Thanks for the tip, DM, I'll go and grab a copy. I don't subscribe so I'll nip to the garage and get one

In 2016, services exports to the EU were 7.2% of UK GDP; for the EU 27 services exports to the UK were 1.1% of their GDP.
The EU 27 accounts for 48% of UK exports of goods, and 8% of GDP (in 2017,*from the European Commission database).

Excuse the difference in year, but I didn't feel like putting too much effort into it.

If you add up 8 and 7,2%, you get 15,2% of UK gdp is attributable to exports to the EU. Satisfied?

Not for those who can understand it. Bread does.

Oh dear, he's been using the Abbottamus's abacus to do his sums. He's adding apples to oranges and coming up with shitty pears. I've come to the conclusion that our resident EU Troll is no accountant nor is he as adept at double entry bookkeeping as he likes to think he is.

Re: The UK Must Stand Firm & Reject the EU's Level Playing Field

UK exports consist of goods and services. In mathematical terms:
Exports = goods + services = 8% + 7.2% = 15.2%.
Suck it up percy.

Re: The UK Must Stand Firm & Reject the EU's Level Playing Field

Its that "crackpot calculator" again

Re: The UK Must Stand Firm & Reject the EU's Level Playing Field

And another of your arguments shot in flames. 15% is not the same as your 7,5% or the 5% of worstofall.

Hi

Both Boris and Gove have said we hold all the cards and the EU will collapse.

It is now wait and see time.

Boris backed down big time and agreed to break one of May's Red Lines with a NI Border.

Will he blink again?

It really is now Deal or No Deal.

There is no Australia Deal, that is full WTO Terms.

You should have left the word'calculator' out of your answer
Bread??

Donkeyman! 🤔🤔

Re: The UK Must Stand Firm & Reject the EU's Level Playing Field

Of course he will blink. Negotiating is giving and taking. The minor party giving (in) more than the party with the upperhand. So boris will blink to the EU, turn around to his citizens and try to tell them he didn't (like with the backstop alternatives). Since dominic cummings is his teacher, he learns from the best.
