    Woosh Of the 4 points you make here , and they are good points only one relates to brexit. (Item 3 ). The other points need to be developed irrespective of the UK position.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I did not vote for brexit but I respect the result and wish for the best outcome, that is one step short of FOM and one step short of the single market. A customs Union + a negotiated deal for our fintech is my preferred brexit.. By FOM I am assuming you mean full ordinary member. That would...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hi Dave, the situation is as of January 2017, nothing has been resolved, therefore there is a point in discussion. John Hume had to repeat the exact same message for close to 20 years before he could get both sides in the North of Ireland to eventually listen. The assumption that brexit is all...

    Thank you at least this is a position. But in what way has membership of the EU precluded these.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Zlantan, I have indicated that the autonomy that States CHOOSE to share is on a voluntary basis, both by signing various treaties and annex s to those treaties and by regulations coming from those treaties. Once they sign up to these conditions they are bound by them. That is the power that...

    Well they are correct. There is no brexit at present so it cannot be that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have described how autonomy actually works. Whether it agrees with your perception as to how it SHOULD work cannot be my concern. Mutual cooperation need not be a zero sum game as you are implying. Cutting down barriers to trade boosts productivity. Yes the EU is a trading block , but also...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    1. The eurozone is not the EU. As UK and a few others have shown it is feasible to be in the EU while not being in the eurozone. So in the context of the EU that is a red herring. 2. The Greek situation is , according to your post due to local corruption, the EU does not have a police force and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Thank you for responding. The argument that the EU is less important in terms of world trade Than 40 years ago, is undoubtedly true. In part this is because the EU population has remained static while the population of the rest has near doubled China 40 years ago was only becoming active in...

    Hi Zlantan, I will respond to your substantial email at a later date, and I am grateful to you for responding. However in response to this current email, note that half of that class you are referring to have nothing to do with EU Immigration policy as the children are of non european...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What you are ignoring is that this is actually a very live issue. Nothing and I mean nothing has been resolved. The legal situation is that UK is still a full and participating member of the EU. Your electorate gave a narrow advisory vote that they might prefer to be outside the EU in some...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The QUB report you refer to is almost certainly not a student project, it has all the hallmarks of a central administration report to their governing body and funding authority. It is indicative of the concern being experienced on this island about this proposed brexit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Everyone is entitled to an informed opinion. Not just an opinion. The assumption that any opinion whether founded on facts, years of experience, heresay, fantasy, etc are equally valid is bunkum. Based on your previous postings I would consider your opinion on matters aviation to have greater...

    True. But 40 years ago I used to hit those distances and durations on a touring bike 10 speed, panniers etc and travelling from youth hostel to youth hostel. In one near Paris, I met with a group of Germans who had cycled from Berlin in 10 days. I n those days before the wall came down there...
