My straw man wouldn't last f...@Cheerful Edward<br /><br />My straw man wouldn't last five seconds against your straw army!<br /><br />You cannot say what trade with what became the EU would have been had we not become part of it. Why three trillion, why not two or four? Had we not joined, would we today have such a massive current account deficit with them? I really can't see why we would have. <br /><br />And how would our trade with the rest of the world been otherwise?<br /><br />Back to economic AIDS. Between three million and up to eight million jobs we were told "depended on Europe", the implication was absolutely clear. If we don't join the Euro these jobs would disappear ad the country would essentially economically collapse, never to recover.<br /><br />Were you around 20 years ago listening to the shrill and hysterical scare stories? I was. And, of course, they all turned out to be utterly garbage lies.<br /><br />I doubt if anything I or anybody else could tell you would change your mind. Which is fine, believe what you want and keep on entertaining us.<br /><br />But I think a lot of people have changed their minds, and not just in this country.<br /> Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-32779881922765214572019-05-10T21:32:51.746+01:002019-05-10T21:32:51.746+01:00That's some Straw Man, Mark.
Of course the UK...That's some Straw Man, Mark.<br /><br />Of course the UK would have done trade, as it contrived to do in the early 70s, but with mediocre results to say the least.<br /><br />There's quite a difference between say, three trillion and eight billion. And what would it have had to have done, to access the world's richest market, right on its doorstep? Well, pretty much what May is struggling to get through Parliament right now, wouldn't you say?
