Still , at least we'll have missed those 81m Turks landing on our doorsteps

Mr Fuji

We already sell to the rest of the world, 46% of our trade is with the EU, so you obviously being some sort of economic expert have a cunning plan to mitigate the huge loss to the economy by not trading with the EU, whilst trying to make up that shortfall with countries we already trade with

It really does beggar belief the total lack of understanding of how we trade now, why we cannot suddenly stop trading with the EU. It's almost as if...........

Free trade does work both ways, you are correct, and so does WTO, so either way, we are equal in what comes after Brexit. However, 17% of their trade vs 46% of ours, I'm sure you can see the problem.

mrtheedge2u2

He cant see the problem as he is a big of a stupid d1ck as Alcazar is.

If you read what I put I didn't say we should stop trading with them, I was hinting at them being ***** and starting a tariff war. Hasn't gone well between the US and China and so the EU thinking they can price us out with tariffs won't work. As for the insults that's fine i'll leave it here as that's all remoaners seem capable of and i'm not interested in debating with those who think they are above everyone else when they don't even read what's been put properly and then throw insults.

An0n0m0us

Oh look my point exactly. And you're a cvnt See doesn't get the debate far does it?

The answer is we leave fully on the 29 March and use WTO. The irish border is a non issue so trading with WTO. The EU are terrified of losing a regular large sum from the UK and more importantly a huge world economy sat on their doorstep and having absolutely no financial or political control over what it does in the future. Companies will want to continue trading with the UK and vice versa. 13% of UK exports are with the EU, overall trading in percentage with the EU has been in decline for over a decade and dropped by over 10%. If we get to WTO, a lot of these so called issues will fizzle away in a few months and life will continue tomorrow as it did yesterday for the vast majority of us.

Just curious, but in the extensive research you've clearly been doing on this subject, have you come across any discussion anywhere with regards to the point that the bigger issue with trade is compliance with product safety regulations and the like, and not tariffs at all?

JackClark

This is quite a fair appraisal, puts a few myths to bed as well.

Mr Fuji

Really? How about or Yes, a tariff war has not gone well, but both sides are losing out. With two equal economies, they can slug it out. We might be a big single economy, but we are not compared to the EU as a whole. Our economy is about $3.3 trillion, the EU is about $18.5 trillion (second only to the US), who do you think is going to come out on top in that?

You haven't actually answered any of the problems posed, you just come back with the fact that the EU are bullies (because they don't give you exactly what you, but a moment's thought will demonstrate.....), you think any outcome is worth it as long as you end freedom of movement (despite if being good for the economy, so I can only take a guess at why that would be) or 'ruled by Brussels', despite the fact that the UK has MEPs, elected by us, the European Commission is wholly made up of people appointed by governments we voted for, we have the power of veto and we are involved in the law making process. OK, I get that some people don't like the primacy of EU law over UK law, but point out all the laws that have had a detriment to your life that the EU has passed, and why they are bad for the country.

You contradict yourself, accuse people of accusing you of saying things you did't when you did, then cry about it and flounce off.

As you say, you do have a right to your opinions, but when you say stuff that is wrong, people are gonna call you out over it.

That's not an answer though is it; it's a finger in the air hoping 'these so called issues will fizzle away in a few months'. I guess if you have a few million in cash and assets you are assured your way of life won't be adversely affected...the vast majority do not have such a robust safteynet.

A small number of people may violently protest if we don't honour the referendum!

A large number of people will violently protest if the country turns to **** with a no-deal and massive job losses and they feel lied to!

But we're not in the Eurozone. His advice to UK regarding the referendum was to vote remain, in order to be able to join other countries in reforming from within. Refreshing to see a link from you from a left wing economist rather than Katy Hopkins though. At least he knows his subject.
