Hi

Well if we do leave without a deal, then the WTO Tariff on wine is 32%, that will hit the EU, particularly France, Spain and Italy hard.

Of course. It will give the rest of the EU yet another way to show their dislike of us.

The billions you get in funding for scientific research and development?
Oh dear. Oh dear. Woe is me.
How are we going to make up all the money we get from those generous EU handouts?

Oh, hang on.

Don't we pay in twice as much as we get back?

Oh, I forgot about that.

From France, perhaps?

We already have the best minds and best students. FLIcker is fooling herself again.

Finally, I'd just like to apologise for having read her idiotic post. I don't usually bother, but I just couldn't resist this time.

Re: What will we miss from Europe ?

Now that 'we' are officially no longer members of the EU, 'our' MEPs (including that useless git Farage) should cease being paid as Euro MPs and cease attending the Parliament, along with 'our' Commissioner(s).
