We don't pay £350m a week.

I said why I voted Leave in the other thread where you turned keyboard warrior and got banned.

You voted to leave because you were ignorant of what that would mean. You admitted that in #22 above, and here.

It's just a story the Brextremists told you to get you to vote for them.

How much does it cost before any rebates?

After rebates in 2016 it was £267million a week according to the ONS..

A rethink on FOM of people & money would be a start, along with a rethink on the ECHR. We got on fine when it was the "Common Market". Another problem is farming subsidies, abolish or change them so our farmers can start to be productive so we aren't reliant on so many imports, same with fishing, we have our grounds to fish and we wont have a repeat of the recent farce of British fishermen taking stock from French waters that the French were not allowed to fish. It's rules like that which get peoples backs up, UK & eu. But as seen, it can't be done overnight, so a clean break ( no deal ) then start again.

From £267m now take off how much we get back from the EU in investments. The net figure is around £8.5bn about £170m a week.

Money? Why that.

I can agree with a rethink on farming subs and fisheries.

A clean break wouldn't mean a restart unfortunately. We will just have less leverage to negotiate as I pointed out before.

If there is one issue that could strengthen the EU its a rethink on FOM by making it more restrictive than it already is but this assumes our Government will implement it properly.

People who support Rees Mogg should note the book his father wrote which has become his guiding principle its about sovereign individual not beholden to government, they are all for fewer immigration controls. The sovereign individual is a rehash in parts of Ayn Rands work. They believe in elites being unencumbered by the proletariat.

Rees Mogg sees Brexit as a vehicle to achieve his aims.

Loose change then..

When it equates to a billion per week in benefits, yes.

So you saying we get over 5times more out than we put in?

 

[noseall]

So you saying we get over 5times more out than we put in?

Probably more like 6 times.

 

[durhamplumber]

Probably more like 6 times.

Probably more like some seriously novel stats manipulation.

 

[noseall]

Probably more like some seriously novel stats manipulation.

Aye.

All I know is both sides cook the figures. What IS true though is that Brexit is turning into a reet toxic mess.

 

[SirGalahad]

What we get out is seamless trade, no border stops. US companies use the UK as a base to establish themselves in the EU. We have a positive surplus in services and Lead on Euro clearing services.

That's just a few of the benefits.
