Was he telling you that you sell solar panels for a living?

You guys are so desperate for us taking our money away to hurt the EU.

Either that or dying for Italy to upset the Euro.

Brexit only (kind of) makes sense if the EU collapses/struggles without us.

So many have pinned their hopes for future success on the failure of others - and get rather annoyed when the other countries involved aren't sporting enough to play along.

Import: 60% comes from Europe, almost entirely EU.

Only kind of makes sense ... To you.
It makes sense to others.

I don't see why this is difficult to grasp.

Lots of things which apparently make perfect sense to others don't make sense to me. I don't understand it but I accept it and let em crack on.

Can I ask what you guys will do when/if the EU does collapse?

No logic in that line of thinking.

Brexit will be a success if the EU is also a success, as in both parties being strong entities to trade with each other.

But Brexit will still have been a long-term success long after the EU has collapsed.

In the massively unlikely event the EU does collapse, who really thinks that a post-brexit UK wouldn't be hit so hard it'd make the financial crisis look like a doddle...?

I don't think anyone expects it would be a walk in the park. It would affect the entire world economy.

And yet it wouldn’t matter a single bit who was to blame.

That should be fun, trying to blame Brexiteers for the Italians blowing up the Euro.

I wonder what the odds are for Virulent Remainders emigrating to EU post March 2019. Or is it all mere posturing?
