Shipping doesn't cost nearly that much money. Additionally shipping crossed the Atlantic (via boat or plane), is cheaper still due to all the commercial traffic that takes those routes.

This is a cash grab plain and simple.

This would be a massive price hike.

>>52998053
> lilely increase 15-20%

I wish. A start collecting box is £50 in the UK and $85 in the USA.

Due to the weakened pound $85 is about £65. That is a 30% price increase.This might be one of the largest prices hikes GW has ever done for people in the UK.

The pound falling just makes the sales they make abroad worth more. This is just a stealth price hike.

It is also very odd as prices in GW stores and the GW website will be different now & it will confuse many people as people expect websites to be in the correct currency for their area.

So, I don't see any sense in this. Well apart from raising prices.

It would have been extremely silly to not expect the EU to tell the UK to fuck off when trying to retain all the advantages while having none of the drawbacks, come on. I don't want to start a sterile political debate, but as of now, the EU is acting like every expert predicted it would. It's more like our politicians that are actually surprised that suddenly the EU can get its shit together.

EU should never have existed in the form it is now.

But that's perfectly fine, paying a membership to prop up other countries just for free trade that could be done without the political union that we have now is retard.

Guess their budget that helps with brainwashing people to be pro-EU is working.

But no worries, when German industry tells its politicians to shut the fuck up you'll see a change in their tone.

EU as a trade union is a fantastic idea.

EU as a cooperate attempt at dealing with international crime is great.

EU as a pseudo US is fucking retarded, and an idea that should never have been conceived in the first place.

t. Denmark

We even got kicked out of the international police partnership, because we didn't want to give the EU full authority to come in and make arrests, with 0 influenze or permissions from our country.

The EU is an abomination, and it is killing itself by acting like some evil organisation trying to take over the world. Like, we are hilariously close to being a carbon copy of some bad villain organisation from an old video game.

Watch as GB gets submerged the first chance the EU gets, to bomb them off the world map, because of "unwillingness to cooperate"
>>
>>52998750

At least in italy you pay around 5 euros more

>>52998810
I think that attitude is surprisingly common amongst the brits. I mean their stance is 90% advocating for trade and nothing else, which is maybe a little too far, but I guess we'll see.
>>
>>52998828
Yes, but if we stick to trade, then the EU cant force your military to dress up in evil uniforms, and March to an evil and ominous theme song, while invading the dirty Asian countries, while also suppressing "dissenting citizens"

>>52998810
If that happens then the US will probably come over to freedomize the shit out the EU and a good number of member nations would just up and leave the EU as a result.

>>52998792
Every business in every industry is happy to see its competition vanish, which will lead to a lucrative monopoly due to economies of scale, and all the benefits of a price fixing cartel. New competitors usually can't penetrate the market - if the barrier of entry isn't high enough already, the company in a monopoly position can just temporarily lower its products' prices until the small business goes bankrupt. The usual way to accomplish this is by simply buying every competitor, which is why antitrust legislation exists to prevent this natural outcome of capitalism and to promote competition.

The conspiracy is strong in this one. The EU can barely agree on simple stuff, at most they'll be happy if the UK's economy takes a hit, but it's just plain autism to think of the EU as some evil organisation. I'm pro European, and even I can see it's at most a bunch of politicians that want countried to get along and economies to flourish and ar worst puppets for companies to not get regulations into their businesses.

>>52998919
>I'm pro European, and even I can see it's at most a bunch of politicians that want countried to get along and economies to flourish
Well of course you'd see it like that, that's not really a surprising statement if you're pro-eu
>>
>>52998976
Except the exact same argument can be used against an anti-eu when it starts shouting on every roof that the EU is some kind of evil organisation ruling to dominate the world you silly.

Trust me, the EU is mostly harmless. The most "menacing" and actually harmful they've ever been was when they applied sanctions on Russia, and still it wasn't that much.

