What regulations and taxes do you want to slash?

Concrete and specific examples in your answer please.

Please also define what you mean by "bloated state".

19,000 EU rules and regulations

25% of national income goes to social care. I just don’t want to be paying my fellow humans, the majority of which I cannot stand, 1 out of every 4 pounds I earn. In America it’s 12%. Which seems more reasonable?

Not a very specific answer regarding taxes or regulations. Crap reply.

Your NHS point and comparison with the US is just nonsense. There are 30 million people who don't have any medical care in the US and many more where the insurance based care is sub standard.

Ask any leaver which EU rules / regulations they can't wait to see the back of.

Guarantee within 3 minutes you'll hear the words banana, European Army and fish.

The bananas thing was made up and the fish is down to greedy fishermen and illegal and over fishing.

Anyway you're not being very specific. Another crap answer. You would be as well saying just have faith in Brexit everything will be fine.

Not too different to the labour party really
Only in that the Labour party have not had the chance to drag us back to the nineteen fifties, whereas this lot are taking us back to the eighteen nineties.

I will try and help. Once you are out from under the European Court you have the freedom to do things that they would have found illegal. In no particular order :-

TUPE - The only way to pay for the public services is to privatise whole swathes of lower paid jobs without the need to maintain their previous terms and conditions. The more you can get on the minimum wage the better.

Working hours - limiting working hours increases costs and therefore profits.

Redundancy pay - Will need to be reduced as the collapse of the car and other industries will cost the government huge sums of money.

Right to strike - Initially for transport, but later to be extended to other areas such as NHS, Education, Civil service etc.

Instant dismissal- Warning letters and notices are waste of time and money.

Employment tribunals- Waste of space.

Party funding- Go back to anonymous funding and bring in regulations to make it impossible for trade unions to fund parties.

Obviously this will generate a lot of protest so will be quickly followed by :-

Right of association- Bans on peaceful demonstrations and meetings above a limited size.

Internet censorship- If you can't stop people organising on line, shut it down.

Press and TV censorship- Neuter the BBC by forcing it to rely on advertising and take away the need for balanced reporting on screen.

Finally:-

Immigration- Withdraw from the international agreement on Political Asylum, increasingly draconian immigration policies leading to repatriation and the deportation of EU nationals as the repercussions of Brexit lead to anger against Britains living in the EU, the Costa Del Sol could well become the Costa Del Misery when we take the fishing rights back.

I hope this helps to point out some of the obvous benefits of Brexit.

Is that your reasoned argument or a stop-gap while you think of one?

It's your made up hysteria that's crap. Incidentally , I agree about forcing the BBC to start advertising , it's time to scrape the TV licence . Their so bloody bias towards Remain it's gone beyond laughable.

You've more or less only confirmed what I'm saying. When you are scratching around for something more to add you (you, as in remainers) have to resort to making things up about the past, foreigners etc. And also having to resort by saying how, 'I hate all things in existence'. All this because I have a different view to you. You sound like your living a life of fantasy. And rest assured mista, I love and enjoy life.
You've spent the entire thread insulting remain voters and then get defensive when responded to in kind.
Exaggerating and making things up again Mista. The remoaners word is a general term used these days - hardly 'insulting'. I think it's YOU that should take a look at yourself here. You've wound yourself up over nothing because I don't go along with your views. You need to chill out.

Remoaner is a pejorative designed to belittle the arguments, not only of those who wish to remain in the EU but also any who, while accepting the result of the vote, have the temerity to question the way it is being implimented.

It is clearly abusive.

"Abusive?" my a--e. If that's the case goodness knows how you would describe the majority of posts on here.
But, I think you're just having a bit of a laugh.

They are following Trump, never answer a criticism just abuse the person making it. "Crooked Hilary" was only the start of it. The posts on here clearly show this, when you cannot counter an argument resort to abuse, 75% of threads will end in ego driven bickering anyway. The press, the Sun in particular, is very keen on shortening and in various other ways altering peoples names, as if to say we are going to take away your right to have your own name by giving you another one. This is abusive. There are many people on here who suffer from this name phobia as if by not using a correct name it somehow makes them superior when it truth it comes across as the complete opposite.

I mean, listing peaceful demonstrations over a certain size and controlling the media. We’re not going to morph into communist China. By all means defend the Remain cause if you wish but please keep it real .

Just because China describes itself as communist doesn't mean to say it actually is.

On the other hand UKIP describes itself as a bigoted anti muslim proto fascist party which it is.
