Covid is not over

[_Stefan_Kuntz]

I too am a fervent Leaver and have had clashes on here with Remainers / Rejoiners. Since Leaving the UK has tried to get amicable understandings with the EU on various matters but the EU policy by its 'powers that be' is to make amicable agreements impossible even if such intransigence will result in a slightly negative affect on itself. This is all about creating a list of reasons to discourage other countries from Leaving the EU.

I foresee problems for the EU now that its second largest net provider of funds is out, the UK's trailing financial obligations are almost over. No EU member wants to pay funds into the EU budget, they all want to be net receivers of funds. The Covid situation has severely financially stressed the UK but it has had a much worse effect across the EU. The UK is strong enough to recover and is no longer being ripped off in terms of net payments into the EU budget.

It is a big world out there with opportunities aplenty now that the UK is no longer inhibited by being a member of the EU. We can actually trade with solvent entities.