Hey, I am all for separatism.
Idiots can only be taught by beating the hell out of them. Just let all these "nations" leave EU, NATO and see how long their clay remains theirs.
There's far too many artificial nations in Europe at the moment and they exist solely because of these integration policies.
They have no armies to protect themselves, no economies to benefit the world. All they have is some irrelevant patch of land they are horribly mis-managing.

Well yea. It was always the dream of socialist France to cripple it's neighbors

>>52999011

Well, you may be all for 'idiots can only be taught by beating the hell out of them', but as a European citizen, and one who knows that the pre-1945 history of Europe goes something like 'Nations national interests collided. War ensued. The civilian populace was massacred. Thousands, if not millions died.' repeated ad infinitum, I think that the 'beating the hell out of the idiot' approach has been quite exhausted

The EU has been around in various forms for over half a century.

The first world war and second world war happened between 1914 and 1945, a period of 31 years.

No one can really say the EU prevented something from happening, because it never happened to be prevented, you know? So you look at the empirical evidence. How many wars have been fought between member states of the EU? 0.

Whatever, my original point wasnt about Brexit, it was about the EU and some Danish guy and a flawed perception of why the EU exists. I dont want to feed brexiteers belief that England is the center of the world, so I want to veer away from discussing brexit.

A statistic like that is worthless without a baseline for comparison.

Have switzerland, canada, australia, america, japan new zealand and norway fought any wars with each other or with EU members since the EU was founded?

Yep, welcome to the democratic peace theory. The EU promotes good governance, stability, economic growth and democracy.

Heres a couple of things for you to think about; when the Iberian countries emerged from fascism, which organization helped ease their transition into democracy and economic recovery?

When the central and european countries emerged from Soviet domination after the collapse of the Soviet union, which political organisation was it their overarching objective to join? Why did all these countries turn into stable democracies and not descend into violence?

I mean, come on, why, after Brexit, do you think that the Northern Irish peace process has suddenly become an issue after all but disappearing?

I'm leaving here because I have to work, and this is ridiculously off topic for /tg/ (sorry mods), but just think about it, do a little research.

The 50 billion number gets thrown around a lot in the British press, it was literally a spur-of-the-moment guess by Juncker as to what the cost of paying the commitments that Britain had already signed up for would be. As it turns out, he was more or less in the ballpark according to most people, so the number stuck around.

Brexiteers throw it around as a punishment tax, or a bill for leaving, but its literally just what Britain has already signed up for (and more than that, it was actually nothing more than a guess)

It was the number Michel Barnier (the EU chief Brexit negotiator) gave to all his diplomats and the leaders of the EU. You are misinformed, similar with the "you already agreed to pay", the 50 billion does not at all coincide with the figure in the 2017 budget, which has also already been paid, and the pension pot for British EU staff (we have 1023).

>>
>>52999343

But the ECSC was founded only a year after NATO...

And countries such as France wern't even NATO participants for a chunk of its history...

And NATO was an alliance specifically against the Soviet Union, in the event of a conflict between members, NATO is irrelevant. Look at the falklands war, for example, if NATO was such a guarantor of peace, all of its members should have responded to the Argentinian attack on British territory, right?

And the glaring example of the Cyprus war, where two NATO member states went to war, you'll just conveniently ignore?

NATO stopped the Soviet Union and prevented war against the Soviet Union. The European Union brought peace to Europe.

Well, yes, with free movement between Turkey, Greece and Cyprus, no border checks, little effective disruption to the life of everyday citizens, no concerns for the welfare of the Turkish minority under Cypriot law, theres a good chance that Turkey wouldnt have resorted to force.

Of course, its all 'what ifs', but the chances of Turkey invading Cyprus would have been significantly lower if Turkey, Greece and Cyprus were all EU members at the time.
>>
>>52999010
You can probably find one or two saying the "far right is rising, panic", you can't find anything to say they as a demographic are particularly concerned about this and if you conflate "far right" and "anti-EU" as you seem to be, then they are signficantly more likely to be for the "far right" than the average population.

