    You are displaying the very problems that have always existed for the British within the EU structure.
    We are fairly fastidious when it comes to following rules. If we don't like them then we will campaign against them, but if they ultimately get implemented then we tend to rather slavishly follow them for good or bad.
    The Germans, and more noticeably the French, simply pay lip service to those regulations they are not keen on. That is why the constraints of the EU have always been a bit of a bad fit for us.
    Now that we have taken the bold step to withdraw from these regulations I think we will find that a great many things are not only going to be possible, but can actually be actuated with a minimum of fuss.
    Are you suggesting we say we have passport controls on our borders but not bother to implement them in reality? Has anyone told the 17 million that was the plan all along?
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      Look, the coming economic problems will not affect people like me, but people like you.

      So there is some justice in the world.

        US has gone out of its way in this meeting to praise the EU and stress its importance to US.
        In other words, US resources will now be focused on the EU.
        JUnior diplomats can be diverted to the backwater that is the UK, soon to be Little Britain, when Scotland leaves, which is now inevitable.
        Why would we want to go? We don't want to be part of it.

        You do know that Liam Fox is meeting the top US trade negotiators directly next week don't you? We haven't invited the rest of the EU though. They are unimportant now.

        As an aside for srja (or whatever its name is), that's another one of those negotiations we're not allowed to do.

          You must win a medal for being the most boring and depressive troll on the site. Buck up young man!

            You mean the non-productive, tedious, unemployed like yourself?

              Did you hear that faint whooshing noise? That was the sound of another valid point going way over your head.

                Yeah, all looks really positive without the UK.

                  There is no punishment too harsh for Britain as long as the credibility of the remainers is upheld

                    You voted for it. Bear the consequences.
                    There's going to be a gravy train for some but not for you.
                    Prices are going to rise.
                    So is unemployment.
                    Meanwhile our debt to GDP ratio is going to grow to over 100%.
                    You sowed the wind, now reap the whirlwind.
