The EU debate - Part III

Would you rather receive 1% of £10 billion pounds or 50% of £100?

 

If you say so, until then get over it

 

UK Bounce continues...

It's you lot that will need to get over it, mate.

I don't live there anymore. I just worry for my family!,..

 

Buried in the text (the text is that wordy stuff below the headline).

The OECD, which had previously predicted “immediate” uncertainty after a Brexit vote, has today also upgraded to 1.8pc for this year, saying instead that the pain will be felt next year (it predicts 0.9pc growth).

 

Somebody losing 50% of £100 is far more affected than somebody losing 1% of £10 billion

 

What if the person who lost 50% of his £100 is a millionaire?

You have not really thought out your answer have you.

Try again...

 

But he wasn't saying we would lose a percentage of our exports he was saying what our exports were to the EU. Are you saying that we will lose ALL our exports to the EU? If not, why are you talking about losing? I'm just pointing out that you have to use percentages that are relevant. Like you have to use facts that are relevant. Remoaners don't seem to do that.

 

It's you who hasn't thought it through. No need to assume anyone has more than the initial sums given. If someone is a millionaire then they clearly don't have only £100

 

If he is a millionaire he has more than £100

 

Who's up for a get together at The Sensible Party HQ?

Please remember to knock on the garage door, not the front door as sudden noises scare the illegals living in Pete's attic.

Not sure how Medium Build Pete fits through the front gate.

 

Are you saying that the UK only exports to the EU and only has a net worth of their exports to EU?

 

I don't think this guy understands risk analysis. It's not what you will lose, it's how much risk those potential loses represent to your business.
The difference between 7% of your business and 44% of your business is very relevant.

 

Don't bother mate. He's a moron who thinks he's a genius. There's a reason why he's a 65 year old book keeper working out of a garage. KPMG never made the call to ask him to become a Partner.

 

I do thanks Bluey, and I've seen his house as well, very nice it is to.

 

He's a simplistic moron mate. He's working on the premise that because in capital terms we import more than we export, that we 'win' under a tariff system.

But can't grasp the simple economic reality of the risk factor, given that the thick end of half of our goods are exported to the EU.

There's also the fact than many of the major EU exporters to the UK have plants in other parts of the World. So they could wait for us to negotiate a free trade agreement with any number of countries and simply move production of all RHD cars for example to that plant and import here directly, thus avoiding any tariff.

 

Yeah but we had an empire once so it'll be fine.

 

Not what your comment says is it.

So we shall try again

Would you be more upset if you lost 50% of 100 Lego bricks or 1% of one Billion lego bricks.

Working on the assumption youlike lego bricks

 

More pointless thow away comments, at least try and debate
