[SydneyRover]

  Well Glyn I still have a place over in Turkey buddy, but I like it here, hows the tongue? that could be sore.

Wow timeshare in Turkey, where can I sign.

  You can't, I wouldn't let a racial person against the British people like you sit on the toilet seat buddy.

Even to an idiot you'd sound stupid sometimes selby

[bobjimwilly]

After 33 pages of posts we should have a good list of all the benefits. Anyone care to find them and post them below?

[belton rover]

Why don’t you start a new thread, Bob.

[hoolahoop]

5 years down the line and STILL not one discernible benefit from Brexit - where and what are they  ?

I take it you've not been jabbed then, Hoola?

[Hounslowrover]

SS, 6 EU states have higher vaccination rates than UK, so that benefit seems to no longer apply.

[Bentley Bullet]

There's a vast difference in population numbers between the UK and those six EU countries. Malta has less than half a million population. The UK has a population almost 6 times that of Belgium. Spain's population is about 2/3rds the size of the UK's. The UK has about 6.5 times the population of Portugal, and almost 12 times that of Denmark, and 13 times that of Ireland.

UK, 7th richest bloc in world it should be able to vaccinate, it's why it's death rate will improve over time as other countries fall behind, as you pointed out bb.

And here's some numbers to help explain the difference.

Total wealth.

UK 5th                   (3.7%)

Spain 12th              (2.1%)

Belgium 19th          (0.76%)

Denmark 25th         (0.41%)

Portugal 33rd          (0.28%)

Ireland 38th            (0.23%)

Malta 99th              (0.013%)

I guess the more wealth the more money they can throw at vaccines and health care, wouldn't you think Einstein?

Added: in brackets I have put the percentage of the worlds notional net assets each 'country' holds.

[Hounslowrover]

Also, Johnson , in PMQs, often reminds us that we are ahead of vaccinations because of the benefit of leaving the EUs medicine agency. We are not ahead.
BB, I said rates of vaccinations; country’s wealth, infrastructure,population etc are obviously factors as pointed out by Sydney.

[Bentley Bullet]

In terms of the absolute number of vaccinations, the United Kingdom and Germany are racing ahead with immunising their people.

  Well there's a surprise who has managed to diss Britain again and so early in the morning, looking at figures it looks like Spain could be heading for another tough time.

You're such a plonka sometimes selby, only you could construe pointing out how wealthy the UK is as a slight but investing your money in Turkey is an amazing way to show loyalty. Remind me, wasn't Turkey the country where all those that were going to flood Britain were going to come from ................. saw it on the side of a bus I think.

Is this because Germany also left the EU? Shock breaking news...

[Bentley Bullet]

No Wilts, but Germany did apparently violate the EU vaccine programme.

So, last season (thankfully) put to bed , but not the best start for Ritchie , early days hopefully. Now,  where were we?
I'm only a lad from Donny,  so thus sounds like a lot of money to me.

The Bank of England announced that voting to leave the European Union has cost Britain more than £440 million a week in lost growth since the referendum, thats £727 per second.

Why did we bote to leave the EU again?

£440 million per week, that's a whole lot of dosh washing down the Channel, Selby's our money man only he could explain how that make's us better off, with the charming assistance of bb of course, in your own time lads.

''In January 2018, the UK government's own Brexit analysis was leaked; it showed that UK economic growth would be stunted by 2–8% for at least 15 years following Brexit, depending on the leave scenario.[42][43]''

Vote brexit, you know it makes sense!

[SydneyRover]

Meanwhile the lefties of the NE are revolting ...............

''Business chief calls on PM to save north-east from Brexit damage
James Ramsbotham, CEO of North East England Chamber of Commerce, says letter sent to Boris Johnson remains unanswered''

''Ramsbotham is the chief executive of the North East England Chamber of Commerce and speaks for thousands of businesses caught by the red tape and extra costs of complying with EU rules. In a recent survey, 38% of members said sales to Europe had fallen since January''

  Welcome to what was our world Germany

It's in the Express, do you really believe it to be true?  Still, now we know where you get your nonsense from!

[BillyStubbsTears]

It's beyond ridiculous even for The Express.

1) They quote a Green Party P who is strongly in favour of German contributions to the EU as being AGAINST German contributions. In fact, what the Green Party MP is doing is pointing out the fact that the EU should be taking action against neo-fascist governments in Poland and Hungary.

2) They quote two AfD Party MPs complaining against German contributions. The AfD is a very far-Right populist party. It is way to the Right of being a German equivalent of Farage's mob and is effectively a neo-fascist party. So of COURSE it is going to be critical of the EU. But they are not in any way representative of general mainstream German political opinion.

Typical of the Express, which has a tenuous grasp on fair reporting at the best of times, and has become an unapologetic sewer pipe for far-right opinion. Not surprsing that someone on here who is an unapologetic xenophobe and racist should quote it and think that somehow clinches an argument.

[Axholme Lion]

Good to see you back, Sydney's been struggling without you.

[normal rules]

Italexit will be next. Just a matter of time.

  I can get them out AL, they Love me, especially those who wake up in a morning in a country they despise, and read the Guardian for informed information that is unbiased.

Here's a handy video that explains, in simple terms, how the Single Market works  It contains subtitles for the likes of selby.

Bloke who bought a holiday home in Turkey accuses people who didn't of not loving their country.

Keep that money pouring into Erdogan's pocket Selby - you fascists need to stick together.

  NR, Poland and Hungary could run them close, they know the tap is about to be turned off and they will start to be contributors, they will hang on and milk it while it is there then do an exit stage left when the southern states hang their hands out for big bucks.
  Wilts it isn't a holiday home, When I go on holiday I like to be waited on and do as little as possible.

At the last count 45% of Italians agreed or strongly agreed with leaving the bloc. A further 28% we’re undecided. They were waiting 5 yrs until after uk break to see if uk economy was ok. There will be an independence vote in Italy in a few years. It will only go one way.
