The vile misrepresentation of the latest Wetherspoons beer mat is horrendous.

You can all pick your own holes in the childlike representation of the issues but if you care to read further then I've done so for you.

You gotta wonder how Tim Martin personally benefits.

1. £39B is what we owe due to previous British comittments to the EU like pensions.

Not paying is like ditching your flat before renewal, and leaving your flatmates in the lurch with the bills.

Good luck finding new flatmates.

Who would trust you not to do similar to them?

2. That's just adding up big numbers to make them look much bigger. By the same logic paying for our lousy Government costs £3400 for every man woman and child in the UK.

I know which gives us more benefit and return. Look at the EU in context below.

3. Of course that looks good but the trade isn't free.
You need to add back the tariffs we'll pay to export goods and services to the EU. When you do all that you find out we're better off with oranges and much worst on everything else.

About 8% of our whole economy for no deal.

A final bonus. Apparently we're leaving the EU because the people want it and dont like the bureaucrats.

Yet Wetherspoons wants you to join the WTO which noone voted for and which is run by unelected bureaucrats.

I wonder which of those James Martin is friends with.
