I don't know where you got that fake news poster (Photoshop much? LOL) but here is the real one where Margret Thatcher openly defended UK's political and legal sovereignty and stated how EU is so inappropriate given the diversity among all the European countries. She said this in 1995, 20+ years ago. How right she was then and today:


Here is the more famous one where she openly rejected the notion of joining a single-currency European Union while giving up control of Britain's own identity with her famous words "No, No, No!!":


Can't believe we have to spend 20+ years to realize how right she was and tried to go back to do what she wanted to do in the first place. If only Thatcher is alive today to negotiate the Brexit instead of the lame May.
 
Peaceful protests...you have a problem with that?

Paris on the other hand is burning! 8000 riot police deployed! Good luck to any GS workers moved to Paris...you're gonna need it.

Let's contrast your videos with the one below.

UK alone is quite insignificant globally speaking, even more so without the banking sector. Not many Brits seem to acknowledge this. EU as a whole in negotiations is very powerful and you can get better results having more power.

JSOP, I'm curious where all the Japanese-owned car manufacturers will export their products from now on? US has it's own factories (+Trump's agenda), EU exports will face extra taxes. In case you don't know, the vast majority of the UK made Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans are for export to the EU. Overnight all the German cars made in Germany, Slovakia etc. will be much more competitive. The only logical conclusion is to close the factories. Something tells me you don't concern yourself with details, you just yell "long live Britannia!" and that's that. That's not a plan.

Why are you comparing Japanese cars and German cars? Germany would still make German cars just like before. WHY would they all of sudden be more competitive when Britain leaves EU? LOL If all the Japanese cars used to be made in UK, why would UK be all of sudden stopping to make those cars when it exits from EU? If these are Japanese cars then this is between Japan and EU, has nothing to do with UK. What EU is all of sudden going to stop doing business with Japan too because UK exited from EU? LOL Wow didn't know EU included Japan too. LOL

And if UK is that insignificant to global economy then why would Brexit be causing a global recession? This again is contradicting what many of the posters were saying before. You can't have it both ways.

This shows clearly how big your knowledge about economy is: ZERO.
When we speak about economy you are just an idiot who has no clue what it is about. But you don't realize that yourself as you are the idiot.

Any cars ( Japanese, German, Chinese, Korean...) produced in the UK will need certifications, duties etc... to be exported to the EU. Because UK will be outside of the EU. The exporting and importing "areas" have to have agreements as there are economical and also geographical borders between the two.

Here is the link. It is clear that all news you don't like is considered as fake. Maybe I photoshopped the website of the Guardian??? ROFLMAO.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/07/margaret-thatcher-eu-views-brexit

Here you see the result of UK membership (but that will be fake too probably):

OMG!!! Way to quote her out of context. LOL It looks like it's not just ET'ers who don't know how to read. The full text regarding her position is this:

"
Which is why the Conservative party is ablaze with argument over Lord Powell’s striking claim in today’s Sunday Times: that the Iron Lady would have opted for renegotiation of Britain’s membership of the EU “for something very close to what is on offer now”. Powell, Thatcher’s closest adviser for many years, concludes that her “heart was never in our membership of the EU, but I am convinced her head would continue to favour staying in on the conditions now on offer”.

It is certainly true, as has been disclosed by her official biographer, Charles Moore, that she was drawn to the case for Britain leaving the EU during the 1990s. She hinted as much in her 2003 book, Statecraft: “It is frequently said to be unthinkable that Britain should leave the European Union. But the avoidance of thought about this is a poor substitute for judgment,” she wrote. I heard her argue that Britain would probably be better out of the EU on two separate occasions."

It's very clear that Thatcher never wanted Britain to join in EU in the first place BUT now that Britain has insisted to have joined in EU, she would've probably yielded for UK to be in EU BUT she would've still renegotiated Britain's membership in EU which means she would've NEVER accepted Britain's current membership status in EU and would've still RENEGOTIATED with EU which is exactly what Theresa May is doing right now but is just failing miserably. But that is not to say in no way that Thatcher ever supported Britain to be in EU. LOL

If UK has listened to Thatcher, UK would've NEVER joined in EU in the first place which is what I said right from the beginning and this article really doesn't change anything. Nice try!! LOL

The UK has these Yellow Jackets too, just a few examples of the dozens of manifestations in the UK:

ROFLMAO...it's called peaceful protests which we allow here in a democracy. People with placards and flags!

Contrast with Paris riots, 8000 riot police deployed, the whole place is burning!






You are showing even more reason why the EU is doomed and why the UK needs to leave this undemocratic, violent institution. I reckon you've lost all credibility now mate.

Yes everything with "certification" aka European draconian bureaucracy. Bureaucracy has no place in free competition. Like I said, eventually all European countries would realize this and would want to leave EU and EU would be no more.

I'm sorry but you don't know anything about Brexit. Car industry is subject to price competition just like other industries. Most German cars these days are not made in Germany - they have factories from Slovakia to US to China.

Exports of UK-made Japanese manufacturers is irrelevant to Japan. The Japanese cars made in the UK are not exported to Japan, they are exported to the EU. This issue is about trade with UK-EU, not UK-Japan. Overnight, these cars will be taxed as coming from outside the EU, so there will be a 10% tax. German-owned manufacturers don't have this problem, they will still sell at the same price. They will have taxes on export to UK but overall, the EU as a whole will be a much more important market in trade.

I'm surprised the lack of knowledge seen in this topic by people doing ZERO research.
