The Mess we are in.

Hi

I voted to leave, I am not a xenophobic idiot, I have Polish friends living in my house from time to time.

They have a business here, pay full tax and are exporters.

They are here one week in four, they do not claim for their kids in Poland.

Last year they paid £27,000 in tax here in the UK.

Their wives and kids come and stay here in the Summer Holidays, and spend a fortune.

I voted to leave, I did not vote for sheer stupidity which will cost us a mint.

Our idiot Politicians have screwed up big time.

We have upset all the other Countries we have Free Trade Agreements as part of the EU.

The only other Country in the WTO who relies solely on WTO rules is Mauritania.

We are going down this path.

This is absolute stupidity.

Our principal exports are services , which are not covered by WTO Rules.

The EU can take these from us and make a huge profit into the settlement.

My estranged daughter is a Tax Accountant, my only contact with her is via my son.

Brexit has given her a Bonus after Tax, to buy a house in the Cotswolds with 3 Acres, simply to move a big bank to the EU.

This is stupid.

Re: The Mess we are in.

Various economists are now saying wto isn't scary and is likely the best way out of this, it also doesn't have to be forever that once eu realise they have to deal with us on wto they will quickly come round to making a better deal.

They know far more than me so I'm listening to them. Iain Dale on lbc had a good segment during the week on it, very knowledgeable contributors and also Nigel has talked about it a few times with various businesses and bankers etc.
