Leaving the EU without a deal will be a disaster for thousands of UK businesses. It will also be a disaster for the government of the day as they see their tax receipts reduced and costs increased dramatically.
I however will see the profitability of my company increase. No deal means no EU VAT treaty and the vast sums my EU based company pays to the UK HMRC will cease.
So leaving the EU in the manner the Brexit nutters want will make me rich yet bankrupt the country.
It will also see the company formation agents in Dublin, Amsterdam, Cyprus, Luxembourg, etc rushed off their feet. A fucking boom town as every company currently selling non tangible goods to UK end users simply relocates their operations with a few clicks of the mouse.
So yes I think the EU has delivered 70 years of peace, stability, rising living standards, improved healthcare, all of the workplace entitlements and benefits we now enjoy, limits to the working week from the working time directive, rights for women in the workplace, and lots of other basic fundamental rights that you dismiss in the populist rants of the likes of Farage. The EU did more to help and fund the rebuilding of Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle etc etc after Thatcher and the Tories washed their hands of the North post miners strike.
This does not mean I love the EU or think it is perfect, I just have a grown up view of the world. Farage et al will have you believe that the UK is about to embark on a new industrial revolution. Bring back the empire ffs. When the reality is Brexit will completely fuck up the country, and the poor suckers from the working class areas will suffer the worst. Its like red necks voting for MAGA and thinking the Billionaire Orange baboon is on their side.
You could not make it up.
