Righto. So you can't read.

I'll break the link contents down for you. It doesn't say that we don't import from Russia. It also gives a handy spreadsheet breakdown of movement, which is more than your pretty little image provides.

The only thing of merit your image provides is the line at the bottom which basically says that just because Russia export x % to the EU, it doesn't mean that we get that proportion as a share from our EU imports.

Does that help clarify your completely incorrect point into language simple enough to understand?

Or shall I try and break it down into immigration in the hope it sinks in a bit easier?

Who is this cnut Juncker tossing the U.K. around like a rag doll.

Has this wanker lost the whole idea that the 'common market' was formed as a buying group. Its fuckers like him that extend it to include a European identity card, and a possible Euro army.

Non electable or accountable and now demanding the U.K. must pay, he can fuck right off, I'd smack the cnut if I could get face to face.

Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

Um no. The origins of the EU come from the 1950 The Schuman Declaration.

Europe having been through 30 years of cataclysmic war sought to avoid another war and to stamp out any possibility of such a war happening.

They sought to do this by intertwining the economies of Europe so closely together that they are interdependent upon each other so war between them was an impossibility.

This is why it's so difficult to untangle from the EU because it was designed for this purpose.

The Federated superstate was ALWAYS the end goal.

Strictly speaking you don't have to pay anything at all. Problem is if you don't pay anything then you're seen as an untrustworthy trade partner and this may make future trade agreements difficult. People with CCJs always scratch their heads and wonder why people won't lend to them except at punitive rates.

Oh and before anybody says it WTO rules aren't actually an option.

Long version

WTO rules will completely mess with the NI border. If the UK leaves without a trade deal with EU then it will have to use WTO rules with EU.

The WTO rules require equal tariffs on all countries that do not have a trade agreement. The UK would be breaching WTO rules if there was no border as they already confirmed there would not be. No customs border to regulate and apply tariffs means no tariffs to Irish goods :

Most-favoured-nation (MFN): treating other people equally Under the WTO agreements, countries cannot normally discriminate between their trading partners. Grant someone a special favour (such as a lower customs duty rate for one of their products) and you have to do the same for all other WTO members. (https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_e/fact2_e.htm)

If the UK does not impose custom checks on Ireland under a WTO situation, then every other WTO member trading with the UK could lodge a dispute about unfair treatment.

The UK would likely lose any and all disputes and would either need to :

Arrow Drop all tariffs for all countries to bring them inline with Ireland

Arrow Impose a customs border on Ireland

Arrow Change nothing and " offer compensation or suffer a suitable penalty that has some bite"
(https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_e/utw_chap3_e.pdf)



An example might be the US lodging a dispute that beef from Ireland is not subject to the same customs checks and or tariffs as US beef as MFN rules demand. So they lodge a complaint with the WTO. An example of this is quite recently where the Trump administration stuck a 220% tariff on Bombardier and increased it to 300%.


These can be mitigated with a free trade agreement. The problem is free trade agreements are neither simple or easy to agree. Trump for example is a protectionist. In fact everybody is fairly protectionist to protect their own industries.

As Val has pointed out indirectly mind that existing EU deals aren't easily transferred to UK. As other WTO members have already shown by complaining about the division of quotas between UK and EU. The WTO complainants want the EU27 to keep the old quotas AND have a new UK specific quota. In effect they want to export more stuff. This may mean cheaper food at the cost of your own domestic producers as the quotas were put in place to allow free trade up to a point. This up to a point is important because any more and it damages your domestic industry.

Oh and if you lose your domestic industries or control of them... well then you kind of cease being an nation with any sort of sovereignty. If you've ever seen the film Lawrence of Arabia and the Damascus scene at the end you'll know what I'm on about.






New WTO rules and FTAs won't be as simple as politicians suggest.

Don't forget that some of the same people promising easy WTO option also said brexit would be easy.


TL:DR WTO rules mean treating all WTO members the same if you don't they can lodge complaints and stick tariffs on you. The NI/Ireland border means Ireland will automatically break the most favoured nation status.



Oddly enough the magic money tree has suddenly been found to fund all the stuff that needs to be put into place. Though not to be released till January.

Another who can't tell the difference between a common market and a federal state in the making...

It was just the trade (the only bit we want now), which we signed up for back then.



