Yes it would. The EU is part of the world. It makes up 44 per cent of your exports. Trading with this 44 per cent will, obviously, became far more complicated after March 29.
The mere prospect of this has seen your production output drop six months straight.
I wish you could tell my chairman this. He sends daily emails to the company that consist of pro-Brexit propaganda insisting that every economic stat is on the increase.

No you're not.
You are a massive pin end though.
On a serious note, I thought it was pretty interesting, I doubt I'd ever have thought about it if Foulds hadn't mentioned it.

It does always seem to be near it's spot - from what I can recall anyway.
Can't ever remember one where they have had to nudge it off a cushion

Yes, because as a much bigger economy, our capacity for production, buying power and ability to trade across the world is far higher than that of Ireland. Debt wouldn't affect us as much for these reasons.
...and then I go and spoil it all by doing something stupid like leaving EU
Believe it or not, none of those things would diminish by leaving the EU.

Of course, that's because the whole thing has been run like a rubbish show from day One by the idiots in charge. It should never have come to this.
Production will stabilise once the final terms of Brexit are known and we'll find other markets for our exports.

No, it’s because the people of Britain voted for purple unicorns when the best they could actually hope for were brain-damaged shetlands.
Look, I hope you’re right, I really do, for our sake as much as yours. But I have grave doubts.

I would support a second vote. That said, if Leave won again can anyone honestly see things being handled any differently the second time around? It will be the same shit-show we have currently.

Yeah I pretty much agree with that.
I go back and forth: one the one hand, is the ability to make an
informed decision, knowing what we now know, a cornerstone fo democracy? On the other, would doing do betray the democratic rights that stem from the original vote?
I do think it would be an interesting thought experiment if nothing else, to call a second referendum to see how people would vote with the knowledge of the government's incompetence (which I maintain should have been expected from the outset. It's the British government, after all.)

There’s nothing undemocratic about voting again. People change their minds all the time based on what they see happening. It’s why we have elections every few years.

Fair enough. I personally wouldn't change my mind, but would have nothing against those that did. That's mainly because I'm not a staunch Brexiteer, I was never 100% in or out either way. It was more like 55/45. There are downsides to Brexit obviously, but the industry I work in would get a significant boost from it, and that was the main deciding factor for me.

Yes I agree - refuse collection is likely to be bouyant once we bring it back in house.

Mark Williams is not a better than Steve Davis.
in early 2000s Mark Williams was better than Ronnie and Higgins.

He reached 2 World Finals before John or Ronnie. he Won a World Title before Ronnie got to a final. hes won the TC in the same season 2002/2003 the list goes on and on you either have a selective memory or just stupid

MJW was better than ROS and Higgins until 2003, his achievments clearly show it.
Talent wise ROS was always ahead of him, and at the time until he won his first World Title many thought he would be like Jimmy White destined to never win it.
But yes until 2003 MJW was a cut above the rest. He was freaking good between 98 and 2003.
