What were they ?.....

Freedom of movement for workers for a start; something that has been of unquestionable economic benefit and which moreover was the biggest stick we had in terms of forcing a split in the EU ranks.

The USA Canada , and Japan free trade deals with the EU - no freedom of movement.......

I don't know if you've ever noticed this Joey, but all of those places are at least a thousand miles away from the EU.

I agree that we have had economic benefit, and other benefit, from people entering the U.K., but we have always had the ability to let people in to do so, and indeed will continue to do so when we leave......

... which makes ruling it out as part of any deal pretty stupid, doesn't it?

 

[Anders_Limpar]

Yet everyone seems to acknowledge how bad it could be with no deal, or crashing over a cliff edge as it’s sometimes put.

Except you. You expilicty said that the concequences of no deal did not particularly worry you.

The implications of a no deal do not particularly worry me....

So which is it?

 

[Anders_Limpar]

we are sat on the WTO they do deals quickly not years like the EU.............

Fact check:

... about 6 years - according to WTO’s chief economist.

I see that no.10 have now said that there are no plans to use troops, that there will be food supplies and that the NHS will stockpile medicines as needed.

Pathetic panic mongering going on.....

Pathetic panic mongering going on.....

use troops, food supplies, stockpile medicine = panic mongering
not using troops, food supplies, stockpile medicine = not panic mongering

Sometimes you are a caricature of yourself, pete

They do not worry me in the least. Why should they. All that will happen is that we will trade with the EU under WTO rules and have additional customs checks in place....the first line you used was aimed at Remainers.....

 

[Number_25]

What I fail to understand is the sheer unwillingness of the ideologically driven Brexiteers to be honest about the both the economic and societal consequences of leaving without any sort of trade deal being agreed with our closest trade partners?

There is a Monty Python sketch of an aeroplane carrying passengers, with the two pilots bored to tears. All of a sudden John Cleese, one of the pilots, picks up the tannoy microphone and announces ‘Ladies and gentlemen, there is absolutely no cause to panic’ and puts down the microphone. We are being fed some of this at the moment.....

We will continue to trade with the EU while increasing other fta’s. We will benefit economically. What societal consequences are you thinking of ?.....
