    So at last we have agreement that they will have pain.
    So is it worth it for the EU to prove a political point, because that is all it is.

    Their pain is minimal as its shared and they will be able to make it temporary. Our pain will be huge and ongoing.. In short we hold no e f the good cards whilst trying to strike a deal.
    Then if course we put thick as mince Davis and mincing Dr Fox in charge of our team,

    You couldnt make it up.

    Because there will be such a market for their goods in the affluent countries like Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece

    Where do you think the rich people from these countries live? <laugh>

    German exports have tumbled for the 3rd month in a row & the euro has reached a two and a half year high against the US dollar.
    Their economy is driven by overseas sales, particularly from the car industry and their top auto brands are being investigated for collusion over the diesel-emissions scandal. Do you really think they want to alienate their UK market?

    Here's a thought and I promise my last words on the subject.
    Brexiteers and Remainers haven't got a ****ing clue whats going to happen. Let's sit back, take the ride and see where we end up. Just the odd thought. We're here because of a Tory in-fight and their ego.
    Call me Dave didn't think he couldn't lose so tried to consolidate his position (needlessly) and it leaves the odd situation. Boris all his life has been pro-european (his dad worked a long time within) but changed his position due to his thought of being stabbed in the back for the top position by Cameron..
    Theresa is taking us out of europe despite being firmly a remainer and has shown just how inept she is throughout, bottled every decision and was left last man standing. The only leader throughout their entire political career that was a firm believer in leaving was Corbyn, who now sensing weakness is changing sides thinking it might get him to power.
    Not one of them gives a **** how any of this impacts on us, good or bad, as this is little more than a way to get the PM job. Once you know that the rest of the debate is pointless as the politicians don't give two ****s how it affects any of us. On an a more sombre note, I dare say all of us on this thread will be long gone before the benefits or trouble this causes will really bite.
    Still Leeds won 3-0 and are 4th so life is good with me <cheers>

    Well, Czech republic are now wanting a Chexit, they're calling for a referendum with around only 33 to 35% of population wanting to stay in EU.

    If and when the Czech republic leave, it's inevitable that Poland, Slovakia and Hungary will follow suit, they have their own alliance called the Visgard 4..

    This is what the EU members, such as Juncker and Merkel were always afraid of after Brexit. When one leaves, others will follow for right reasons.

    Not with Chexit on the horizon, they'll know Slexit, Plexit and Hexit will no doubt follow.

    Migrants leaving, and more proper Brits filling the job vacancies will only show that most migrants preferred to stay on dole and increase the taxpayers bill to fund the lazy and exploiting so called refugees / migrants. The results will then show a decrease in the taxpaying dole funded bill, plus, it will be a slap in face for those claiming we need more migrants to fill job vacancies, also, it brings the future horizon closer for proper Brits and work.

    Those claiming we have a skills shortage in UK (total Baloney) should think about using the saved taxpayers money, and money we save from not paying the EU to fund work skill programs so the Brits can be trained to do these so called skill shortage jobs.

    We must be short of Astronauts, Rocket scientists and honest Politicians or something.

    If you take away the percentage of migrants and so called refugees that have no intention of finding a job, and just want to live off benefits like most muslims and to a certain extent blacks, whites and other migrants, then that percentage rate will decrease dramatically.

    Also depends on what they class as a low skilled job. Low skilled jobs are not necessarily low skilled to the person who enjoys doing that particular job.

    The more takeaways and fast food chains you have in the country the more so called low skilled jobs you're going to have, add all the supermarket employees, corner shop owners, and factory workers and the low skilled category is going to be higher than normal, is a truck driver a low skilled job? the debate could go on and on just by mentioning the different businesses that employ people en mass........:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Wasn't Corbyn for derailing Brexit, and tried to rally his party supporters to help do same? as far as I'm aware, Corbyn is for remaining, but, that could've been the same tactic as he used to con the students to get votes.
