Carryfast it’s not that they would cut us off and prevent us buying bmws, it’s that they would put a levy on them. Meaning it would cost more to buy them and if they put a levy on goods we export it means EU countries won’t buy them. This will at best slow done economy at worst ■■■■■■■ it. No company will for go Europe for 440 million customers for a uk market of 60 million.You can bet your house if we walk away from EU they will punish us. And other trading blocks will know we are desperate and pump it into us.
Brexiters don’t realise uk is small country now.
Total utter unmitigated bs.
Firstly it’s ‘us’ who’d only put a levy on our many German imports ‘in response reatailation’ to ‘them’ putting a ‘levy’ on our few exports.That would hurt ‘them’ more than it would ever hurt ‘us’ assuming you can do basic maths.
IE we are a net importer of EU products IE we buy more from them than they have ever bought from us since we joined regardless of relative population levels.On that note why would we want to be part of a vicious Federal cluster zb that ‘punishes’ the idea of dissent or secession.Let alone when that so called ‘punishment’ involves the bs threat of a net exporter trying to kick off a trade war with a net importer of its products.IE if you’re right bring it on because that would reverse decades of Brit jobs being lost in the domestic economy,because the domestic market has been taken over by more EU imports than we’ve ever gained in exports to them.
Or are you a German car buyer who just doesn’t like the idea of having to buy British because of the bs threat of a non existent trade war with ze zb Germans.Which we’d actually benefit from by gaining more in the domestic market than we stand to lose in the EU market,if only it was true.
On that note I’m still waiting to for an answer from the Europhiles on here as to how it was that the pound was worth 2.7 Swiss Francs in 1969 and how we had a trade surplus with the EEC/EU before we joined and deficit after and how British workers had the right to take secondary strike action with more of them employed making British products for the British market.
All that if the EU is supposedly so good for British jobs and British workers rights and the value of the pound and trade.I won’t hold my breath waiting for an answer.But let me guess it’ll go along the lines that we are no longer good enough to make stuff for ourselves,or run our own country and we are now totally dependent on the zb Krauts for everything including our government.
