Meanwhile, Angela Merkel had the world's journalists laughing. At Brexit Britain's expense of course. :(

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Interesting to see Angela Merkel has the time to make anyone laugh, given she is unable form an effective government.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

The Government commissioned analysis on the economic impact of the various Brexit options and has been so careful as to only show a cabinet minster at a time.

Naturally it's leaked immediately: https://www.buzzfeed.com/albertonard...le9#.majkANAG7

Re: Brexit discussion
 

was just gonna post that but the Brextremists will deny it as usual

Re: Brexit discussion
 

A journalist from The Times now suggests that the leak means the entire report might now find it's way to Parliament....

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Could David Cameron have commissioned something like this before the referendum and would it have swayed people?

lol, there's no other possible outcome, surely?
Finally, as the Brextremists crawl back under their rocks again, how can Theresa May put a brave face on this damning evidence?

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Sigh....Some people still don’t get it that leaving the corrupt and pathetic EU is not just about money.

Whose crawling under their rocks?. I’m not and I still would vote leave. I’m sick of saying I do not to be part of a corrupt union that eventually wants to become a U.S.E !

Re: Brexit discussion
 

It may not 'just' be about money but money and jobs are pretty critical to people. Maybe people didn't think there would be £350 million extra for the NHS and maybe they didn't really think much would change. I doubt that many voted with the expectation they might lose out.

Anyway it might be worth waiting to see if this leak is genuine. The Government were very secretive about this document, minsters had to see it one by one and in a room without any paperwork being taken out with them. It's quite a leak if true.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

‘Might’ being the key word as usual.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Even if some EU countries formed a closer relationship, the UK would have had a veto. And you've yet to explain why the EU is corrupt despite repeating the assertion.

Anyway, assuming the Buzzfeed report is true*, the cat's out of the bag:

Leaving the EU means less money for the NHS and our armed forces...as I've said from day one.

*Now being reported in Financial Times, a paper not known for taking risks.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

There is no cat out of the bag. It’s not going to change a thing, so stop leaping about as if this means anything.

I have explained plenty of times why EU is corrupt. So I have nothing yet to explain at all.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Um, think this pretty much matches the expression.

It doesn't matter if this evidence changes your mind or not; it will have an important impact on public opinion and encourage the Government towards a soft Brexit. It will certainly make the May council elections even more exciting.

Good news for democracy that this report is out in the open and not kept within the confines of the political elite.

Re: Brexit discussion
 

It's a load of cack, (evidence of what? ) the same people trotting out the same flawed statistics . . . err I mean guesswork . . that worked out to be oh so accurate in the past, right?

Remoaners straw clutching yet again?

Come on guys . . secret meetings, one on ones, hush hush don't say a word, then . . ooops it got leaked :rolleyes:


I bet there's people even now saying the Russians leaked it :D:D:D

Re: Brexit discussion
 

Project Fear?
I'm afraid not. It's Project Reality. :dunce:

Re: Brexit discussion
 

and the evidence you have of this is??

Britain will be left worse off under all Brexit scenarios, with financial services, chemicals, clothing, manufacturing, food and drink, cars and retailing among the sectors worst hit, according to secret government analysis.


aah, thought so.

It's just what some people (highly educated and in positions of National importance) have 'accidentally' allowed to be leaked to the press - again!

one has to wonder why ;)
