The post you are reporting:
If you have read that lot and made sense of it, you've gone right up in my estimation.
Here's what I think I've found out:
We are a nett importer, so trade with europe wouldn't suffer too badly, if at all.
We would be 'allowed' to trade with other countries that we can't at the moment which could improve our trading profits.
We wouldn't have to pay vast sums of money into the EU kitty, but we wouldn't get a proportion of it back, and there doesn't seem to be an accurate nett figure for this. (There should be, basic accounting would call for it)
It could be possible to remove 'european' criminals and other such undesirables as they wouldn't have automatic rights to live here, but this could work against British citizens living and working in europe.
As for your last statement, you're probably aware of my opinion of our politicians, so I won't go into that.
Which countries can't we trade with at the moment ? Obviously not China, but even I can work out why they are not on the 'banned' list.
I have learned quite a bit from this, didn't know most of the above before today.
The house price thing, can't the idiots in government actually do something useful with the windfall, like pay off the country's debts, or sort the NHS out or start large capital projects. (Haha, what are they ? roads...)
