Of the 'jobs' that are in danger of being lost how many have to do with doing something for the rest of Europe?

Being such an expert and all, how many jobs in the UK are reliant on its membership of the EUSSR? I'm sure you can tell me.

If the UK is an export location for the EU then the jobs are already filled in the EU or the products would not be available. Is the UK thinking of manufacturing all the items that she now imports from the EU.

The UK is the EU's largest export market. When the UK leaves the EUSSR and the French are then daft enough to want to stop selling us their crappy wines and the Germans are then daft enough to want to stop selling us their overrated cars then that's THEIR problem. If they want to stop selling us things so be it.

And where do the Eurotrons get the stupid idea that in order to trade with the EU you have to be IN the EU? The UK isn't a member of the US, but it trades with the US. It isn't a part of Japan, but it trades with Japan.

1. Rather than leaving the EU the UK should become more acticve in promoting changes that are 200 years behind the times and then the EU would be trying to join them. Isolationism doesn't work unless it was the UR isolating the UK.

So leaving an inward-looking, terminally economically-sclerotic thing like the EU which consists of just 13% of the world's countries, and joining the 87% of the world's countries who are NOT in the EU and becoming more outward-looking and global in its outlook - as Britain used to traditionally be - would be being "isolationist" would it?

Britain should get out of the EU and start focussing on building closer ties with the rest of the Commonwealth (many of whose members suffered economically when Britain abandoned them in 1973 to join the EU, New Zealand being a prime example). The Commonwealth's vibrant economy surpassed that of the Eurozone in size in 2012; Europe is the ONLY continent whose economy is shrinking (although Britain's economy is outpacing the rest of the G7, and will grow 3.1% this year); Britain is in a trade DEFICIT with the EU and in a trade SURPLUS with the rest of the world; and Britain's trade with the EU is DECLINING but its trade with the rest of the world is GROWING.

Populism?

Populism?

That's just a simple Left-wing term for "policies which are popular with the ordinary man on the street and which will do the country a whole lot of good rather than Left-wing PC,socialist policies which are unpopular but are driven through regardless of what the people think in order for the Left Wing Establishment to get the kind of Lefty, PC, second-rate, wishy-washy, socialist state that they're after."

Everyone else prefers to just use the term "popular".
