    Why the hell EU can't refuse a trade deal with the UK!!!
    Because as a sovereign nation it will be our standards and regulations we follow - not the EUs.

    That doesn't mean a dial down on quality, our products are world class.

        But a better question is, why on earth would they? That is in nobody's best interests, and when it all comes down to it, it is "mutual best interests" that will decide all of this.
        Because, cretin, they don't want anybody else to leave EU.

        So going medieval on the first brexiter makes strategic sense

              There isn't one. The EU is saying anything we export to them must meet their standards. It already does, in many cases it's far better. The problem comes if we tell the EU that the stuff they are trying to export to us has to meet our standards. Then the EU is in trouble. Because most of it doesn't.

                And the UK will be in trouble, because it won't be able to source the goods it needs. While the EU would be troubled, I suspect the impact may be less on the EU than on the UK.

                    Which goods would we have trouble sourcing? Anything the rest of the world couldn't supply?

                      As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood."
