A Brexiteer was invited on French TV to put the British point of view.
How embarassing watching Britain get represented by "Info Wars" style commentators all over the world.
He didn't debate, just spoke whenever he wanted without waiting. Sounded like an obnoxious bore and came out with unadulterated tripe.
I mean there is a debate to be had about Brexit, but I suppose when you are fundamentally wrong and your arguments are shot down in flames, shouting slogans is the only thing you can do.

He was quite proud of the trade deals with Zimbabwe and the Faroe Islands. He wasn't listening to the others who pointed out that they were worse than the ones the EU had. He also refused to listen to the fact that in the event of a no deal, the UK would face much higher tariffs than "fortress" EU. He also ignored fortress US run by his hero a "tariff man" who he cheered on when he jacked up tariffs on all his trading partners.
Incoherent contradictory slogans.

Do you think your comment n..>"but I suppose when you are fundamentally wrong..." is in any way a constructive debate about Brexit.
To me a debate would entail listening to both sides of the argument, keeping to facts (which is almost impossible in this case as beyond Brexit is a complete unknown) and putting your case as to why your point of view is valid. Not just stating that the opposite view to your own is wrong. This is where remainers have failed time and time again to get there point acorss. They are too focused on say why Brexit is bad and not saying playing up what they see as the positives of the EU. How our net financial contribution to the EU benefits the UK as a nation. How being part of the EURO zone and Schengen area would be of a benefit to the UK economy. If we are to remain in the EU I believe that both the EURO and Schengen should be adopted, i.e. we should join the club 100% or not at all. None of this being a member of the club but too scared to actually enter the club house.Last edited by Yorkie62; 29 March 2019, 07:46.Comment

I'll let the Brexiteers work it out for themselves.

Do you see where your going wrong yet in this so called debate?
If you are trying to convince me to change my mind about Brexit you are failing spectacularly.Comment

I have no self interest in trying to convince you. I simply comment on the reality of the situation.Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostFallen into true remainer mode I see. I'm right your wrong, not citation evidence required, end of debate.

When I say "Brexit will fail". I'm not trying to debate, I'm simply stating a fact.

That’s not true, it’s not a complete unknown, even in a No Deal situation.Originally posted by Yorkie62 View Postwhich is almost impossible in this case as beyond Brexit is a complete unknown)
There are available:
- rolled-over Trade agreements with Norway, Faroes, etc. We know from the text of these agreements that they haven’t actually been rolled over (Fox lied) and they are worse than the existing agreements through the EU.
- tariff schedules set out by the U.K. Analysis is available based on the tariffs and existing quantities of imports/exports to determine the impact on the U.K. overall.
- both the EU and the U.K. have issues substantive preparedness notices on what No Deal would entail by sector
Industry by industry, there is a lot of information out there. Fishing, for example - here’s a handy chart breaking down exactly what is required for the fishing industry after Brexit:
