    Idaho, where do you stand on Brexit? Inside the single market or outside?

    I have a whole list of issues with the EU. It's undemocratic, it's neo liberal, it's corrupt, etc. However brexit as it stands its ridiculous. Its like complaining that your landlord is bad and your house has a load of problems - so you are going to move out and sleep in the park.

    I've already noticed the decreased spending power of the pound, both in terms of smaller quantities here and lower exchange rate when I want to buy from overseas. So, inside the single market or outside?

    By inside the single market do you mean retaining pre-brexit tariff levels with european markets or do you mean having to conform to EU rules when dealing with the rest of the world?
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Good question. Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day ;)

    What would you do, the EU is nothing but a hindrance for your trade, with the bonus of being bossed by a plumb ex-stasi eastblock farmhorse and a serial-alcoholic who just can't help wet kissing people

    I hope my comptent is sufficiantly obvious

    Who really envies you lot. We can easily leave, slapping tarifs on us will only make food and industry in the EU more expensive. We are stuck with believers in the ideological part sadly, for now

    peace, what a joke. With Ukraines now semi-membership and inevitable full membefshjp the EU ruins the deal that ended the cold war
