Not any longer, though.
You can easily find out yourself. Enlightening!

Do you really think the EU will crash because the UK decided to become the 50th state of the US?

Yes Annette, its very sad l think, as all those companies
which were British, could have still been british and have been
financially viable with the correct investments, as has been
proven by the new owners,
The money that was paid to buy these companies was then
invested on the stock exchange instead of making the uk
a productive country?
I dont blame the eu for this, but being a member does not
make sense when we have little to sell, we are condemned
to being a consumer, hence our large trade deficit with eu!
Uk needs major reforms, brexit should be the start of this!!
And, no l dont expect or wish eu to collapse if we leave
I just expected to be allowed to exit in a calm and logical
manner and not subjected to abuse and hysterical
outbursts backed up with underhand tricks and strategies
using people in high places to overturn a clear cut decision
made by the electorate!
Boris has just used a trick, the first one by the leave side
so far, look at the result?
I hope he uses more tricks, its the only way to beat people
who have been happy to use the same tricks for the last
3yrs!

It was "the sick man of Europe".

Now we are the second biggest net contributor in the EU and walking out the door.

Then you have 27 member states in decline with a currency being bailed out with its 3rd round of quantitive easing.

I'll give it 2 years maximum before the rats leave the sinking ship. We have more in common with the usa than we do with europe thats for sure. The biggest trading partner (in terms of country) we have is the usa. Our trade with the eu is declining year on year.

I see the usual London mob with their phones permanently on selfie buttons are parading outside Parliament with their little homemade cardboard posters hoping to be seen on the news. No doubt they will have been told when dinner will be ready.

Re: It's Official! We don't have to pay the £39BN.

Predictably, the BBC News is interviewing exclusively people who seem to assume that everyone is in favour of leaving with a 'deal'.

I believe the truth is quite the opposite.

I haven't been watching Sky News, but they are probably of the same leaning.

It would be nice to have the option of a TV news programme that is politically unbiased!

It has been up here, though for some reason we never see any remainiac snowflakes round here. I think they're all in Londonistan.