>>52999407
Accession to the EU has a lot of political and economic requirements. Turkey was not and still is not ready for the EU, so that thought exercise isn't very meaningful. If Turkey ever did get in the EU, they'd be a whole different nation that would probably have a functional democracy and favor diplomacy over military action like every other country in the EU. Greece, for example, is not a military junta anymore like it was in the days of the Cypriote coup.

No it fucking wasn't.

It was very explicitly a trade union. Nothing more, nothing less.

Go back to 3rd grade, holy shit. I knew this shit back then, and my country (denmark) wasn't even part of the EU back then, God damn.

How it EVOLVED is the whole fucking problem, because half of the countries involved never fucking wanted that, and that is why we are beginning to see people leaving it. That's why it startes picking up countries like Greece, which for exactly 0 of the requires criterias, presumably to get some additional votes to help enforce its power on the smaller countries involved in the deal.

but yes you are spot on , i mean when it started it was literally called the European economic community

>>
>>52999538
But the thing is, the countries agreed to translate this or that regulation that the EU wants to enforce. Too many governments have turned the EU ito their scapegoat, claiming every success for themselves and putting every failure on the EU.
They have agreed to respect some fundamental values, yet act all high and mighty when the EU calls them out on their actions when they start opressing the opposition. See Hungary. The country is taking Turkey's path to totalitarism, and people bkame the EU when it tries to call Orban out on it.

Simply put, treaties were sign, thise treaties entails respecting some regulations. Respect them.

>greece got in because they blatantly lied about their economic situation i think
Literally everyone in economics knew this.

I worked in a local bank in an irrelevant EU country, and a quick glance in the general direction of Greece, in the other end of Europe, when they talked about adopting them, was immediately followed by laughter, because there was no fucking way they would be taken in with their disastrous economy.

We were bewildered whem they joined, ams watched in disbelief as we had to support the collapse of their economy.

Whoever was in charge of evaluation them, apparently jacked off instead of working. Because this was clear as fucking day, even from the second they even CONSIDERED bringing them in.

Wrong.

Treaties were signed, and then slowly changed over time, with subtle threats if you didn't sign the new ones.

Denmark has been called out for not participating in the european police partnership, and when we had to decide, they outright said "we will still have to overstep your borders if we feel it is necesarry, and that you might be hiding something of importance from us", so instead, we should give them the ability to freely control our entire police and military force. Yes, that sounds totally reasonable, and not at all malicious.

This is about as unsubtle as you get, and it was killed because of how utterly ridiculous it was.

Just like Spain didn't get the piece of clay they've wanted for hundreds of years, known also as Gibraltar, but instead a mutually beneficial agreement between the UK and Spain allows for the flow of goods and workers to easily cross the border every day, Turkey probably wouldn't have "gotten" North Cyprus, as in annexed it. If all Cypriots had the rights of free movement they have today due to the EU, and if Greece wasn't an authoritarian junta that organized a coup along ethnic lines in an attempt to annex the island, there'd hardly be any need to fight a war, would there?

NATO didn't stop that war because its only accession requirements were an anti-communist regime. It didn't actively try to encourage diplomatic solutions to disputes, it's solely a military bloc formed against the Soviet Union. It did nothing to end Greece and Turkey's long history of violence and ethnic disputes (see also the 1923 population exchange). The EU, on the other hand, made sworn enemies, like the French and the Germans, not want to murder each other. This was unimaginable in as late as the 1940's.

It was as the EU's own statistics agency saying "these figures Greece gave us are wrong" twice before going "well if we look at the figures with a methodology we used to use but have since rejected, we can get them to be under the level we want them to be". Greece wasn't exactly honest about their finances but there is literally zero chance that the governining bodies of the EU were hoodwinked rather than complicit in the deception.

1) The EU does not require a minimum level of defense spending. You might be thinking of the NATO.
2) NATO's agreed upon level of spending, 2% of GDP, will begin in 2024 according to the agreement, so the guideline will be relevant in seven years.

