- LatteLazy 6y agoYes, but Britian is losing more so we win! - brexiteer position
- danieldk 6y ago"They're now British fish and they're better and happier fish for it." - Jacob Rees-Mogg If one hadn't lived through the last decade or so, you'd be convinced that this was a Monty Python sketch or Onion article.
- ceejayoz 6y agoSure, but that’s not a surprise to the EU. They warned they’d be the result from the start.
- danieldk 6y agoSure, but it was the UK's choice to leave. Self-inflicted damage naturally receives more scorn than damage inflicted by another party.
- SideburnsOfDoom 6y ago> The reality is that both sides are losing. And also, the reality is that one side is losing more than the other side. And it's the smaller side that loses more.
- jokethrowaway 6y agoThat's debatable. The UK success will be dependent on its capacity to attract capital (as it always was). Being English speaking is great to attract American capital. Being outside of European covid debt payments is another advantage. The freedom to compete on taxation with the world will be another one.
- brnt 6y agoCompeting on taxation to attract foreign investors? Sounds like a great way for average Brits to lose even more.
- SideburnsOfDoom 6y ago> The UK success will be dependent on its capacity to attract capital And not on it's ability to trade with neighbours, both in goods such as fish and produce, and in services such and finance?
