off? I'd say no because we'd build the product ourselves! That's what I'm getting at!

    You couldnt build every product yourselves. You are not large enough to do so. I imagine you have taken economics classes and it would take to long to explain if you haven't but the idea that you could build every product you need in a capitalist society is simply not possible.

    Not entirely true.

    Depending on tax and tariffs etc. we could either make the UK a more/less attractive place for companies to base themselves.

    I really dont know what you're getting at... are you saying that cos we're in the EU Siemens are allowed to build here at the detriment of loads of other UK turbine manufacturers and if we leave then they'll all come out of the woodwork? Siemens are building a factory to make turbines in Hull BECAUSE NO UK COMPANY WANTS TO DO IT.

    Too! ( I took English ) no my point is people are using these companies from Europe as a scare tactic! If we needed turbines & the Germans wouldn't deal with us then we'd build our own! :emoticon-0148-yes:

    We managed to build most of the world's ships at one time.

    Now we don't make much but just wait until our army of media studies graduates is unleashed on the world.

    If you want to only talk about one product out of the tens of thousands that you use then yes. You could build your own. If you are using this example and applying it to every product that you use, that you can simply build them all, then no you can not. At least not in the economic system that currently exists.
