Re: Britain outside the EU

An enormous amount of water has passed under the bridge since yesterday. The EU has reversed its hasty and indeed unlawful decision to invoke Article 16(1) of the Protocol.

But what I wanted to say was that the vaccine incident has proved how right we are to be outside the EU. Commerce and economic output are dormant for now on both sides of the channel. So the economic argument for remaining in the EU is not currently applicable. Both sides have to pick up when this is all over - so Brexit happened at exactly the right time.

When/if the EU tries to rebuild its economy, how would we have fared within the EU?
We'd be paying in, but we wouldn't get back more than a fraction of that. Whereas no, we determine how we can fund our own development without worrying about/paying for Italy or Greece or Croatia, etc.

The Remainers have been remarkably quiet as the EU has exposed itself for the bungling institution that they are, well surpassing our own government in its incompetence.

It must be obvious to the Remainers that we now take the decisions and thank goodness for that.