No not really.

The federalisation was ALWAYS the end goal.

The common market was merely an incremental step towards this federalisation. Edward Heath was very much in favour of the end goals of Schuman Declaration and spoke about it in the HoC. He has a tediously long statement in Hansard about it.

He knew however he could not sell this to the public as did many of the supporters of the plan.

So it was re-branded and sold as something else that was more palatable to the people as a 'common market'. They voted for this because this is what they thought they were voting for but it wasn't they were voting for something else instead.

Completely slimy and tricky of course...

Though this isn't something new. National insurance which we generally consider to be just another tax was sold to the post war generation as a contributions stamp and a hypothecated tax. This is why the myth that there is a big warehouse filled with national insurance money persists.



It still goes on today.

Why don't you read the Schuman declaration itself? It makes a lot of things about coming together of nations. It was made in 1950.



The telling point is when Robert Schuman said that Europe would not be made all at once (thus incrementally) to create solidarity.


It's pretty simple Edward Heath mis-represented what people were voting for. This is neither uncommon or radical and it happens all the time in politics for instance magic money tree? 350million a week?

I dunno have you noticed talking to mpd is like talking to a 3rd wave feminist? Like how your rules are not my rules. How she doesn't actually have a shred of integrity and will use the tactics of SJWs while slamming SJWs at the same time?

For example she demands you apologise yet has never apologised to me and only responds to me in racist overtones.

So you have proof?


Why don't you actually have a read of the Schuman Declaration and what happened shortly after the declaration?

Quote:
World peace cannot be safeguarded without the making of creative efforts proportionate to the dangers which threaten it.

The contribution which an organized and living Europe can bring to civilization is indispensable to the maintenance of peaceful relations. In taking upon herself for more than 20 years the role of champion of a united Europe, France has always had as her essential aim the service of peace. A united Europe was not achieved and we had war.

Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity. The coming together of the nations of Europe requires the elimination of the age-old opposition of France and Germany. Any action taken must in the first place concern these two countries.

With this aim in view, the French Government proposes that action be taken immediately on one limited but decisive point.

It proposes that Franco-German production of coal and steel as a whole be placed under a common High Authority, within the framework of an organization open to the participation of the other countries of Europe. The pooling of coal and steel production should immediately provide for the setting up of common foundations for economic development as a first step in the federation of Europe, and will change the destinies of those regions which have long been devoted to the manufacture of munitions of war, of which they have been the most constant victims.

The solidarity in production thus established will make it plain that any war between France and Germany becomes not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible. The setting up of this powerful productive unit, open to all countries willing to take part and bound ultimately to provide all the member countries with the basic elements of industrial production on the same terms, will lay a true foundation for their economic unification.

This production will be offered to the world as a whole without distinction or exception, with the aim of contributing to raising living standards and to promoting peaceful achievements. With increased resources Europe will be able to pursue the achievement of one of its essential tasks, namely, the development of the African continent. In this way, there will be realised simply and speedily that fusion of interest which is indispensable to the establishment of a common economic system; it may be the leaven from which may grow a wider and deeper community between countries long opposed to one another by sanguinary divisions.

By pooling basic production and by instituting a new High Authority, whose decisions will bind France, Germany and other member countries, this proposal will lead to the realization of the first concrete foundation of a European federation indispensable to the preservation of peace.

To promote the realization of the objectives defined, the French Government is ready to open negotiations on the following bases.

The task with which this common High Authority will be charged will be that of securing in the shortest possible time the modernization of production and the improvement of its quality; the supply of coal and steel on identical terms to the French and German markets, as well as to the markets of other member countries; the development in common of exports to other countries; the equalization and improvement of the living conditions of workers in these industries.

To achieve these objectives, starting from the very different conditions in which the production of member countries is at present situated, it is proposed that certain transitional measures should be instituted, such as the application of a production and investment plan, the establishment of compensating machinery for equating prices, and the creation of a restructuring fund to facilitate the rationalization of production. The movement of coal and steel between member countries will immediately be freed from all customs duty, and will not be affected by differential transport rates. Conditions will gradually be created which will spontaneously provide for the more rational distribution of production at the highest level of productivity.

In contrast to international cartels, which tend to impose restrictive practices on distribution and the exploitation of national markets, and to maintain high profits, the organization will ensure the fusion of markets and the expansion of production.

