I find it strange that people on here who are always calling the other side unthinking cretins etc. never actually respond when anyone from the other side posts something that is a logical argument or a fact.
DA's post above, for example, on how small many trade tariffs can actually be compared to currency fluctuations. If we do not negotiate a deal with them, the US tariffs on British cars, for example, will only be 2.5%
Anyone capable of responding to facts on CUK? Hello?bloggoth

It's a dire state of affairs.
But then look at the US, they've elected two candidates each as scary as the other. Democracy has clearly failed us on some level."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

3. And you may think the working time directive is a good thing but the point is that it was not the Uks decision to create it.

What's coming in the not so distance future are extra tariffs on products created in countries with unfair not level playing field with EU - like lack of pension system in country, or 12 hour shifts, lack of safety etc: all that should and will be penalized with higher import tariffs.
Post Brexit UK will be on the receiving end of that - them children digging coal, if you know what I mean.Comment
