So when the UK's arm has been twisted to allow freedom of movement for EU citizens to get a trade deal, every other country will demand it too, and the UK will end up with mass migration * 10.

MPs react after Vote Leave economist admits Brexit would 'mostly eliminate manufacturing' - Chronicle Live
This is one of the suggestions that has been floating around for years like unilateral nuclear disarmament, a 10% flat tax or a guaranteed universal income for everyone.
Incidentally part of Patrick Minford's proposal includes freedom of movement extended to all countries to allow employers to recruit anyone they need.

No country would bother to negotiate a trade deal if the UK has unilaterally already removed all the tariffs, and incidentally Professor Minford has stated huge swathes of British industry would be laid to waste as they fail to compete with the cheap imports and battle against massive tariffs to sell goods abroad. He thinks the UK should become a services only economy. ...
They're not enough out of their box to think it through. Allow me. They remove import tariffs so get all the business then offer a value added service where all items are checked for quality and improved where necessary before exporting them.
So no longer 'made in Great Britain' but more 'handled by Great Britain'. Worked for Lotus when they offered 'handling by Lotus' to cars from their parent company, Proton. All they handled was the badge stuck on the car's rear end.
Then any export tariffs are offset by the perceived improvement in quality.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

However the UK is not Taiwan, it would mean huge numbers of companies going out of business which depend on the EU, building entirely new companies and slashing the public sector. This would be a rerun of Thatcher era, in which Minford was influential as her favourite economic advisor and all the misery that went along with it. That's not what Leave voters had in mind.
This Brexit vision from Minford has an air of "Moonraker" about it, i.e. destroy everything and rebuild a new Brexit Utopia.

Let them, tax them, and give the humans a citizens income so they only need to earn extra if they want all the bling.
