    Does Brexit mean we will stop exporting to the EU? Does it also mean we stop importing from the EU?

      Yes...

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Looks like May was a Leaver afterall. And Boris couldn't make his mind up.

          Hopefully not. Sensibly not. But we are up against the Commissions Socialist Federalist ideology and they give the signs that they care more about that ideology than EU jobs or exports. This was born out by Schultz in his speech when he stated that we won't be able to do deals with Heads of State and that the Commission would veto such deals if they were made. The fact that he even acknowledges such deals are in the offing suggests the Commission know how much of a pickle they are in.

            Also how many UK citizens do you think that problem affects?
            Can you list any of the civil liberties you have given up to a central European power?

              Not right now.

              And I don't want that list to grow either.

                Haven't had any Brexit stuff for a while so how's it going? As far as I can tell, UK ministers are still no clearer on what they want to do and still acting like ****wits...

                Boris Johnson: “So Boris Johnson wants to help Turkey join the EU – after he just campaigned for the UK to leave the EU on the basis that Turkey would be joining the EU in the near future.”

                Michael Fallon: “The UK defence minister says the UK government will block EU efforts to enhance its security capabilities, even though the UK is leaving the EU – yet they say they want an enhanced security relationship with the EU after Brexit.”

                Liam Fox: “Indicates the UK will leave the EU’s customs union because he thinks other markets are more important – while the prime minister tells us the EU27 ‘will sign’ an ambitious trade deal with the UK”.

                However, everything is tickety boo as 'Brexit is Brexit' except there hasn't been one yet...which is why everything is continuing as normal I see....

                  Read that too. @£$£wits as you say.

                  Brexit means Brexit. As I tell my daughters, Bedtime means Bedtimes. Means the same thing, nothing.

                      Me too, busy buying swathes of the UK while the pound is weak and its surely going to be worth much more after Brexit and the economy booms making me a tidy sum selling to the new Chinese, Russian and Indian overlords
