Also,can you put up the rest of the EU countries individual or collective "INCAPACITY BENEFIT" numbers so we can see how they compare with those of the UK.

Thanks Bear,in anticipation.

Here's a starter

The UK is one of 27 countries that make up the European Union which we entered for Common Market Trading.

Here are the Trade figures up to April 2007.

Austria,has zero trade with the UK.
Bulgaria,has zero trade with the UK.
Estonia,has zero trade with the UK.
Slovakia,has zero trade with the UK.
Slovinia,has zero trade with the UK.

Czech Rep,EXPORTS to the UK,yet it does not BUY from the UK.
Greece,EXPORTS to the UK,yet it does not BUY from the UK.
Hungary,EXPORTS to the UK,yet it does not BUY from the UK.
Italy,EXPORTS to the UK,yet it does not BUY from the UK.
Latvia,EXPORTS to the UK,yet it does not BUY from the UK.
Lithuania,EXPORTS to the UK,yet it does not BUY from the UK.
Poland,EXPORTS to the UK,yet it does not BUY from the UK.
Portugal,EXPORTS to the UK,yet it does not BUY from the UK.
Romania,EXPORTS to the UK,yet it does not BUY from the UK.

Of the 26 countries in the EU,only 12 of them BUY from the UK with 14 of them not BUYING from the UK.

That ridiculous Trade deal coupled with our massive daily cash payments to the EU shows clearly that we should be out of it because we are definately the very lifeblood that is feeding the monster that is now ready to gobble up the last few crumbs we have left.

No wonder EU fanatics abound on here like bear and a few others.

Are you saying none of these countries buy anything from the UK. Absolutely nothing?

If you look at the link I showed and go through them,you will see clearly that those countries are not Trading Partners of the UK.

BonnieDundee · 20-04-2008, 11:48 AM

I find it hard to believe that not a single good is bought by those countries.

Hartlepool · 20-04-2008, 03:19 PM

Of course you do bunnie,nobody really expected you to agree,or even go trolling for info on EU/UK Trade Partners ans statistics,you just came here to waste our time and diss most things other posters put up.

Touchy, touchy Gertrude. You do seem to have a persecution complex, kind of strange for someone who hasn't developed facial hair yet.

No mention made of the "invisibles" I note. Or the benefits our added value activities gain by imports from low cost sources that improves the bottom line on exports back into the European markets.

Once again partial data being used to create information that is consequently fatally flawed and worse yet creates a misleading picture.
