Yeah let’s wait and see what huge benefits the loss of frictionless trade brings. It’s anyones guess what’ll happen there like. I mean it’s not like putting up barriers to trade reduces trade or anything......
Then there’s all those markets somewhere that we’ve never traded with, ever. They’ll save the day, just wait and see.

We were always going to get an initial downturn financially and economically. And yes I did say this from the start if you want to check my early posts in this thread. But, whoever is compiling the figures, forecasts are exactly that. Financial forecasts in particular are very rarely accurate, indeed they are often very inaccurate. So I'd still rather wait and see.
As regards your previous post and the antics of Johnson and Co, what can I say, it's embarrassing, he's embarrassing and joke of a Prime Minister. But then again I never voted for him. I do wish he'd just shut up though.
I'm still not sure Johnson, nor those championing him for such a remarkable feat in achieving a deal, have any detailed comprehension of the deal they are declaring a great triumph.
He can sell his eels to New Zealand, even send them over in the boxes the lettuces came here in, if these British so called businesses can't grasp these opportunities they deserve to go to the wall.
Today is the latest installment of a continuing travesty of our democratic process. It started with May's attempt to ram through some form of Brexit without any parliamentary oversight - as defeated by Gina Miller - and only went downhill from there. At every turn the Tories have tried to hide what they're doing from scrutiny, knowing full well that nothing that was being discussed could in any way be considered a 'win' for Britain. And when they couldn't hide the substance, they flat out lied to the various factions whose support they needed. Or shut down parliament altogether via lies to the Queen. Anybody viewing the last 4 years as a win for our democracy, seeing responsible governance cast aside to chase the implementation of a single advisory vote, needs to only be allowed near the crayons and safety scissors for the rest of their days.
Joey, Pete, whoever that new weirdo is: You might have taken a big step towards the racist dystopia you voted to usher in, but you've broken so much to do it that the damage will be felt for a generation at least.
Pretty clear that what we're getting now is the same thing that Johnson would have signed off on the first day of February, but had no interest in allowing parliamentary scrutiny over it and allowing it to drag on across the year like everything May took to the house. So instead he filled the year with unreasonable demands and even spent months backsliding over the WA, just so that he could fart out the same thing he had offered at the start of the year, but giving MPs just a week (including their Christmas) to sign off on it. Letting them know that they can either attach their name to his deal or no deal. And then take the blame for either.

Yes. I saw your earlier post and I wasn't referring to you specifically when I said "a lot of you"
- He knew what he was voting for (we all knew what we were voting for!)
- He knew he was voting for short term economic damage.
- He was doing it so his grandkids could prosper.
- It's a price worth paying to regain our sovereignty.
- He can trade his eels outside of the EU to new and emerging eel markets.
- He wanted less red tape
How could he not know that brexit might knacker his business lol

Not at all. Everyone on here was behaving as though his business has already failed. It hasn't. He fears that it may fail if he loses too much custom due to trade barriers/red tape. But it might not and nowhere is he stating that it definitely will. So I'm not saying I know his business better than he does.
I was just pointing out, for the benefit of those on here who are all assuming his business is already doomed, that it may or may not be. I gave plausible reasons why it may not fail and I'm 100% sure that the business owner is already fully aware of these possibilities.
The narrative that the UK obtaining future trade deals with other countries around the world being abject nonsense is` an opinion, one that I don't agree with.

Welcome back Wayne
I don’t believe anyone in here voted for some ‘racist dystopia’ and I do wish you and other remain voters would cease peddling the same line, but I doubt you even care....
I suspect he bought into the belief that new markets would mitigate the loss of the EU market and that we would maintain completely frictionless trade.
