Look, you have been rumbled, you clearly didn't look at the other information options on the HMRC site The inför mation on that page had all of the trade statistics you could wish for, including quarterly stats for several years and annual stats summarised since 2008. It was far more meaningful...

That gives the UK's current year to date trading results for 2016. It actually makes a lot of sense from a macro point of view, much more relevant for the referendum decision than total Eurostat statistics. What possible value are trading statistics for 20 years ago pre bank crash etc? The...

Here's the list https://www.uktradeinfo.com/Statistics/ ... ables.aspx Follow the link to top 25 trading partners. We also have a big deficit with Italy. Of our top 25 trading partners, 10 are in the EU. We have a trade deficit with 9 of them, the only trade surplus is with Ireland and given...

Actually Jake, I'll help you out. Figures for 2016 in millions (Exports = our exports, Imports = our imports) Source HMRC Germany: Exports £10,452 Imports £20,456 France: Exports £6,268 Imports £7,978 Netherlands Exports £5,965 Imports 10,930 Belgium Exports £3,649...

Where do you get your numbers from Jake? A cynic may suggest that you are trying to distort the percentages. Expressing the aggregate of exports to the UK as a percentage of total EU exports is a pretty meaningless number. Source please, or rather than quoting percentages give us the raw...

Editor of the Guardian is voting leave! http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/06 ... ing-leave/

Actually, that analogy is pretty stupid as you seem to be forgetting that the UK is the fifth largest global economy. If you used the team that finished 5th in the premier league instead of the team that was in 96th place, then you would be betting on Manchester United! With regards to your...

Will of the politicians? If we vote Brexit there will be a queue of people representing Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi and BMW outside Merkel's office counselling for continuing free trade with the UK and no German politician is going to create a recession Germany but ceasing to trade with the...

Largely self-inflicted after they borrowed way beyond their ability to repay. . Not so, Greece had been understating its fiscal deficits for years and should never have been allowed into the Euro zone thereby chaining its economy into a monetary system geared up to the interests of France...

Is the EU a democratic and open organisation working on behalf of EU citizens or does it have a different agenda? When they tell you that Remain is the internationalist and outward looking option...... http://order-order.com/2016/06/17/eu-co ... h-despots/ What else are they hiding?

The depths that some will sink to get exploit a tragedy is well put here:- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ClGkbxpVAAAaKoL.jpg:large and here http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/06 ... -time-low/

If the politicians had been honest about the true consequences of joining the common market, there would never have been a yes vote in the first place. But you pose an interesting point, if we were outside the EU and were offered membership on condition we opened our fishing areas, allowed...

Guns or something.......well an EU army would be a start. Veto? What would that be then? Do you mean the veto that Cameron gave away for the promise that the EU may at some indeterminate point in the future definitely maybe consider to change the way it operates? If the link in an earlier post...

Sovereignty. Actually if we vote Remain we WILL sacrifice sovereignty. Anyone that thinks we can reform the EU from within is delusional. Regardless of whether you like or loathe Cameron and Corbyn, we have the chance to vote them out and influence policy. We have no chance of holding Junker...

At least we haven't sunk to Bob Geldof's depths. http://order-order.com/2016/06/15/remai ... qus_thread The fishing industry has every right to be upset at what the EU has done to them and for a peaceful protest to met with such boorish behaviour from the multimillionaire Bob Geldoff speaks...

It also contains a large number who were using the same scare tactics about what would happen if we didn't join the Euro. A notable omission from the list was Neil Kinnock who has £10 million reasons for wanting to Remain http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... ecide.html

Remind me, when was the last major EU funded business set up in the UK? There is another aspect to this. If you think about the evolution of industry in this country, the agrarian revolution changed the way food was grown thereby releasing labour that had been working in the fields to work in...

If only the Remainiacs would be honest about what is being held back for fear of affecting the referendum result http://heatst.com/politics/everything-t ... sm_tw_post The application of VAT on food will happen quickly because the EU needs the money .

Its getting to the stage when I almost cannot watch any of the Exit debates. The next time one of the Remainiacs bangs on about how the EU creates jobs, I wish someone would ask them how the following EU employment interventions helped to create jobs in the UK. Cadbury, Factory move from...

You are right, a UK government may or may not do the things you listed above, but at least if you dont like it you can vote them out. The EU commissioners are unaccountable. It is an EU decision to regard tampons as a luxury item and therefore vatable, there is nothing you can do about it. If...
