Apparently Games Workshop (the nerdy warhammer modeling/tabletop game) is worth more than the entire UK fishing industry.

Potentially we could follow China’s example and subsidise steel production

What do you think the EU might do in response?

None of it makes any economic sense, we’ll all be worse off, the country will be worse off, the NHS will be worse off.

While it doesn't make economic sense to a vast number of people, it makes sense to some. So what if the economy contracts, it will recover, but probably not to the levels we have seen, this will affect the general population, but this isn't about them.

The people who want to leave without a deal have most to gain by being free of EU rules and regulations, this is why the focus on sovereignty has appeared, its all they've got left. If the economy nose dives as a result, if the population suffers as a result, they don't care because its not their part of the economy that will suffer the hardest.

Please don't think that the economy is some homogeneous entity, it isn't, there are going to be winners in this, at the expense of others...

Also when the now PM said '**** business' people should have really taken that seriously...when some shows you who they really are, believe them.

That's right. Trading on WTO terms, also jokingly known as the Afghan Option, means no deal. The U.K. will become a third country with no preferential access rights.

They're probably the only honest words that have left his lips since the beginning of the referendum campaign, or possibly ever.

And that's two more than the oily little shit, Michael Gove ever managed

Every business in this country could go under and he and his dodgy mates would find a way to profit massively from it. They couldn't give a toss about Britsh business or the British People. No self-proclaimed nationalists ever give a shit about the nations they claim to lionise

I found it interesting to compare the UK with Norway (free of the EU)  here: https://www.heritage.org/index/country/unitedkingdom

I didn't really appreciate how good we have it, although that pretty much only leaves one way to go...
