Re: Easyjet to serve dublin

I suspect this time FR will just sit back and let EI destroy them , even EI has lower costs and better management than EasyJet ….

Re: Daily Telegraph: Project Fear was right all along.

Right now UK GDP growth for Q2 was 0.2%, while it was 0.8% for the Eurozone. GDP in the UK is today 0.2% lower than pre pandemic, while Eurozone GDP is 1.8% higher than it's or pandemic level. So much for the "UK having faster growth coming out of the part covid-19 period"... Must be from...

Re: Daily Telegraph: Project Fear was right all along.

Nope. Your claims is just reductio ad absurdum and very wrong. Can’t be absurd if its factually true If the EU did act like 27 separate nations without a real legislative framework, courts, tiered laws with the EU laws being paramount, you might have a point... but no. You are 27 individual nations...

Our trade of goods with the US is larger than the trade with the EU and we have no say in its regulations either.

Re: Daily Telegraph: Project Fear was right all along.

No, it does matter. The EU is the UKs biggest trading partner, that fact that you chose a source that breaks that down further in to its individual countries is your decision. Germany has a bigger trade relationship that any of the us states so we should focus on Germany. Seeing as this thread is a...

Re: Daily Telegraph: Project Fear was right all along.

Thanks to the great thing that is free movement in the EU, I've spent most of my adult life living and working in other EU member states other than my country of birth, Ireland.

I remember being on my honeymoon in Ireland back in 2004. The people there were mad about the Eastern European countries being admitted into the EU and how they would suck money.
