How do you even have an economy after this? Do they think the whole country can coast by on international banking? It's like voluntarily turning Britain into an aid-choked African country that can only earn incomes by giving up all their resources.

those same colonized african countries also have rulers that become exceedingly rich

The Department for International Trade (DIT) intends to cut 80-90% of all tariffs imposed on goods imported into Britain, according to Whitehall sources.

The radical blueprint, which has been agreed by the Cabinet, is intended both to keep goods prices in the shops from increasing dramatically and to signal the UK will remain an open, liberal economy even after leaving the EU.

According to insiders, this move would represent the single biggest liberalisation in British history.

Trade experts have warned that by slashing tariffs without waiting for reciprocation elsewhere, the UK is undermining its ability in future to strike effective trade deals, since it loses much of its leverage.

dramatically liberalizing my economy to own the libs

The thread title is wrong, they don't want to slash all tarriffs by 80-90%, they want to eliminate 80-90% of tarriffs completely

Typical REMOANER hate. I like the sound of this,I live in Waterlooville, Hampshire,I am a hardened leave voter as I am 70 Year of Age and have Never been on the DOLE.

Our British Goods were once of the Highest order. Do You Recall Aston Martin? Or perhaps Jaguar? I do and my Father Does as he Built them. It begs the Question of Who Should Govern Britain? And I say the British ought to.

Brexit is a Fight for the Very Sovereignty of our Nation. EU membership and referendums run Contrary to the British Constitutional Tradition. Why The Reformation ingrained a Particular View of Sovereignty that makes it hard to accept the jurisdiction of a supranational body such as the EU dominated by Bureaucrats and Corbynistas. True British thinking to this day is still shaped by Thomas Cromwell’s decision to define England as an Empire in which the King of England was the authority on all matters. The 1533 Act in Restraint of Appeals to Rome, which effectively ended the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church in England. Such Storied History of Britain fighting against an Organization that Supercedes Sovereignty has Happened again with the European Union and with Brexit we take back our British history and Destiny.

New IRA 'has recruited dozens of dissidents and has locations of old arms dumps'


Hundreds of dissidents are feared to have signed up to a new Republican terror group amid mounting anger over Brexit .

One source told the Mirror that groups including the New IRA have up to 200 active members, including some paramilitaries with years of experience during the Troubles

Concerns over a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, plus broader concerns over our split from the EU, are feared to have radicalised younger Republicans.

And a source said the New IRA has dozens of new members who have taken the “oath” – based on the text laid out in the old Provisional IRA green book.