Ooooh yeah, my bad! NATO guidelines not EU.

EU doesn't have anything on defense, it's actually something they tried to establish but the UK stopped it ever time.
Nowadays a common defense budget is supported by pro-EU parties, especially in the EU parliament, like the ALDE group. Maybe the Brexit will allow this to happen. Common EU defense budget and policies would help cooperation between countried and give it more xeight on an international scale I reckon.

I voted leave. I'm a history graduate that specialised in European warfare. I'm firmly of the opinion that the EU doesn't prevent any wars, the threat of mutually assured destruction from nuclear warheads does.

Yes. The same point that every major european nation had the capability to wipe someone else off the map.

Not just that, they demanded the right to actively take control of our police forces, completely skipping any kind of governing instance.

They could theoretically just assume control of the police force, and completely remove the Danish government.

That is absolutely horrible if you like things like self determination and freedom and the like. Rome used to have an international legion occupy places they had not emotional connections to so they could put down the slightest dissent with ease.

"As long as it's unclear whether Britain will have unhindered access to the European single market after a 'hard Brexit', we have to reckon that investors will hold back in the UK," Matthias Wissmann said in an emailed statement.

"It could be that production sites in the new EU countries would then be more attractive," he said, adding that a "hard Brexit" could create uncertainty for between five and seven years.

However, Wissmann, a former transport minister and powerful lobbyist, emphasised that the VDA's priority was to keep the EU's 27 remaining members together.

"The UK is an important market for the German car industry, but the cohesion of the EU27 and with it the single market is more important for this industry," he said.

But it wouldn't be beneficial for Europe. That's the thing. Behind the doors, every country sees great opportunity in Brexit, possibility to get their hands on that sweet sweet City money.

It's also easy to understand why one is unlikely to try and give a good situation to the brits when they have been an absolute pain in the ass to deal with and wouldn't have had all those benefits without many drawbacks if not for their economic power. Why would you bend backwards for someone who's been nothing short of a cunt for 30 years when suddenly he decides to fuck off and realise that he might not get all the advantages he used to have?

Because the London Stock Exchange is a company, and EU laws would make it illegal for the London Stock Exchange to merge with it's German counterpart.

This was fairly modern news because the London Stock Exchange has already tried merging to create a "European stock exchange"

The "no" vote literally just took effect.

But here's the thing; if you go up to a sales guy, and immediately asks them to sell you their wares at a 80% discount, you get laughed out of the building, and you now have 0 chance of negotiating anything.

This is the same shit. If you come as a foreign entity, and expect to throw a completely preposterous proposal at someone, you won't get any kind of counter proposal, other than "go fuck yourself".

You can claim it was a first draft all you want, but the first draft assumed the recipient was completely fucking retarded. That's a terrible way to start off any negotiations. Hell, this is one of the main things that sparked the "maybe we should just follow the Brits." , Because holy shit, these EU guys are actually stupid as fuck.

>Economic recovery.

The economies of Southern Europe have seen no growth since they joined the Euro. Unemployment is rampant and youth unemployment is over 50%. Their industries stagnate and are uncompetetive and they can't control their currency, so they continue to suffer.

The EU's drive for integration at all costs without properly laying the foundations for a peaceful, democratic decision to unify into a single state has led to massive economic problems and a great rise in political radicalism.

I think the problem the EU tries to cover up is how the EU has actually ruined many economies.

Places like Italy, Spain and Portugal are teetering on the edge of economic implosion. It doesn't help that Italy's stock exchange is owned directly by the London Stock exchange.

Except the French industry is not nearly as adaptive or competitive to quickly replace it. In addition, if there are tariffs placed on British goods, there will be tariffs placed on German cars. Britain isn't the largest market, but it is a major market, accounting for roughly 10% of the German auto industry. That loss will cause a contraction.
>>
>>53000864
And what else is new?
>>
>>53000870
The guy blatantly does not understand how intertwined the British and German Automotive industries are.

