      WTO sees Brexit costing UK billions in trade tariffs: FT | Reuters

      ....and negotiate deals from scratch with 161 countries

      Good luck with that.




      Looking forward to watching the UK from a safe distance tackle that challenge

      I'm alright Jack

          And while we are negotiating, the Germans will have to either stop sending us millions of cars or get used to the £10,000 import tax per vehicle.

          A lot if this positioning seems to be self interest.

            After a Brexit the Germans will simply expand their British plants. However that won't compensate for the loss of jobs in the Japanese car plants that will relocate.

            The UK will be a massive loser after a Brexit.

            I'm alright Jack

              What a load of scaremongering tulip!

              There are standard WTO trading agreements which practically every country adheres to that prohibits most tariffs.

                    The enthusiasm might be as high as it is for dealing with Canada which is the 7th largest economy and which has taken about 7 years to do a deal with the EU.

                    So maybe because the UK is a bit bigger than Canada it might take only 5 years
