Why are they doing that, coffee?

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

do you have any control over what you say, coffee? Do or do we not have something called the Bank of England, which Gordon Brown, in his first act as Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1997 (over 20 years ago) made independent of government. Britain is not in the eurozone and has control over its monetary policy. Please, please read a book about economics, or anything, rather than spouting this silly stuff

The survey didn't seem to have asked that question, so we don't know. All it seems to say is:
According to the survey of more than 1,000 small and medium sized businesses, one in four SMEs is looking to export to a new country in the next quarter. Up slightly on Q1 2017, the figures demonstrate how UK businesses have started to come to terms with the ongoing Brexit uncertainty and develop new trading partners beyond the European Union.

And I answered you. We are not told their reason, so we do not know their reason. All we're given is a hint about 'Brexit uncertainty', but that appears to be supposition. And it can't be right, can it? Businesses have all been promised the certainty they need, remember?

No, I have no recollection of that, but leaving that aside, as it was not in the article being discussed, what do you think the reason is? If you were a businessman, would you do the same thing, and if so (or if not) why?

Ah! You want me to speculate (for some bizarre reason)?!

So, in the light of that, what do you think the reason is? If you were a businessman, would you do the same thing, and if so (or if not) why?
What are the possibilities here? That business is booming that they now have the additional resources to find new markets outside the EU so they can expand even more? Or that they've been encouraged by the disgraced former defence secretary, Liam Fox into taking bold new steps into the world market that's waiting and eager to be tapped? Or - as the article might be hinting at - looking for ways of offsetting the current uncertainty surrounding Brexit, maybe just in case it all goes a teensy bit awry? Are there any others?

Nope. Can't see it at all. :shrug: Care to repeat?

Not bizarre at all. If we didn't speculate at all, we wouldn't have developed economic theory, would we? So, yes, I want you to consider what their reason might be. (Which you have just told me you have already done. Huh? :puzzled: )
So, in the light of that, what do you think the reason is? If you were a businessman, would you do the same thing, and if so (or if not) why?

True, profits are up substantially, in spite of Project Fear.
Or that they've been encouraged by the disgraced former defence secretary, Liam Fox into taking bold new steps into the world market that's waiting and eager to be tapped?
So what is so terrible about that?
Or - as the article might be hinting at - looking for ways of offsetting the current uncertainty surrounding Brexit, maybe just in case it all goes a teensy bit awry?
And why might that be?
Are there any others?
Yes. Really important ones. Why should the EU want to go against 200 years of economics since Ricardo? Why would they want to disadvantage their own people? Why are they more concerned with the rules, which have been so disastrous for so many millions of their people, than for the effect of those rules?

BREXIT ULTIMATUM: Finally freedom from EU... but only after UK is tied to bloc FOR YEARS

BRITAIN has been handed a Brexit ultimatum which could see the nation tied to a customs union trade plan for years, with the promise of a clean break from the EU after the lengthy period.
