Re: Brexit discussion
It seems that construction was the main sector affecting the slightly lower overall growth as it contracted slightly. Hardly a Brexit affected industry unless all the Polish brickies have gone home.

They are correct and you are indeed wise to heed their words.  Worse is to come if we do leave the single market.

We are leaving the single market and customs union, not doing so, is keeping a foot in the door to the EU which is what people who voted leave don't want.
Leave means leave, not half in half out.

You better tell that to those at war over it in the PM's cabinet.

I fear the fact-free Leaver media have misinformed you and many others about the Customs Union in order for you to vote Leave. Iceland is a member of the Customs Union but has negotiated a trade deal with China.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/e...ith-China.html
Anyway, we may not really leave as Sky News explains:
Quote:
Because, from within the Cabinet Brexit subcommittee, the idea of essentially remaining part of the same customs union is now seriously being pondered again.
Formally, this will be a separate and entirely new customs union between the UK and the EU27. Functionally, it means exactly what people meant a year ago when it was first suggested the UK would stay in such an arrangement.

Re: Brexit discussion
Are we getting any closer to a harmonious decision about whether Brexit is good or bad?
Let's take a look:
Facts for = 36
Facts against = 36
Tabloid manipulation for = 42
Tabloid manipulation against = 42
Non biased media for = 50%
Non biased media against = 50%
Lies & deceit for = 68.49%
Lies & deceit against = 68.49%
Results indicate an accurate scoring (to within + or - 73%) which reveals that, as yet, nobody has the faintest idea what's going on 
Forecast = carry on posting

My bad, well played, please accept my apologies.
But my main point remains - the EU Customs Union is not off the agenda. As the quote from Sky News showed, common sense may yet still prevail, "From within the Cabinet Brexit subcommittee, the idea of essentially remaining part of the same customs union is now seriously being pondered again."

Re: Brexit discussion
Don't pin your hopes on us staying in the customs union as it's highly unlikely it will be happening due to opposition from a number of EU member states and i really wouldn't put much faith in anything the media says in relation to brexit as all of them are too agenda ridden. Much like the EU referendum campaigns the average member of the public is struggling to get impartial and accurate information it's pretty depressing to be honest all we get is both sides throwing out rubbish that they think their supporters want to hear.

I think it's pretty clear that the cabinet is divided on Brexit but I've seen no evidence that EU member states wouldn't want to have a customs union with us. Certainly, it's pretty obligatory if we are going to honour our promises to the island of Ireland.
And Sky News is a reliable and impartial source IMHO.
