Seriously, that's got to be made up for a laugh surely?

I think so. @Capo4th should hang his head in shame.

quarky said:

Don't buy it personally, but not surprised this kind of thing has come up:

So will you be joining @Capo4th in the "hang your head in shame" corner @quarky? :P

No, as I said at the top of the post, "I don't buy it". And my comment about @Capo4th was in jest

UK exports are relatively inelastic which is why the last time the pound dropped exports didn't increase much. Imports will cost more leading to an increase in the price of the average households weekly shop.

There have been plenty of times in the past when a weak pound has boosted exports. Obviously it will do so less when other economies are struggling, but that is less likely to be the case in this instance.

Just had a look at this thread and it directed me to some posts on 13th June, a lot of them mentioning my home country, a lot of them full of frothing bigotry.

Some people here should just stick to guitars and decorating their cave with drool and avoid politics altogether.

A shining example of social "progressiveness", completely open borders, and with no desire for control of their own future is my guess.

Were they having two votes? Or is the first comment about voting the leave the EU also wrong as well? It looks like it might be.

20s on Google suggest it's total bollocks. They had a referendum on the EU in 1994 and the 2003 one was solely on the Euro. And "no" won.

Worrying to think how far that meme has been shared.

Yes .. garbage. The Dutch speed camera one is naff as well as we buy lots from South Africa. And the speed camera meme should at least say the Netherlands .. Holland is just a province.

A dutch girl I spoke to said they all call it Holland there anyway

Simple: it's a load of shit written by a convicted fraudster who's part of the same conspiracy theory bullshit fountain that gives the world Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars, Alex Jones, and the rest of it.

I worked there and have plenty of Dutch friends who get pissed off when you call the country Holland. It would be like calling the UK England - the Scots, Welsh and N. Irish would be rightly pissed off. People do call the UK England and I have no doubt people call the Netherlands Holland (especially if they're from Amsterdam) .. I have a few Dutch friends on Facebook who are pedants on the subject .. :-)

Quite liked this analysis. Might have just swayed me.

this was an interesting perspective that I'd not seen before

I have an issue with the way the EU supports and protects big business. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) revealed that the the European Court of Justice has forced HMRC to pay back £7.87billion collected in tax from big business and will be forced to pay back a further £7.3billion before 2020. the Treasury looks set to lose ongoing court cases at the European Court of Justice, with another £35.6billion at risk. This is just outrageous but you don't hear Osborne going on about it. £36 billion is half the national deficit.

Taxes declared unlawful include corporation tax on profits distributed by a subsidiary to a parent company and stamp duty serve tax - a levy raised on electronic paperless share transactions.These taxes were approved by the UK parliament. What right has the EU got to influence our tax policy?

I bet Professor Dougan didn't mention that.

The "best" bit is that she's taken Leave to task for taking a 20 year old quote on a different topic of of context and revealed that she is a Remain supporter.

Imagine being so desperate to score points you have to *pretend* Victoria Beckham is on your side :-D

Actually, it is ironic that "Remain" keep wheeling out people who want the UK to remain, but they don't actually live here themselves. That says something.

Erm, we're talking about Vote Leave trying to wheel out Victoria Beckham, who doesn't live here.

Does that "say something" too?

quarky

In reaction to yet another remain supporter who doesn't actually live here (her husband) being wheeled out.
