    Anger management classes can be useful if you don't have self control.

    He's a hideous ****.

    Albeit stiffing Boris after standing side by side with him for months, was extremely funny.

    Yes, in the context that you were proposing where we buy nothing from the EU and get it all from the rest of the world, that would be a hugely convoluted process.

    @pieguts @Fez if you're still around do you know enough to answer this? One of the 4 conditions of the Common Market is freedom of movement. The question is do we want to be in the common market? I remember Boris and Gove saying it was still possible? Is it?... and is it worth the hassle? (that's an important factor because I don't know if it is worth it). If it's not what we want or is not important, then freedom of movement is not an issue as we can decide that and look at trade through other routes. But if we do want to join it, then that depends on whether the EU bods are willing to put aside the strict conditions and waive that one condition for us. From what they said last Thursday their position atm sounds unanimous that they won't. Which route in particular will the next government/PM take?

    Indeed, but more credible than an ambassador of a leaving president (who the yanks hate)

    I never said we couldn't buy anything from the EU. If the EU don't want to sell to us then obviously we would have to buy from elsewhere. I dont see anything wrong with buying and selling with the EU. I don't see why freedom of movement has to come into it.

    It will become credible if Trump becomes President, until then it's as meaningful as the petition for a second referendum.

    Of course if Trump becomes President then trade deals will be a minor thing for any of us to worry about.

    According to the employer that I was listening to in the interview on Radio 4, he said that all of their jobs were offered to British workers, but he couldn't get any of them to do it on the wages that were being offered, so he uses migrant workers instead. From his perspective it was a simple economic equation.

    Does anybody know what Treble means when he says "Common Market"?
    Does he mean the European Economic Area?

    Thats been going on for years, lots of East Euros working the fields near me, because the wages are low for the effort needed.
    This is where the gov must be tough on the unemployed. work the fields or nothing.

    That's why there's a problem. Migrant workers can earn a lot more in the UK than in their home countries but British people can receive enough in benefits for not working to not want to get a job.
