Britain’s exit from the EU

As negotiations for Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU) are drawing towards a conclusion, we hope that the powers that be, Mrs May and her colleagues, will steer us through the troubled waters and strike a favourable final deal for Britain. 

When the scaremongers are advocating for a second referendum, we need to pause and  consider all the pros and cons of leaving the EU before it is too late. As has been predicted, rightly or wrongly, would we suffer a famine like situation with a shortage of food and medicines? Why do we want to separate ourselves from a huge economic bloc and go alone? Is the price to remain too much to pay? 

Would all our contributions towards the running of the EU since 1974 go down the drain? If we do have to leave the EU without making provisions for our future economic well being, should we not ask for refunds of all the monies that we have paid to-date? 

Without getting into the intricacies of the process and the exact amounts involved, as laymen, we want to see if our negotiators can clawback the vast amounts of funds we were made to contribute towards the running of the EU or towards subsidising other member countries. 

Whatever happens, a period of uncertainty will no doubt follow until every thing is cut and dried and Britain settles down to go all alone in a life without the EU partners
