Tariffs around the G20 are lower than they ever have been, and will not have a significant impact on trade regardless of whether we end up with the WTO option or not.

No, you’re missing the point. Being able to cut our own trade deals allows us to get ready for leaving properly. Think of it like someone who intends to divorce their horrible spouse salting away money in a secret bank account.

A country already has strictly limited movement of labour and full access to the single market, so there is precedent. See if you can find it.

It’s a folk tale, and people die in folk tales all the time. It’s a good story though, since it has so many ways to read it. I like to see it as a victory for dignity.

No, it wouldn’t. Switzerland and Norway cut their own free trade deals as EEA members, Norway as part of EFTA:

Smiths would do whatever they were asked to do - but since this was an AC Ace originally it would never have needed a 180mph speedo. I expect Shelby just went to the junkyard and found the gauge with the largest top number on it.

So you’ll be voting for Jeremy Corbyn in the upcoming leadership election I guess? You do know he voted leave, don’t you?

It’s so derivative - the side profile looks just like an Audi A7, the back end borrows quite a lot from a Jag XJ, and the front is generic enough to be off something from China.

I doubt we’ll do as badly as you fear, but even if we did you’ve missed the big bonus of that scenario - we would then be allowed to cut our own free trade deals with the rest of the world, trade deals that will involve the free trade of services as well as goods.

To me, that’s the most important thing for us to get.…

Waffling about a “significant democratic deficit” isn’t going to help you make a better case. Especially not with an unelected chamber of parliament and a head of government appointed by a hereditary monarch, and a government that can take office without parliamentary approval.

Facts, numpty, facts?

You hardly hit it on the head with that comment.

The EU have made such a play of Freedom of Movement being a fundamental pillar of the EU that they could never let us remain a member while not having Freedom of Movement. However, if we were some kind of associated country they could fudge it, which is probably what will happen.

No, even the remain campagain freely admitted there was a significant democratic deficit in the EU, and that it needed to be reformed. The thrust of the leave campaign was that the EU had no interest in reforming itself to become more democratic.

Quite. We’re probably the only country to have been called “perfidious” and taken it as a compliment.

Interestingly, rising bills would be a good thing. And here’s why.

Every major party in the UK, and most of the minor ones, have said that the referendum must be respected. You have one no-hoper leadership candidate for Labour and the now irrelevant Liberal Democrats saying that it should be re-run, which constitutes roughly 1% of the House of Commons. Re-running the referendum or…

There’s no victimisation about it. We didn’t like where the EU train was going, so we got off.

Quite well.

No, the other members of the EU have done no such thing - since June 24th. Calmer heads will prevail, and a deal will be done.
