Sorry but in my opinion, leave must mean leave entirely or we will still be paying and taking EU citizens.


The one thing that we do have going in our favour for the Brexit, is the fact that we purchase so much from the EU. Stating the obvious; If we just walked away from the EU, or they said sod off, then it would have catastrophic results on their economies resulting in mass unemployment. For all of Junkers bluster and annoyance I think that we are in quite a strong position.

I think you are living in cloud cuckoo land.
If we want a free trade agreement then we will have to make concessions.
If we don't have a free trade agreement then yes, we will still be able to trade with Europe but there will be tariffs on both sides.
I used to import stretched limousines and parts from the USA. There was never a problem with trading but there was a 10% import tariff that I had to pay.

And all of them will quite happily sell their products to us as usual. The problem will be if there is no free trade agreement then it will be OUR government that will have to decide if we are going to charge a tariff. It is not the people who are selling the product that add the tariff.

We are in a good position.

They want it sorted as it's hurting their markets, but if they want to play silly buggers, then so be it.

We can buy stuff from the rest of the world.