The essential principles and undertakings defined above will be the subject of a treaty signed between the States and submitted for the ratification of their parliaments. The negotiations required to settle details of applications will be undertaken with the help of an arbitrator appointed by common agreement. He will be entrusted with the task of seeing that the agreements reached conform with the principles laid down, and, in the event of a deadlock, he will decide what solution is to be adopted.

The common High Authority entrusted with the management of the scheme will be composed of independent persons appointed by the governments, giving equal representation. A chairman will be chosen by common agreement between the governments. The Authority's decisions will be enforceable in France, Germany and other member countries. Appropriate measures will be provided for means of appeal against the decisions of the Authority.

A representative of the United Nations will be accredited to the Authority, and will be instructed to make a public report to the United Nations twice yearly, giving an account of the working of the new organization, particularly as concerns the safeguarding of its objectives.

The institution of the High Authority will in no way prejudge the methods of ownership of enterprises. In the exercise of its functions, the common High Authority will take into account the powers conferred upon the International Ruhr Authority and the obligations of all kinds imposed upon Germany, so long as these remain in force.

Of course we wouldn't be so coarse as to ask for an apology right? Not that she'd offer one though.

You can have a read of it on Hansard where Heath tries to sell it but he is called out by other MPs about it being a federation.

https://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1950/jun/26/schuman-plan

It doesn't matter how you slur me.

All that happened is that Heath sold you a pup 60 years ago.

Then John Major sold you a pup 30 years ago too .

You probably don't like it because they were Conservatives. It's not like Conservatives would ever lie would they? There's definitely no magic money tree!

Joy? I wouldn't call a reset joy the leaving will cause a reset.

Resets are bad, but they do give an opportunity to rebuild and opportunities to rebuild IF done correctly can have good results though things such as breweries and social events involving alcohol come to mind at this point.

Reset? What do you mean? It's actually a problem long in the making. Oh and before 'Borg chimes in yes it's your fault.

Grab a nice cup of tea it's story time.

A long ago the boomer generation were promised generous pensions and a great future. This is seen in the New Jerusalem type rhetoric. All these promises could not be repaid even with normal population growth. These promises were made as a way of stopping them from agitating/striking smashing stuff up for higher pay back in the day. This promised great future meant boomers didn't need to plan for retirement the traditional 10000 years of humanity way by having a couple of children to look after them in their

With no children meaning no future workers the tax and productivity base shrunk meaning promises that were already unlikely to be paid had an even smaller chance of being paid.

So? What did the government do? The government opened the borders all the way to get a workforce in the hope of paying out on the future commitments.

This coincided with the 80s and 90s had automation increasing production yet reducing the tax base by simply making some people obsolete.

While this happened some boomers saw these problems and realised they'd been sold a pup and the promises were unrealistic especially as Gordon went on a pensions raid. So they decided to get a retirement income a solution was to buy the housing stock and rent it out.

The problem is this also requires immigration because the same basic problem - not enough payers to payees still exists. Pensioners cost 1/3 of the entire UK public spending and more boomers retire everyday. But people don't like immigration.

So what's the solution?

To tell the boomers they're not retiring ever. This is equal to trying to sell them bollock cancer. It won't fly at all.

The EU was a sticking plaster trying to kick the can down the road. In fact if you zoom out you can see Europe as a whole tried to do this with MENA migrants.



Normally the boomers and grey vote are such big blocks they can carry the government alone on their sheer voting numbers. Problem is the government (of all colours) has ticked so many people off that these voting blocs aren't enough to carry the day.

So you get a government in paralysis and there are few tools left to prevent a reset. The question is do you do a forced reset or do you do a managed reset?



It then becomes a grenade question. Who throws themselves on the grenade to give others a chance of survival. Will you give up your pension and government moneys?

You are sounding increasingly like Marxist: the theory is perfect, it just hasn't been implemented properly...

Finding money for the implementation is the problem.

And traitors like Hammond: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/philip-hammond-no-deal-brexit-sacking-theresa-may-chancellor-budget-business-leaders-cbi-support-a7999226.html

Seems to be a growing view among some hard-line Brexiters like bnp72 that we can forgo WTO in case of a no deal Brexit and go it completely alone Laughing
