  37.  @aidanmasterson50  You say both are a lies? Which is easy for YOU to say but you can't back your statement up with facts to disprove what I have said. I can back up my statements with Genuine Facts. Which is why remoaners always never win. Many of the EU's largest economies for example France. Spain, Republic of Ireland and Italy's national debt levels are on par with the national debt of Greece. Those countries are close to financial collapse. The EU is only planning to raise interest rates by 0.25% in July yet many of the larger countries in the EU have inflation at 17%-20%. Compare that to the USA who plan to raise interest rates up to as much as 2%-2.5% to slow inflation over the next couple of months and the USA has already raised interest rates to reduce inflation. The UK is set do increase interest rates similar to the USA because the UK has the freedom to act quickly. The EU Commission/Brussels is so slow to act, (always reacting instead of being proactive) it is guaranteed to create a massive economic crash and massive inflation across the EU. The German banks have clearly stated they won't bail out other EU country. Instead German will asset strip the rest of the EU countries and mainland Europe will never be the same again. Germany pulls the strings of the EU and the coming financial disaster is being manufactured with this asset stripping in mind. Financially Cripple the rest of the EU members and hand over complete power to Germany via debt and asset ownership. Germany has already stripped every industry of value from every other EU country. Now this is the end game. The EU lost 1/3 of it's cash flow (slush fund) when the UK left the block. Combined with the 2 year financial impact of Covid and the Global energy crisis, the majority of EU countries don't stand a chance of survival. The only way for the EU/Germany to make gains in power and wealth is to bring the rest of the EU member countries to their knees. The EU Commission have set the wheels in motion and can't be stopped. So blindly supporting the EU Commission/Brussels isn't going to help.

  43.  @edipires15  LOL I love it when people desperately attempt and fail to twist the facts. Yes its true that Germany imports almost 1 Billion of cheap Chinese junk every day, that Germany floods the entire EU with. Destroying every industry in every town and city across the whole EU 27 member countries. That trade is a one way trade. From China to German ports. That isn't a trade "partnership". The EU doesn't sell much to China. LOL. The delays at Dover was a manufactured to make a good headline. It lasted a few days at most. LOL. YOU don't even understand the withdrawal agreement and the UK-EU trade deal are two very separate things. The UK under those terms has the right to remove any part or all of the withdrawal agreement, without any changes to the UK-EU trade deal. (YES the EU signed that agreement) Happy to educate you further. There was a land border/hard border with border check for almost a year in Ireland due to Covid. Carried out by ROI police. Please carry on with your complete nonsense and I will carry on pulling your twisted narrative of half truths apart. The EU completely stuffed the ROI financially. The ROI tax haven status inside the EU is over. Per capita the ROI has the largest national debt in the EU and the ROI has lost it's only way to pay that debt. Now the ROI has lost the UK land bridge, the ROI is paying more than double the cost to move goods from France/Spain to the ROI by ship. So please don't try to tell me the EU is working to help the ROI. Do you really want me to carry on???? I'm just getting warmed up.

  46.  @johnhobbes2268  It's clear you don't understand trade deficits. The 44 Billion is how much the UK spends on German built vehicles once you deduct how many UK vehicles Germany buys. Which is why the UK is buys more vehicles NET from Germany than any other country. UK vehicle purchases was just one example, to explain why the UK has FREE access to the vast majority of the EU's single markets. You say the UK's trade could magically be replaced but the EU doesn't have the freedom or capability to do trade deals around the world. Every EU trade deal has to be agreed by every single one of the 27 member countries. The EU single market is an internal market that is impossible to grow. The UK left the EU membership to allow growth and that is why the UK has signed more trade deals in the past 2 years than the EU/EEC has achieved in the past 30 years. That is why the UK's vaccine research development and manufacturing was so far ahead of the EU/Brussels. That's why European vaccine companies moved to the UK and did deals with the UK government. That is why vehicle manufacturing i the UK is growing so fast, while vehicle manufacturing in the EU has shrunk by more than 40% since 2019. The same reason German vehicle manufacturing has lost over 300,000 jobs in the past 3 years and 3-4 times that figure in the supply chain. You only have to google the words German car plant losses and the news headlines are there to see. Plus other car plants like Barcelona were closed and the manufacturing moved to the UK. So if you think the UK's vehicle sales can suddenly be replaced with an imaginary market else where in the world, your in for BIG shock.

  47.  @johnhobbes2268  The Pfizer vaccine patent is owned by the USA. Seriously you need to try much harder. It seems you have swallowed the EU's fake propaganda. Do the research. The EU didn't have any vaccines of it's own and still doesn't. They are manufactured under license and the EU public are paying 4-5 times the price for their vaccines because of Brussels constant failures. Not to mention those vaccines have very poor effectiveness compared to UK vaccines. Now the EU is classed as a hostile trading partner and has to pay inflated prices. None of the vaccine and pharmaceutical companies are investing in future developments inside the EU because the risks are so high. Many vaccine companies refuse to do deals with the EU/Brussels due to their hostile trade negotiations. The head of the EU was previously in charge of the German militaries weapon procurement and the shortage of weapon was so bad the German army had to do state parades with broom handles because they didn't have enough rifles. The EU's GDP is shrinking year on year (way before the pandemic) which should be impossible because the EU has more than 1 million migrants every year. Those extra 1 million migrants should guarantee increased spending but the reality it the EU has more people and less money to be shared out between them. Sadly when you eventually wake up to the complete failure of the EU Project it will be too late. The whole EU project is nothing more than a pyramid scheme/scam, designed to filter wealth and power and jobs to Germany.
