Trade with the EU is the easy solution. Our customs regulations are already fairly aligned. Increasing trade with other large markets has proven less lucrative than we need. We (voters) need to question ourselves what do we want for our future? Do we want to be dependent or part of Trump's America or connect more with the far East with both cheap products and capital or do we want Sovereignty and to dig ourselves out of this rut by ourselves with lots of smaller trade deals? What are the real options? It is time to stop polticking about it and look at the facts. One obvious fact is that the EU was far better with us in it (as were we). There is a lot of investment capital in the EU that could help to build our economy into real growth and the demographics means EU business will need people. Another fact is our economy needs immediate growth. Our taxes are still relatively lower than the EU. We have advantages. I think it would work better if we revived our CU and SM membership, if that is possible. But we had to accept the democratic decision and try Brexit. We need to examine the evidence and decide if this is working. And stop insulting each other.

I think it found on Fleur De Lis Street E1. London. Glad to be helpful. Make sure that you wear black hoodie or something that looks really suspicious and do your dirty deed in the dead of night or the video cameras will pick you up. If that happens make sure you post which prison cell you land up in so we can all visit.

@MikeNovax @RupertLowe10 Well, we had freedom of movement and so many could just get on a train and go home. But instead we have entire clans landing for one employable person. Smart, we are not.

@sayerjigmi If Apple did their code right, then there would be no backdoor. You would need the user private key to unlock the encryption. Apple are generally very good at software. So I think this is probably a false rumour.

@TabulaRasa90 @RupertLowe10 It is a nation called England. Yes. And most people still speak English. Some not very well. BTW "mate" is derived from Middle Low German. Imported to English about 1400AD.

@Scheuerman47423 @RupertLowe10 English is widely spoken, but there are lots of places where it is not spoken. English people holiday there, too.

I have no problem with being English in France. I have seen English signs, but not everywhere. The advent of translator software in your phone helps you get by. But most cities will have many languages. Maybe not in North Korea. But I have not been there. Wars cause displacement of populations. Why is people having another language a problem?

Your culture is also the culture of others. There are many overlaps especially in Europe. What is British culture? I think it is both a rural culture, village life as well as a shared culture in cosmopolitan cities. I do not understand why the Tories needed to let in millions of immigrants any more than you do, but they are here now. In order to change this policy, talk to your MP. The Government could address this better now than before, for the next four years, at least.

@AdamJSchwarz Good to know what his priorities are. Why does he think this is important? I want to know about the economy. I have friends in Mauritius. He lost my vote, again (and again). I hope he deports himself.

@Blah_blahh_bl @Incogne199 @RupertLowe10 The world is far richer today than it was 50 or 100 years ago. But Governments since 2008 seem to address problem by borrowing but without economic growth. Wealth becomes concentrated and poverty becomes more widespread.

@PeterLA1000 @RupertLowe10 You think it is in Arabic? Really, that is not what others have told me. They said it was Bengali.

@mr_flobadobalob @RupertLowe10 Thank you for explaining the obvious. There are also multi lingual signs in other countries that are not in tourist areas or in English. This is just a sign. I do not see why it is so upsetting to anyone. But there is a complaints procedure. In English.

@sue_saxby @floboflo Most sensible answer I got today. Thank you. I am still trying to type a railway station into google maps...

Multilingual signs all over the world - that is usually for tourism. The railway station seems to be the actions of the Mayor according to replies I got - I must ask (as I no longer live in London) is this widespread? Having Bengali signage on LU stations? The English purist in my is not sure that you can "twist" a "fallacy". But I will keep practising.
