So those Rustbelt states - how are they measuring up given theyre being protected from real competition
Afaik you can work in what ever state you wish with a green card ?
And why are the US EU and nearly everywhere else doing better than UK presently

Not so sure that they are in real terms.... it's just financial market hype/manipulation of currency values which is basically racketeering... only have to look at the value of the Croatian Kuna against the Euro or Pound to see that.... it should be more like 20/30 to one than 7.5 / 8.5 respectively because they make and trade next to sweet fa here... few guns and tourism, other biggest industry is state administration which generates nothing and the pension bill here is huge... then factor in state corruption and the massive black economy due to ridiculous taxes and admin / red tape charges and they're basically bankrupt.

trump might be a d1ck but he has the right idea about big corp's tax them less but make them pay more in wages, several have allready increased thier min wage to 15dollars per hour on the back of his promise to do so, look it up if you don't believe me. all goverments should grow a pair and do the same, therefore stopping economic migration and massive problems to infastructues that tax payers have to cover

Perhaps the biggest cause for concern this country has is less to do with Europe and more to do with the attitudes being displayed in this thread.

Imagine working in the EU Parliment with Farage. If I was working there I’d encourage Brexit to get his attitude out of the room.

Doesn't make him wrong, even if it is callous (which I disagree with). It's no coincidence that the voting demographic of Leave was older, and that current POTUS, who isolationsist, is also an old man. They are out of touch with how the world is going, they are dinosaurs, the sooner their ideas from days of yore are gone, the better.

Wow, a euroscpetic giving his professional opinion as to why we’d be better off outside the EU... Who’d have thought it. What makes that any more noteworthy than the pro EU experts who’s professional opinions we were told were worthless “because project fear”?
As for no more vested interests running the country, you can’t really be that naive surely. You’re always going to get that where ever we’re governed from.

the difference is the pro eu experts are merely expressing opinions he and the university did proper research and proved their point watch the whole thing from about 15 mins onward he explains how the eu costs us 20% on everything we buy from them, the eu protects the countries from the wto prices which are more competetive, watch the tate n lyle documentury on how much more sugar beet costs from the eu if you don't believe things are more expencive from the eu vs wto

well if they devalue the pound it will make our exports cheeper making us more competetive as a country which should cancel out any trade taxs

When inflation rises faster than wages people get poorer.

There scenarios that businesses that I know are working with are that people will inevitably have less money in their pockets. That's not an extreme forecast, that's the broad consensus.

You say this is 'proof', I think you need to set the bar a bit higher when using that word. It certainly is not proof (how could it be?). You should probably also dig a bit deeper a find out what a whole bunch of other economists think of this groups research and methodology.
As Ive already said, Minfords research paints a picture that is completely opposite to what UK businesses are gearing up for.
