Did we make a dogs Brexit of leaving Europe?

Finally our Prime Minister has had a Brexit victory! It’s taking the strain on the old gal. But it was only ever about the cash for the European Union and she has agreed to pay a minimum £38 billion, which is about three years of normal annual payments from the U.K. The U.K is just one of only five net contributors to the E.U (puts in more than it takes out) from its 25 members, France, Germany, Spain and Italy the others, subsidizing the rest. Spain and Italy actually borrow the money they pay in from the European Union bank! That’s how dysfunctional it all is. Germany, France, Italy and Spain now have to find that extra money the U.K won’t be paying from 2021 and onward. What has been happening is The EU expands with new countries so they can lend them billions in loans from its central E.U bank so to buy stuff off the bigger EU countries to boost their power and economies. Tiny Greece as the second biggest land army in Europe after buying arms off Germany with those loans! Look what happened to Greece. It’s a racket. The U.K voted out on June 2016 in the referendum, mainly on immigration. That aspect wasn’t enough to tip it over the 50% threshold and the victory more to do with the Remain voter’s phlegmatic attitude to the vote and not coming out in the numbers they needed to so to win the vote. All of the leavers came out with a passion and voted on a sunny day and a similar passion on why Trump got in. It was still a shock though and great to stick it up the establishment, the ones that will lose out here. They did not want to leave Europe and will still try to stop it. Did you know that 40% of the money the EU distributes goes to farming, and that 40% of the land that receives those subsidies is owned by just 400 Europeans, getting 90% of billions of Euros? Like said, it’s a racket. It will be OK when we leave and the E.U agreeing the surprisingly low total of cash to leave empowers our PM in negotiations. All Brexit voters, of course, are judged as ignorant racist by the lefty ‘remainers’ here and the news only shows working class people living up in the industrial north when they do a voxpox on the reasons on why people voted to leave. They never show the older white middle-class Brits on TV voxpox who voted 56% to leave. In fact the young social liberal grouping was the only one to emphatically vote Remain. The BBC have been accused of being bias in the vote to Remain – and after it- - but more to do with any on mic presenters or guests on shows not being brave enough (or dumb enough) to have their center right views on air and likely to be sidelined or sacked for being racist if they did, where as remainers were free to gently support remain on air as it was seen as not remotely racist, of course. That led to the bias. It didn’t work though. Don’t mess with the people when they vote with their hearts. That’s why governments should never let the people vote with their hearts. I voted leave, firstly to remove Tory Prime Minister David Cameron with a close vote, which it was and he did go, and secondly as it was last minute decision in the voting booth. I’m glad I did though and plenty of good reasons to leave. Dangerously high rents will come down now immigration has been slowed as the under supply of tenants for the oversupply of houses can only have that supply and demand effect, and more by-to-let landlords will then put more houses up for sale so young insecure families in rented accommodation can buy them. The fall of unlimited immigration will also see a rise in wages as fewer workers around so the bosses will have to put up wages to attract the workers, again supply and demand. Blair, the Bank of England and the CBI had decided to let as many workers in as possible in the last decade so to stop automation taking more and more British jobs by providing unlimited cheap labour instead to big business and so keep their profits high and the money pouring into those tax havens in the process. The minimum wage then allowed business to legally drag wages down to that level, whilst dragging far fewer wages to it. This is why productivity is so crap here. But the backlash came, the worker battled back, and now we are leaving Europe!

That rather depends on what concessions our government makes.

@lookatdesktop The biggest concern is that if our government makes too many concessions we will have Brexit in name only. I see no reason why Britain should have to ask other European countries for permission to leave.

I voted remain because I was influenced to support EU laws regarding the environment which I thought might be at risk in a Brexit world. I do think immigration is a problem but I didn't think voting for Brexit would change that given the dialogue I was hearing from MPs. Interesting facts you've presented - I wasn't aware of much of this.
