I'm not suggesting for one second that we won't adapt and that expensive goods will still be transported. Its the day to day goods that we currently take for granted (like bread) that will have to be made and sold locally.

Farage has been verbally putting Merkel and the EU in their place again.
I can only find it on Facefart, but he makes some bloody good points for the lefties on here to completely ignore, because it's Farage innit?
https://www.facebook.com/leaveeuofficial/videos/285639248947523/
An unavoidable EU army, pushing it's borders Eastwards, creating a cold war with America and Russia, pushing for more federal central control and forcing Merkels failed immigration project on the rest of the members. The original European project was to put a stop to German attempts at dominance, they're now doing it on the quiet.
Who were the pro EU lot on here a couple of years ago, chastising me for daring to suggest the EU is pushing for it's own army? You can eat your words now, it's a very real prospect.
As for Macron saying the EU needs it's shiny new army to offer protection from the Americans and Russians? Words fail me, did this twat ignore the history of the 2 world wars, or are they firmly on Germany's side for World War 3, to avoid having to surrender again? ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

You miss the point entirely, because you didn't take in what I said. That graph only shows a brief period. As I was pointing out, Oil prices have been spiking and falling several fold for almost 100 years, I just showed one brief and fairly recent example. We change, we adapt, we're not doomed if we leave the EU or oil gets more expensive. Football will still go on, kittens will not be killed by German stormtroopers if we leave the EU, it will be Russian ones instead.
We'll be an Islamic state long before any of your doomsday scenarios of Armageddon outside of the EU, come to fruition. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

mdp that's a relief then...

Steris UK looks like 1200 staff, 23 offices and 100 locations providing healthcare sterilisation services, the kind of task which was best done by the customer until "out-sourcing" became popular with managers. So they're moving their taxable node to Ireland which has been flouting EU tax rules for some time. In fact it's been said that the EU has encouraged Eire to resist Brexit in return for a blind eye to its rule-breaking and its opposition to an EU-wide digital tax. |

An interesting counter to the argument that the EU has delivered peace to the continent.
Quote: | Although (WW1) ended a century ago, it still offers three crucial lessons that are relevant to our increasingly disordered world today. First, peace is always more fragile than it seems. In 1914, Europe had not experienced an all-out, continental conflict since the end of the Napoleonic wars a century earlier. Some observers believed that a return to such catastrophic bloodletting had become almost impossible. The British author Norman Angell would immortalize himself by suggesting, just a few years before World War I, that what we would now call globalization had rendered great-power conflict obsolete. War, he argued, had become futile because peace and the growing economic and financial linkages between the major European states were producing so much prosperity.
Angell had good company in the multitude of thinkers who believed that improved communications were knitting humanity ever more tightly together, that international arbitration was making war unnecessary, and that nationalism was being suppressed by newer, more enlightened ideologies and improved forms of international cooperation.
The eruption of World War I showed that these trends were no guarantee of peace at all, because they were so easily overtaken by the darker forces of conflict and rivalry. Destabilizing shifts in the balance of power, the geopolitical rigidities created by hair-trigger military plans, the rise of social Darwinist and militarist ideas that exalted the role of war in human and national development, and the tensions surrounding a rising Germany’s bid for European preeminence and world power had created a great mass of combustible material that was set alight by the seemingly minor spark provided by an archduke’s assassination. |

An increase in EU militarisation recently proposed by the French and Germans won't help; quite the opposite. |

Indeed we will. Apparently the Irish don't like it without even having read the document, so unless TM can find a few more billion it looks like it is a dead duck even before TP puts it to Cabinet. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

'Make France great again!' Trump mocks Macron over world wars as Merkel calls for 'real true European army'
Donald Trump has hit out at Emmanuel Macron with a volley of tweets saying the French were "starting to learn German in Paris" before US intervention in the world wars, rounding off the attack off with a mocking plea to "MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN!"
Mr Trump began with an extraordinary attack on Emmanuel Macron’s call for a “European army” by likening a French defence rapprochement with Germany to the Nazi occupation of France.
Minutes after his online outburst, German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave her unprecedented backing to Mr Macron's defence plans, saying she too wanted a "real true European army", which would complement, but not rival, the Northern Atlantic Alliance, Nato.
In a burst of tweets, Mr Trump also defended his lack of attendance at a World War One memorial event at a cemetery in France at the weekend - he was widely criticised after pulling out due to rain - and threatened wine tariffs in a fully-fledged Twitter rant.
“Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia,” tweeted Mr Trump, just back from the Paris commemorations.
“But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two - How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!”
Mr Trump has frequently criticised the level of members’ contributions to Nato, saying these had always been "ridiculously unfair" to the US.
His remarks drew scorn from Guy Verhofstadt, a Macron ally and the EU Parliament's Brexit Coordinator, who tweeted: "What Trump doesn’t seem to realize is that without French money, the USA would not even exist as France financed the American revolution. They even gave you the Statue of Liberty to celebrate this!”
The comments came just two days after Mr Macron and Mrs Merkel held hands and kissed after commemorating the World War One Armistice signed on November 11, 1918.
Mr Trump also threatened wine tariffs against France in the rant on the social network.
"On Trade, France makes excellent wine, but so does the U.S. The problem is that France makes it very hard for the U.S. to sell its wines into France, and charges big Tariffs, whereas the U.S. makes it easy for French wines, and charges very small Tariffs. Not fair, must change!" he wrote.
Mr Trump's ire stems from a call by Mr Macron last week for a "true European army”.
"We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America,” he added, citing the recent decision of Mr Trump to withdraw from a Cold War-era nuclear treaty.
Mr Trump called the comments “very insulting”.

The people are grateful to Jacob and Boris for the new businesses boosting their economy.
That is, the people of France.
Chubb wrote: | Chubb European Group SE (CEG) and ACE Europe Life SE (AEL) are currently authorised in the UK. As the UK is part of the EU single market this allows these entities to operate in all EEA countries. This is likely to change as a result of Brexit.
Until 31 December 2018, Chubb European Group SE and ACE Europe Life SE will still be domiciled and have their registered office at the same address in England and will remain authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.
Chubb has also received authorisation from the French regulator ACPR so Chubb European Group SE and ACE Europe Life SE can redomicile to France on 1 January 2019. This is subject to Chubb fulfilling certain administrative requirements by the end of 2018.
From 1 January, 2019, the new registered address for Chubb European Group SE and ACE Europe Life SE will be La Tour Carpe Diem, 31 Place des Corolles, Esplanade Nord, 92400 Courbevoie, France.
From 1 January, 2019, Chubb European Group SE and ACE Europe Life SE will be supervised by the ACPR, 4 Place de Budapest, CS 92459, 75436 PARIS CEDEX 09 and operate in the UK – initially at least – as an EEA branch. |
That's a $60 billion company going bye, bye. |
