Originally posted by woohoo View PostI think the argument to leave is a sound one, though pointless going over it as the argument had been won. If you think eu won't trade with us then I think you are daft.
If they put tariffs on their goods then I'm sure someone else will sell it cheaper to us.
If they put barriers up on services then their loss, they either pay more or find another provider not as good as the UK.Warning unicorn meat may give you hallucinationsComment

Originally posted by motoukenin View PostI did not say the EU wont trade with us, and I am not predicting a trade armageddon like some remoaners, I just don't believe that post Brexit there is any evidence that by not being in the EU we will have more trade because of EU restrictions. Perfectly happy to be proved wrong if you can give an example of how pre and post Brexit trade would change to the UK advantage as a result of not having EU regulations, the only one we have had so far is Chlorinated Chicken from the USA and that in many peoples opinion seems to make the case a lot weaker.I'm alright JackComment

What it actually suggests is after years of living from a suitcase and eating hotel food every night in the UK, I had little desire to repeat the experience in a foreign land, although there may have been some novelty value for a while. I prefer to be close to home (or WFH) these days, which suits me just fine.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Which reminds me. I bumped into a friend in town the other day, and his Dad was visiting (Ireland). He is 75 and it is the first time he has left England. Guess whether he voted Remain or Leave.Comment

Interestingly Switzerland has handed more power over to the EU than the UK has, which is an omen as it is now clear that far from regaining control, the UK will be "pushed" into the EEA and will have less power than it had in the EU, swallowing new regulations whilst having no possibility to block them or opt out using its veto, which it frequently used, to "blackmail" the EU. The UK government is already talking about "piggy backing" onto the EU-Japan trade deal, which means the EU hammers out the deal and the UK swallows it hook line and sinker without any influence.Last edited by BlasterBates; 14 September 2017, 11:40.I'm alright JackComment
