Up goes the wall

Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty was triggered last week. This means that we will start talks to leave the European Union. This is a scary time because it means that our trading relationship with the EU will change and eventually we will pay tariff to export and import goods to the EU.

It is what the people of the UK want. With the right decisions we can become a successful global trading nation.

I stay optimistic and have a vision that everything will be good. The change may be a bit messy but it will work.

The benefits I can see is that it will be harder for big shots to transfer money to tax havens within the EU because when they transfer the money, they will pay a fee. If less people evade tax then the tax system will

The other benefits are that we can get trade deals with India and China. The EU has failed to make a tariff free trade deal with those two super economies.

Brexit insults, oh please.

Brexit has become a well known term around the world. Unfortunately Brexit voters are associated with stupidity and hatred. The truth is that we are not stupid. We all had rational reasons to vote to leave the European union. I had a bunch of reasons.


Firstly I felt that international trade deals with the EU was a compromise best fit arrangement for all the member states and suited no one perfectly. I felt that trade deals would be better if each country made their own deals.

Secondly we would often sanction trade with unpopular countries as a block and that is likely to lead to world war 3. Hitler came to power in a bankrupt Germany if I remember correctly.

Thirdly I didn't like the EU interfering in our Legal system and overturning court judgements because some of the criminals are a hazard to our safety and it is none their business.

Fourthly I don't like the Euro currency and think it will cause the European central bank to collapse and devalue, that in turn will lead Economic refugees flooding into the UK in their millions causing the cost of property to rise too high. Good for rich and bad for ordinary people.

Finally I feel that every county in the Euro zone is better off outside the EU political and trade union. Some countries are being depopulated others are over populated, both situations are grim. Depopulation leads to losses in tax revenues and less resources. Overpopulation leads to unbalanced inflation and low wages.

Please tell me now if you think I am a bigot or stupid hater. Please do. I am tired of hearing this nonsense and I am tired of people aggressively trying overturn a democratic vote, If we stay in the EU then the UK is a dictatorship and should not take the moral high ground with other dictatorships around the world and  our future is a grim one.
