Supporters see Brexit as an escape from a doomed Franco-German project that has stagnated while the United States and China surged ahead. Opponents say Brexit will weaken the West, further reduce Britain’s global clout, make people poorer and lessen its cosmopolitanism.

LOL, meanwhile, back at the ranch, citizens of the EU disguised as a door has had its knob shot off.

How can anyone write this stuff ^^^ when the evidence is staring at you. RCEP just negotiated without provisions for Labour exploitation, environmental standards or state subsidies.

The just signed investment deal, where China can now bring workers into the EU to complete projects. The whole deal has been done for the benefit of one company VW (the infamous asthma on wheels, on the nose everywhere except China).

Sad day.

Well, it is a Brexit of sort, although not perfect.

The EU bolsheviks and their media sycophants are worried this sets a precedent, so we see propaganda articles like this.

So many affluent Brits moving to the area of southern France where I am right now. And getting most of their money out. Even though the exchange rate is shocking.

I hope the UK doesn't collapse because of this but even the best case scenario I see is ten years of economic misery.

Great day for Britain and another defeat for fascist globalism.

The Europe of today is not that which had been envisaged during the days of the past. Control has effectively been handed to Germany, and it would not be unfair to say that the Defeated has suddenly become the Conqueror ! The Euro was the last straw in this sadly, badly designed puzzle, it had no consideration for independent thought - independent cultural needs, so the likes of the Southern European Nations favored less well to those in the North, and its expansionist nature of trying to pull in new nations basically just revealed the Ponzi scheme that it's become. The UK is right to pull out. It will be painful, but if managed properly , will allow successive UK Government(s) to make decisions upon their own, and be held accountable to those decisions - which is, Democracy, after all.

Exactly the EU-China Deal smacks against all the Human Rights virtues that the EU Supports. The UK singularly now, has the right to decide themselves upon any deals, and on their own terms, and not those dictated to by another 3rd party.

For those who disagree, think about this... I have the right to say that and not be imprisoned or have my Country Penalized for voicing such thoughts. Now take a look at the spat between China and Countries such as Australia, and think about what may be to come ahead for free-speech within Europe ?
