People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU
They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

It would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich through a single law in our entire history.

Trump is charging 10% tariffs on UK goods & 20% on EU goods.
It was estimated that 20% tariffs would cost UK 0.8% GDP.
So let's say today's tariffs will cost 0.4%.
So Brexit saved us 0.4% in US trade, but cost us 4% in EU trade.
Anyone calling Trump tariffs a "Brexit Success" CAN'T FUCKING COUNT!

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.
He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.
We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.
