Let's also have a referendum in Ireland where the majority of the island's population can decide on re-unification.
Let's apply that retrospectively to the EU referendum then!
True conservatives must take back control from the populists and extremist left and right wing nut jobs the world over ... Greece showed us the way forward putting an end to mob rule at the ballot box and putting right wing extremists into jail ... once this nightmare in Washington is over the rest will follow even in the UK!!
I think you waste your time being in politics with a bunch of halfwits! I'd get myself a proper job in the real world with people who actually add value and are competent!
Let's wrap ourselves in the St George's cross, sing rule Britannia and hope we will rule the waves ...
All this best in world commentary by the PM is just total and utter rubbish ... the UK is literally the sick man of Europe when compared to the latest global business updates coming across my desk on daily basis ... to top it all off he wants to go for a no deal Brexit ... we are like a rudderless ship at sea waiting to hit the rocks ... could the grown ups in the room finally step forward!!

In 1950 one $ and £ bought you €2.14 and €6 respectively. Today that amounts to no more than €0.85 and €1.09. In my books that's one hell of an appreciation .. in other words it would be significantly more expensive to produce in Germany relative to the US and the UK, if it wasn't for the more than 50% decline in relative productivity vs Germany for both countries since then. Also, they clearly sell quality products the world wants to buy. So your assertion could not be further from the truth! You are without doubt peddling a myth!!
Finally, as certain as day follows night the US dollar and British Pound will devalue more from here given that the Fed and the US government throw everything at debasing their currency, even without the prerogative of the gold standard!

Mr Cash, ultimately it boils down to this - we either do or we don't want to have a free trade agreement with our largest trading partner and the second largest single market in the world? If we do, then we must play by the rules of this market. If we don't then we have to either compensate for our loss of competitiveness by cutting costs and/or devaluing our currency. 43% of our exports in goods and services go to the EU or 30% of our GDP. The EU's exports to the UK represent 2.6% of its GDP. When we were still part of the EU we could help make the rules. Now that we are outside, we are simply rule takers. No screaming, insulting, harking back to days long gone and blaming the EU for all our own failings will ever change this! As simple as that!
