Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
When it comes go who hurts who, you brexit Empire boneheads, it would pay you to remember two things. Numero uno, there are eight times as many of them as there are of us. That means, boneheads, that they can absorb a damn sight more disadvantage than we can. It's transparently obvious that they don't want us to leave. But they have far more ability to cushion the losses than the little ol' UK. Second, they have the economy of scale when it comes to international trade that we will not have once we leave and become a weak little isolated nation that doesn't really make stuff (and wot we make is too uncompetitive to sell anyway). Plus, boneheads, they have all their trading deals in place, whereas little old us have got to start from scratch. No probs, then, eh, brexit boneheads? :-)
