Once upon a time we had a dispute with Iceland over cod fisheries, it was quite nasty at times too. Perhaps that ought to render the opinions of their government invalid.

The sad demise of Grimsby and its ilk has far more to do with the EU than Iceland I'd wager.

It means they aren't the best to give advice on financial/economic matters. Doubtless their only interest in the UK is selling us back our own fish !

Care to explain how we own the fish from Icelandic waters?
Before you answer, read the full Wikipedia entry you referred to earlier instead of just "cherry picking" soundbites that suit your stance.

They are now defined internationally as 200 miles IIFC.
Remember when we sank an Argentine destroyer?

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
I'd say Iceland's in a lot better state financially than a great deal of the EU is so perhaps we should equally just ignore their arguments on the same basis. lol
I've seen some tenuous, partial, Brexit arguments around here but that is another new low.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
More mixed Brexit messages.
Quote:
British economy slows sharply as inflation hits home
Britain's economy slowed sharply in the first three months of 2017 as households and high streets felt the pinch from higher inflation, which has risen sharply since last year's Brexit vote.
With the country heading for an election on June 8, there were other signs on Friday of a slowdown as house prices fell for a second month and a measure of consumer confidence dipped.
The Office for National Statistics said growth in the overall economy weakened to a one-year low of 0.3 percent in the three months to March from 0.7 percent in late 2016.
That represented a bigger slowdown in the rate of quarterly gross domestic product growth than the drop to 0.4 percent economists had forecast in a Reuters poll.

The BBC reports that undeterred Asian investors are increasingly investing in UK property. But the figures are from 2016 so this is probably a bit early to start drawing conclusions.
Quote:
Brexit not deterring Asian investors from UK property market
Research from property investment firm JLL indicates that Asian investors accounted for 28% of the transactions in the UK property market in 2016, up from the 17% the year before.
London in particular continues to be a strong attraction, especially for Asian families who have long had a link to the city.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
There's now talk of a French referendum. If France decide to leave, this could trigger Germany to do so, which could mean the end of the EU.
If this were to be the case, all our concerns about a hard/soft Brecht become irrelevant and we'll have paid them a divorce settlement for nothing.
If we take it slowly, we may be able to gauge what's happening in other EU countries before making a decision upon what we should do to benefit ourselves.

how refreshing to hear some one suggest that we don't transfer the contents of our bank account into the EU

I think if France left then that would be the end of the EU. But I'm not sure that even if Le Pen got in the country would vote leave.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Anti EU feeling is not just in the UK it has been growing throughout western europe for the last decade and I wouldn't be so certain of the french choosing to stay in if they got a referendum. Germany too has a large minority that's also growing that want out of the EU although I don't believe they are remotely close to having enough votes for leave.
