We dont need all the data your links provide Solly, all we need
is the end result of all that, which your links do not reveal, and
that end result is a deficit of + - £ 80B in favour of eu not
including our membership fees! and increasing!!!

Because EU imports thousands of refridgerated tanks of wine
stock from places like SA, who eu adds a significant tariff to
so it does compete with eu producers, this tariff goes l
suppose directly to the eu commission or their agents for their
benefit and not for the benefit of the general populace Annie!
Thus, the comission makes a profit from importing wine and
using that wine to mix with crud they produce in eu to improve
it, so that wine snobs like yourself will drink it!

We are clearly doing something wrong now if we cannot buy decent cheap plonk in the shops. How can a bottle cost the same from NZ as it does from France? Why can't we supply the shops with affordable lamb from Wales when it's so cheap from NZ? Why do you think we can fix such anomalies by leaving? It's clearly something wrong here rather than in the EU. Some things are just not worth importing and exporting, for others we are being totally conned.

"Shock EU report" ? Give me a break.

What exports? Dyson prefers to relocate to a 44m property in Asia to be closer to his export market than to stay here. He doesn't like the EU's environmental targets. Having more powerful hoovers is no doubt more important than the planet.

What I've noticed is that we are not that good at importing from the EU. Take wine for example. Why the heck can't we buy the decent wine in the supermarket that we have in Italy, France and Spain when we go on holiday? Why is it we have this crud from the US and other parts of the world when the EU is next door? How can it possibly be cheaper to import fermented sewage from the other side of the world? Can someone explain to me why a bottle of really amazing plonk costs next to nothing in Portugal or Italy and we pay through the nose for rubbish here?

Yes, of course it's something wrong here.

They're called politicians!

And don't forget that most of them are supporters of the EU to the detriment of their own country.

Good point
While in Spain I drink a very nice red it costs €4.25.
I was pleased to see iit in Tesco except it was £9 a bottle on offer.
A good white can be had for about €3

Are you alright ?

You sound like a rambling drunk

Isn't that all about our own taxes?

And look at the price of petrol. Most of that is tax!

Personally, I think the government would make money by replacing petrol tax with 'bicycle frame tax'!
