We can negotiate that

You are absolutely correct, trade is never free. Everything costs something. However, when you buy more than you sell, the "something" bit becomes a little more "negotiable" wouldn't you say?

There is no such thing as free trade.

G'night Thicko MacThickFace. You might figure things out when you sober up.

You're so funny I nearly burst a haemorrhoid.

FTSE 100 - BBC News

FTSE looking good.

BBC spokesman has said that this unprecedented plunge upwards will have a devastating effect for everybody in the UK.

Meanwhile in better news for the BBC a farmer in Shropshire has said that his hens have stopped laying as a result of Brexit and that we should have another referendum.

Combine the two, and we're in deficit. Google "UK-EU trade deficit" if you need any help with that. Google "google" if you need any help with googling. Google "googling" if you're still not getting it. Bugger it, just google "thomas the tank engine", which may seem a bit challenging now, but stick with it, you'll get there with help. We're all here to support you, don't be afraid to ask for help.

Had a few drinks and now quite the man, eh?
Except completely wrong, we are in surplus in services, deficit in goods.
Otherwise we wouldn't survive.
You know, when you struggled with hard concepts in school?
Nothing's changed.

"Services" count as exports, and we're still in deficit. Y'know, if you really want to "watch a cretin", as your name suggests, I would recommend a mirror.

Another thicko. What about services then, you know the industry the uk relies on?

Cuts both ways. We buy more (way more) than we sell. How long will it take for Merkel to force a favourable deal when we have stopped buying their cars in the pre-Brexit numbers?

Erm. Most leavers think it's about immigration so I assume the rest of the post is crap as well.

Wrong thicko. his post is about why the uk will suffer more than Europe. If you think otherwise please say why

[northernladuk]

You leavers just don't get it. You think everything is just about trade in goods.

So what is the big deal with simply trading on WTO terms? The rest of the World does, so why not the UK?

You leavers just don't get it. You think everything is just about trade in goods.

This should help in informing you why being in the single market is so important.

UK financial sector 'determined' to keep EU passport: representative By Reuters


Of course Gove would dismiss all this and tell us not to listen to the experts

[Mordac]

And which investor will want to invest in the UK under those circs?
Honestly you guys are thick as mince.
