Yeah it’s awfully ‘weedy and defeatist’ to mention facts. I’m sure if we’d have rocked up in Brussels with more ‘belief’ then a rules based organisation would have rolled over and changed the rules of the club for the member who’s decided to leave. You spout little more than meaningless soundbites and jingoistic bullshit man.
So we’d end up on the right end of the tariffs so WTO is all fine and dandy then? Only you seem to forget that the tariffs will be ultimately be paid by the consumer and together with a further crashed currency this’ll drive inflation.
You dismiss the impact on our complex supply chains with ‘they’ll just have to manage’ and ‘political will’. That’s just abject nonsense. No amount of ‘will’ can change the fact that overnight we’d be introducing crucial time delays to a system that currently runs like a Swiss watch. You think because you once imported a truck load of non time sensitive whatever, that you understand complex logistics, newsflash: you’ve not got a clue. Here’s the thing, when you introduce barriers to trade - then you do less trade. We’d be leaving the largest, frictionless free trade area on the planet and overnight losing not only the single market access to the EU27, but the trade deals that we have via the EU with 70 other countries. Yet we hear Brexiteers like you in Parliament bloviating about how it’ll all be fine to trade via WTO. Bullshit!
In addition you completely skirt the hundreds of regulatory agreements that we’d fall out of on the 29th March under ‘no deal’. These agreements cover everything from your driving licence validity on the mainland, to aviation licensing, to medicine approvals processes, to the vetinary requirements for the movement of animal products, to nuclear isotopes used in chemotherapy....and much more besides. Literally 45 years of regulatory alignment ending on one day, that cover virtually every aspect of life, and blow hards like you dismiss it all as being somehow irrelevant. Well it’s neither irrelevant nor project fear mk11 it’s fact, we either reach agreement on these hundreds of issues sensibly before we leave, allowing time for new regulatory bodies here, process and procedure to be sorted, or we agree them after we leave in a state of crisis. So the entire premise of ‘no deal’ is false, there’ll have to be a deal on all of these issues
We’ve not even started negotiating a future trade deal yet, so how is the ‘current one on offer’ subservient? You’re throwing around nonsense. Oh and shock, horror, the EU doesn’t want us to have all of the benefits of being in the club, once we’ve resigned and left the club, how awful of them. What a set of mean bullies eh?