Many British motor companies are owned or partly owned by German ones. Huge tariffs on British goods mean parts designed by the British Engineers within these companies get hit, and I think it's upwards to 60-70% of German cars contain British parts.

So the cost of manufacture of German produce goes up, because the EU wants to feel angry at Britain.
>>
>>53000829
I don't think it's the EU directly. But rather a consequence the global economy. The economic cris of 2008 has hit the EU pretry fucking hard, and the fact that the ECB doesn't act on its own but rather always a step behind the US federal bank make it so that we're always a step behind. In turn, countries like Italy see theit own debt go into panic mode and many companies get hit hard in turn because of how connected the economy is.

Mostly? The Brits 100%. The London Stock Exchange is not moving. Euronext isn't going to lose it's London component.

London Stock Exchange owns Milan Stock Exchange.

Euronext is Lisbon, Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels

Next biggest in Europe is Deutsche Beorse.

Now, fun fact. Deutsche Beorse was set to be merged Into the London Stock Exchange But the EU didn't want a Monopoly in the hands of Britain.

In short, the London Stock Exchange is held at bay entirely by the EU regulators.

The EU might not be able to regulate the London Stock Exchange when it leaves the EU.

TLDR

The eternal anglo is back and beadier than ever
>>
>>53001012
Pretty much. Almost every single business in Europe has money flow through the LCE eventually.

The Germans wanted the LCE to try and pull from London to Frankfurt, yet you can hardly argue as the smaller party.

The "Hard on the UK" stance Germany has is probably entirely because they thought they could push around the LCE during the merger.

>>52997996

>>
>>53001108
Well it depends really, Euronext could easily step up if they started in the German market, but the LSE is so big and half the reason why London is a big business hub anyway.

Monopoly's are always bad because they lead to stagnation, but the EU cracking down on the UK because Germany went sour on a deal that the EU itself broke up is contradictory.

>>
>>53000850
You are more than welcome then, buddy!
>>
>>53001251
Not that anon, but you can't deny the rise of the far right.
I'm taking the French election as an example. The FN has tried for years to lose the bazi image is had, and seems to have partly won in that regard, considering it is in the 2nd turn of the presidential elections.
However, as much as they want to give that image of a nice party, they are still undeniably far right. Their partisans, the hard core of their voters are still skinheads, neo-nazis, hardcore christian voters and generally racists.
I can't pronounce myself on other countries, but there is definitely a rise of a far right party here that, lo and behold, has a majority of voters in the poor and uneducated people.

What is the story regarding overseas trade embargo? When can we buy from the UK again here in Aus?
>>
>>53001304
This is largely because there's no alternative. If there was a classical liberal party that was eurosceptic, i'd vote for them, but there isn't, so it's Le Pen or more of the same.
>>
>>53001346
There is DLR, but they had to whore themselves out to the FN.
>>
>>53001304
I am far from being a far right voter, but this is because the left betrayed itself. Is the same story for Trump in the USA; a big number of people was left betrayed by globalisation. I am educated, I have a PhD and I can work in the whole West and beyond, so in a way I take advantage of the situation, but is not the same for everybody.
Many were left in the dust and even if is true that they should be mad at the elites, is not completely false that immigration has a role, because is used, not always legally, to lower wages to the point that the aboriginal working class is being displaced.
And when the left does not step in to fix that, the masses swing to right populism. History teaches us that.
>>
>>53001346
Different doesn't mean better. Especially when it means trying an economic program that is called out as one of the worst of the campaign and on which Marine Le Pen is already backing out. It's like the 350 millions of pounds every week to the NHS for Brexit.
>>
>>53001251
Well if the votes for those far-right parties are increasing, then surely it doesn't matter if all the voters or supporters are ((liberal)) or whatever, they're still supporting those parties.
>>
>>53001453
The whole idea of that thing was to show that we could take the money being paid towards the EU, of which we only got partially back from us (unlike the overwhemling majority of EU states) and spend it ourselves. Except that campaign managers don't think people could understand that and instead went for the simple emotive argument of MORE MONEY FOR NHS which is what 95% of politics in this country comes down to, it seems.

