Only half the story there Tony.Could you tell me the net profit the UK get from the EU,an estimate will do.I'll give you a clue,it a hell of a lot more than we contribute.
You still haven't explained what you mean by 'profit?' If you mean 'trade' then trade will continue even if there is a 'no deal'. We don't pay contributions 'to trade' we pay contributions to be members of the EU with it's single market and customs union.
The report you published made reference to the cash contribution the UK makes to the EU. We are one of only 3 countries out of the 27 EU members who make a 'net' contribution i.e. we pay more in than we take out.
Also if you have the figures on this mythical 'profit' you keep referring to then please share it with us and explain its significance rather than keep asking me?
That said I suspect any reply will look something like a project fear response
Sorry to disappoint Tony but project fear is now is now redundant as its quickly becoming project reality,however,this is how I see it.
We make a lot of money net out of the EU regardless of contributions,thats a fact and not open to question.I voted remain but do accept the result,however,I don't think many want to leave without a deal.For Rees-Mogg and his cronies the question is not whats best for this country but a slavish adherence to very old Tory doctrine.They don't even command the majority of conservatives never mind a working parliamentary party.I understand your point of view as I know from your past postings that immigration is a cornerstone of your argument but that won't change even after brexit so you can't blame or chastise those who do not want the cliff edge version.
