Re: Brexit Discussion (Follow First Post Rules!)
I saw in the leaflet, the antithesis of what the leaflet was actually saying about how wonderful the EU was.
It enabled me to judge that despite the Project Fear being instilled, I would still vote to come out of the EU. That is the Brexit I saw.
Also I had no doubt that the reason the guvmin wanted us to vote Remain was so that DC and his cabinet could still have their slice of power at the big table. Even to the extent of handing them £10 billion net of our money p.a.
I will share my experiences of what my European colleagues thought about Brexit at some point but in the meantime, want to know what sort of projects our £350m per week have funded in your neighbourhood? Then check this out - https://www.myeu.uk/
Nearly a million within a mile of my home. Blimey.

£1.7 M within a mile or so of me, interfering corrupt Europeans, how dare they.
Whose decision was it to spend those millions? Ours or theirs?
It looks like, for the few I have looked at that it is like research council funding. The funding body decides the strategic direction and asks for applicants. These are then judged on their merits by independent fund governors. See EPSRC, BBSRC, NERC, etc. for more local examples.
For example, one big one close to me is funded by ECO-SEE which looks at green building design. Representatives from Skanska UK, The Building Research Establishment and a couple of UK universities are on the board. If it’s ‘our’ or ‘their’ decision, it’s neither.

Perhaps a better way to look at it is "How much of that £350m per week has not been spent on UK projects", you may then see the true cost of membership.

Just had a play here - http://ec.europa.eu/budget/figures/i...e/index_en.cfm In 2017, we spent €6326.3m and received €3199m so a deficit of €3127.3m or €60.1m per week. Based on an annual average EUR to GBP exchange rate in 2017 of 0.88, that is £52.9m per week.
Applause as Jean-Claude Juncker tells UK 'you can't pick and choose'
The European Commission president warns Britain will not be treated the same when it leaves the bloc.
The UK will not be allowed to pick and choose to be part of some of the single market after Brexit, the EU has warned.
In the final State of the European Union address before the UK leaves the bloc, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said he respected Britain's decision to leave the bloc and that the UK would never be "an ordinary third country".
But he asked the British government to understand that the UK "cannot be in the same privileged position as a member state" when it leaves.
PMQs: May hints UK might not pay Brexit 'divorce bill'
The prime minister tells MPs "the position changes" on the UK's £39bn divorce bill if there is a "no-deal" Brexit.
May asked about Brexit "divorce bill"
Conservative MP Chris Philp asks if payment of Britain's obligations to the EU is dependent on a deal being agreed with Brussels, noting the PM had previously said "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed".
May responds by saying that Britain is a country that abides by its international obligations. Although she notes that if there is a "no-deal" Brexit, "the position changes".

Re: Brexit Discussion (Follow First Post Rules!)
Fine. We voted to leave. That means not being a member of any bits of the EU. Leave means leave. We are negotiating access to, not membership of. Enough of the rhetoric, time to just get the job finished.
Shock news
If we crash out without a deal the Eu will force us to drive on the right hand side of the road when travelling in Europe.

Quote:
Later, in a radio interview, Mr Raab did not challenge industry warnings that a no-deal Brexit would bring delays at Channel ports of “45 mins for just one truck”.
“Certainly, there are some risks in relation to no deal and one of them would be disruption at the border if – in the worst-case scenario – the EU and member states responded without the collaborative spirit.”
There would be “contra-flow systems on the M20”, appearing to confirm plans for lorries to be parked for many miles along one side of the key motorway link to Dover.
