well it looks like we have effectively been booted out as we are no longer invited to any meetings discussing EU matters Cameron has effectively been excluded so there is no reason not to invoke article 50 but I doubt there will be any politician brave enough to actually do it

If we now have no say but are still having to abide by their rules and pay through the nose have we any choice but to speed things up

We will do things at our own speed.

The EU are desperate for us to get things going, but their economies are in a bigger mess so us delaying matters will help our negotiating plans.

if they're excluding us - exclude paying them - see how that works

If they try to to screw us over trade terms on our exports it's only logical that we will do the same with Eu imports.

Which do you prefer, a free trade agreement which would involve taking EU migrants and also contributing to the EU? Or tariffs on goods but no EU migrants or payments?

Europe/EU exports 1,250,000 cars into the UK each year

our biggest manufacturer is JLR, Indian owned (India has no trade deal with the EU but is building a factory in the EU), so they cant refuse JLR products...

Nissan/Toyota/Honda have factories here, what EU car company has? Peugeot bought talbot and closed it

no, i thing they need the UK market

plus this free market of the EU is only 16% of the global market

I would have thought that as we are still members, paying our dues, then our lot should turn up for work as per normal. Why do we need an invite? It should be full entitlement until the day that we leave Or..........I DEMAND A BIGGER REBATE OF MEMBERSHIP FEES! That should make them sit up and take notice.

I'm quite happy to buy their german, french or Czech republic cars, I'm quite happy if they want to buy ours....what I was not happy about was being told what to do by the EUs unelected leaders, I've nowt against the Rank and file Europeans either provided they don't all want to move here enmasse.
