Brexit .....embarrassment

After months of Remainers arguing that “There’s no such thing as the Brexit Dividend”

We now see Swindleson declaring the NO Brexit Dividend “exists”…

Well folks - either they BOTH exist, or NEITHER of them do.

She presumably refers to the £39billion we will be paying the EU on settlement on top of the next 13 months @ 1billion per month = £50billion.

Problem is, that we are under no obligation to ever pay the £39billion, because all the deals that involved it “have been rejected by Parliament already”.
The £1billion per month - has already cost us £8billion extra since May booted Brexit down the road from March 29th this year.
Boris Johnson’s crappy deal will cost us the £13billion extra - but so will any other kind of “Not Leaving”, including Swineson’s “Cancelling Brexit Outright” option.

FFS - Does she think that the EU will suddenly let us Remain for FREE after she becomes PM?

The question I’d like to ask her in any “Debate” is "How much have you bet on yourself to become the next PM, bearing in mind you’re pretty certain of that outcome at this general election?
If you answer "I’m not a betting person but… " then we can all safely lose all faith in her there and then, as she’s not prepared to put her OWN money where he mouth is.

The “Cancelled Brexit Dividend” - doesn’t exist.
She clearly hoped to cash in on the Brexiteer’s arguing that the Brexit Dividend DOES exist, but couldn’t explain how to raise it.

I’LL explain it then!

"The Brexit Dividend - is the contributed money we currently and ongoingly pay the EU - that becomes a cash saving to the UK economy the moment we CEASE paying that amount.

The amount is MINUS

Even if we argue it to be <350m> MINUS <250m Rebate> - we are still taking about a Brexit Dividend of £100,000,000 PER WEEK to the UK economy.
Another big advantage is that this money taken possession of simply by not handing it over to start with - can then be spent in any manner we choose, not just Liberal Left Propaganda projects, vanity projects, “Follies”, and Non essential window dressing, such as Beaurocrat Wages, including the MEP payroll.

If the EU wanted to keep the UK “in” - they could at any point have offered the UK an increased rebate, which could be put towards the NHS, seeing as we’re treating more people thrown over here to the UK “for free” now than ever before in history. If the EU are not prepared to be a bit more generous to “straining Britain” - then there’s no one else we can ask - is there?

I voted Brexit first and foremost - to re-patriate this money known as the “Brexit Dividend”.

Once gotten - we can always vote out the Tories later - if we don’t like what they spend the first months and years of that amount on in our economy. The country is better off by that amount saved ONGOINGLY after all.

Any “Brexit” that doesn’t involve “ceasing these payments” of course - is NOT Brexit.
If we leave the EU in “all the upsides that it brings” without leaving any of the “heavy financial burden downsides” - then this “oven-burned Half-Baked Brexit” - is likely to trash our economy, because we’ve really got the worst of both possible worlds. The EU are happy for us to proceed along those lines of course, as from their point of view - we’ll be begging to “re-join” the moment we are on our kness financially as of the next economic downturn, possibly just a few short months away, regardless of Brexit coming about in the meantime or not.

Funny thing is, that had Brexit been recently overturned, and this downturn then happened - it would be very easy indeed to blame the downturn on Brexit being Cancelled - rather than being BOTHCHED.

A bad deal - is indeed worse than No Deal.
No Deal - is the only Brexit that secures us 100% of the Brexit Dividend. We won’t be paying any £39billion over for starters, and money flows can be ceased with immediate effect, on pain of being busted out of Whitehall for “Failing to comply with direct government orders” to that effect.
The EU intially will offer us a far more generous concession - IF we come back to the negotiating table at that point. For example, a “Lower payment structure” would be a sensible compromise. Thatcher achieved something similar when “getting the rebate increased” back in the 80’s. This was akin to “trying to leave Sky - only to be told you get a £20per month discount if you stay on for another year” So you stay. :unamused:

If the EU compromise isn’t deemed generous enough - then we can always push for more - or snap up their compromise offer should it really be in the form of “An offer we cannot refuse”.

It could be sweetened up with a 75% discount on imported electricity for instance, and the German Monopoly on Russian-imported Natural Gas could be ceased, allowing us to both trade WITH Russia again, and CEASE trading with Iran, as we see fit. We cannot have a Two Sovereign States - Opposite Foreign Policies set-up. It is deplorable!

Get the MONEY sorted FIRST, and the rest - can be hammered out LATER.

The EU make a profit on UK trade, so once the money ceases to flow from the UK in the form of contributions - they’ll be a lot keener to “do a free trade deal quickly” than at present, where “kicking it down the road” means securing months more of UK contributions - MORAL HAZARD there!

There’s no way that Boris Johnson’s “transition period” gets to end on December 31st 2020 any more than Theresa May got Brexit done on March 29th, or Boris “died in a ditch” on 1st of THIS month. :angry: If we continue to pay the money - Brexit will forever be kicked down the road again, again and again - until we really ARE all dead from old age - Remainers and Brexiteers alike, this time. :frowning:

Ceasing the payments - “Gives us back Control” first and formost. Forget “controlling our borders” - we could have done that any time we liked. It involves spending money on border controls. There’s no EU rule that says we cannot do this, but I guess there ARE rules that say we cannot blow the blighters out of the water, like we might have once done in more enlightened Empire times. Good old “Dover Patrol” with nobs on!
