    I think the idea is to not give anyone a vote as they know what would happen.

    I think we will have individual trade deals with EU countries.

          And why is that? Because the current EU 'rules' say we can't?

          I wonder how long that will last for.

            Plastics: $11.8 billion (2.6%)

            Aircraft and spacecraft were the fastest-growing among the top 10 export categories, up 18.2% for the 5-year period starting in 2011.

            In second place for improving export sales vehicles which were up 10.2% led by cars and work trucks.

            UK pharmaceuticals posted the third-fastest gain in value at 8.4%.

            Bearing in mind that is the top 10 of the 21.5% of exports that is goods, so:

            Machines, engines, pumps: US$63.9 billion (13.9% of total goods exports or 3% of total exports)

              Because the EU rules say that those individual EU member states can't, just like Wales can't strike their own trade agreements with other countries.

                I say again. The EU rules say no negotiation before article 50 but that's been broken.

                If Wales wanted to negotiate independently they would try. It's what Scotland is attempting!

                  From the article:
                  "... leading Brexit economist Patrick Minford was close to the mark when he said before the vote that he expected manufacturing and agriculture to disappear once we left the EU."

                  And he thought that was OK?

                  Well we could harvest the organs of whining, sour losers like yourself and market those, there's a desperate need for them. I'm sure even the EU would cut a deal if it shut the likes of you up.

                  I would have suggested the same for the Scots who bleated incessantly over their referendum, but the Buckfast, "Export" lager and deep fried diet would render many almost as useless as their current owners.

                    After some of the crap I've had to wade through from you recently, I wouldn't rely on you being able to sell your brain to medical science if I were you. They'll almost certainly ask for a refund...
                    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                      In what way has it been broken? You have written it several times over but never explained what you mean.

                      Scotland has not attempted to negotiate. They have merely scouted their options for EU membership in the case they would decide to split from the UK and become an independent nation.
