Brexit will have soon cost the UK more than all its payments to the EU over the past 47 years put together
| Brexit is likely to have cost the UK more than £200 billion in lost economic growth by the end of this year — a figure that almost eclipses the total amount the UK has paid toward the European Union budget over the past 47 years. According to research by Bloomberg Economics, the cost of the UK's vote to leave has already reached £130 billion, with a further £70 billion likely to be added by the end of 2020. https://www.businessinsider.sg/brexit-will-cost-uk-more-than-total-payments-to-eu-2020-1/ damn lol isnt it that one of the main reason for Brexit is that the leavers think they pay too much money on the EU? but look at that now |
| Now there's a real shocker. |
 |
| That would basically mean the UK would be in an economic low for the next roughly 30-50 years and that's before Scotland and Northern Ireland leave. |
| For some reason, I'd love to see UK crumble. |

| The UK pays £15.5b a year. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/governmentpublicsectorandtaxes/publicsectorfinance/articles/theukcontributiontotheeubudget/2017-10-31 Most of the cost is from the remainers doing everything they can to hold the thing up for 3 years. Also the original article is not available but if they can't get the headline figure right, I don't hold out much hope for the rest. The UKs economy is still doing better than Germanys. |

The way the economy is handled in this country - tax policy in particular - is beyond me. Sure, the national debt has decreased in relative terms but private debt continues to rise and necessary investment is being delayed. Considering 3 years of political uncertainty in the UK, values slightly below EU28 average are imo acceptable for a developed country of this size. |

| According to their votes, shouldn't they have split off some years ago? They could have listened to their majority vote (why even put up the vote if you're not gonna go through with it?) and be rebuilding their economy for some time now. |

| Old new is old. Pretty much everyone warned them about that, but the Brittish always had that attitute that they think they are better than the mainland of Europe. Let them crumble. Now leave them be in their extra mess they have created. |

| That's short term, everyone that's pro-Brexit has said that it will be expensive in the short term, Brexit is better in the long run. |

| Your grandbrats will see the good sites of it. Don't blame them. At least someone cares for the future. |

| If only Scotland and Northern Ireland would decide to stay with the EU instead of staying with England, that's too bad if they don't.

I think it's way more the English themselves (with maybe Welsh as well? ) that give that kind of feeling rather than the "British" as a whole though. |

Exactly, a whole new industry of fishing (and fisheries protection) will start up soon now that the EU won't be able to thieve the UKs fish, they've said they want the fish before they even start talking about a deal. I'd walk away and say no deal unless we get a Canada/Japan one, a free trade deal with no payments. Then let the EU bureaucrats sweat, Germany sink into a recession when they lost their #1 car market. The countries will get onto the EU to sort out a deal. We should not pay for a deal that the EU gave to everyone else, that's just punishment. |

| Look at all this money you're not going to make because you aren't working with us. *Quotes imaginary number* Clearly, working with us is the ideal business strategy. |
| As a British person Brexit is not worth it- it never was. The only people who wanted to leave was old people who were fear mongered by the "threat of illegal immigrants", who where actually just alyssum seekers (which isnt illegal anyway...) We've always had a few negatives because we were in the EU but it was 100% outweighed by the benefits. Im fucking fed up. |

They are criminals because asylum seekers must take refuge in the first safe state, these people come through most of Europe to get here illegally. It's also about a lot more than that. |

| Why did UK decide to leave the EU. I don’t really care that they did I just don’t understand the logic behind it. They’re loosing money because of it and there is going to be problems figuring out what to do with the Irish border. Was there any logic in this decision? |

Doesn't this include a lot of african and caribbean countries? Maybe even India and Pakistan? Sooo...almost nothing changes in this aspect, if I am correct, sans less slavs? /lol it might risk fracturing parts of the UK mainly Scotland and Northern Ireland. especially scotland as the only reason it stayed in the UK was because of the benefits from the EU. Sometimes being a big coward does not pay of. Had Scotland had left in the referendum, at this point they would be in the middle of the process of re-entering it, and this time as a fully fledged sovereign nation. Now, they are exiting against their will, and there is no way in hell the anglos will allow for a legal referendum again for the next 3 decades at minimun, as they would lost clay easy. Also, hope they are prepared for IRA to resume their bombings. No more common border/free trade with Ireland=North Ireland irish patriots get big mad. Walles separatism? They also voted Brexit, but if things go real bad, not impossible... But I record some brits complaining about no english-only parliament, while his subjects of UK have one for each of them. Maybe, deep down, they just want to be good old England, all alone. |

| Is is fair for Scottish to vote down English only ideas they they can vote on English matter but the English cannot vote on Scottish matters? Is it fair Scots can have free university in both Scotland and England but English have to pay in both England and Scotland? That's clear discrimination. The jocks will never leave no matter what that windbag says, she should concentrate on her own country that is plummeting down the rankings under her control. I can see Ireland being reunited within 20 years as both Scotland and NI are a drain on England and Wales. |

| Hopefully they can stop the inflow of rapefugees. And they already said they aren't doing article 13. So far so good. |