Personally I think the NHS is a huge blight on Britain politically. It's a sacred cow that people refuse to consider reforming and that every politician latches on resulting in shit like that bus.
>>
>>53001473
>I'm not racist BUT...
>>
>>53001473
But these parties are only gaining support because the EU keeps fucking up and no one wants to challenge it.
>>
>>53001453
>Different doesn't mean better
Doesn't matter to a lot of people. If you don't have a job anyway, or your neighbourhood is filling up with immigrants, its very easy to take a 'the only way is up' attitude and push for anyone who promises to change things
>>
>>53001500
But I don't understand how that comes from the original point of 'these parties aren't REALLY growing, theyre just growing because of more people voting for them'

A vote is a vote.
>>
>>53001494
But then we go back to that age old debate of how the UK gets money thanks to the EU, not directly (although it still does) but through th economic benefits of being in the EU.

I don't want to express myself on the NHS as i know top little about it but I know that I wish the state would stop reimbursing every single visit to the doc here in France for example.
Like fucking hell, with old people going thete as soon as they THINK they have something, it quickly racks up tremendously.
My grandma (who's admittedly pretty hyponcondriac on top of having some health issues) goes to 3 different doctors every fucking week. It's all rembursed by the Health service, sogood on her, but one can only imagine how much she costs in the end. And honestly, her visits are pretty much pointless. Add to that all the meds, the machines and whatnt that are reimbursed, and she probably cost 500-1000 euros a month to the state on reimbursements.
>>
>>53001517
Funny thing is that, the olace where the far right got the biggest amount of votes was in the countryside, where there's fuckall immigrants.

Hell, it was hilarious and sad at the same time when I discovered a friend and her bf voted far right because, according to them, they had enough of people profiting from the system when he doesn't even have his A levels, works at mcdonald and she's about to be mother at 20 without a diploma or a job.
>>
>>53001575
It's because they are baby-boomers.

We have the highest pensions in the world and a health system entirely designed to cater for them, it cost us over one third of our GDP every year but it's still not enough for them.
>>
>>53001575
The economic benefits of being in the EU include the EU paying companies to move manufacture outside of the UK and the EU.

Something I've always wondered is the proportion between manufacturing jobs and more commercial/banking/business kind of jobs for developped countries. Which of those 2 categories give the most money back to the state basically?
For example, in Germany, I would argue without a doubt that it is manufacturing jobs, but Germany is kind of an exception in the EU.

In the UK, I would argue that banking and its related trades make the most money and gives back to the state BY FAR.

Hence, in that situation, taking into account the fact that the population of developped countries are getting more and more educated and that robotisation is the cause of the destruction of many of tjose jobs, aren't manufacturing jobs bound to slowly be phased out of developped countries?

My point here is, is it not the logical outcome that non-educated, manufacturing jobs disappear from our countries whereas qualified jobs grow?

I might be wrong though! I'm definitely open to a more informed point of view, I'm just throwing ideas here.

The benefits of the single market outweigh the rich countries' contributions to the EU budget. For example, the UK's membership fee was about £13B in 2016 (after an instant £4B rebate from a total of £17B), and another $4B went to farmers and some poorer regions. The efficient European market created and estimated £40B-£60B.
The cost of keeping the EU running pales in comparison to the economic benefits. I can understand if you disagree with the EU's increasing integration, or free movement, neoliberalism, pacifism or something like that, but "let's use the money we give to the EU for something else" is a horribly misguided reason to be anti-EU. At its current level, the EU generates money for the large countries. It's pretty much like the funding of NASA in the US: every tax dollar gives at least seven dollars back.

"Far Right" is a meaningless dishonest term, because you aren't specifying what you're comparing it to.
