Thriller writer John Thompson's new novel, Judas, is out now #History#Spirituality Intrigue. Updates on readings, events +@thompsonauthors titbits #Carmarthen
@inv695 @eberlmat Far from it. Referred to #Galileo: major infrastructure development with civil, military & national applications, plus roles for #UK#science & #industry. I listed peace, power, research, freedoms, investment & ETC was in capitals. The huge economic gains are #tipoftheiceberg#EU
@inv695 @eberlmat Quite so -lose #Scotland& #Wales & #UK is lost in myriad ways. This fancy that #EU's in any trouble to justify madness is bizarre & against all facts. UK's not in #Euro nor has to pay. Agree Euro reform or dismantlement needed but irrelevant to power & benefits of bloc/membership
@inv695 @eberlmat Moreover, last 2 years have proved:
* Our leaders incompetent + unaware of #international trade
* We can't get better deal with EU27 than we HAVE
Meanwhile #brexiting itself costs billions. & let's not forget EVERYTHING we lose, eg world-beating progs & research #Galileo#poor
@inv695 @eberlmat We negotiate & benefit from excellent trade deals through the EU #Canada#Japan & are members of the world's biggest, richest trading bloc & #freetrade area, on our #doorstep. We won't do better alone & it'd take *years* to build *anything* #BrexitISLoss
@Cllr_Winter @davidgough_ Don't bet on it thanks to many billions we've spent on #brexit (to make us far poorer), price rises we've already seen, disappearance of non-UK EU workers our hospitality sector depends on & disaster of exiting free trade & modern world in 'best' or much poorer case scenarios xxx
@Change_Britain@inv695 Johnson, Hannan, Farage & others averred we'd #remain in the single market & oft invoked Norway model before #EUref. People change their minds, as the people of UK have who see their opportunities, pockets& futures so disastrously ruined by #brexit + no delivery of grand promises
