Who says we cannot trade ???? Please list in your reply which of the worlds countries we cannot trade with ? I can’t be bothered googling but off the top of my head I’d guess at North Korea , Iran , Syria ... I’ve never heard or read anywhere we can’t trade with any of the European countries ....yet you are implying after brexit we could no longer trade with these... please show me why this will no longer be possible ...
However once free it is a FACT we can make trade deals with the rest of the world and that is something you cannot do as a EU member so a little clarity in your reasoning please just as we can trade with European countries .... AND THEY CAN TRADE WITH US , considering we buy far more than we sell then it seems obvious tariffs are not in their interest ..... grown ups call it ‘ the ball is in your court mr Mercedes ‘
Your blind irrational uninformed hatred of the EU had also impaired your ability to read and understand poster actually said which was:
“maintaining friendly relationships with the EU countries that we want to continue to trade with.”
Where did the Poster day we cannot trade?
We can make trade deals when we leave with whoever wishes to enter into one with us just as at present as art of the. EU we can make trade deals with the rest of the world and that is what has and is continuing to happen.
We currently are party to 60 free trade deals that we about to discard. It has been repeatedly stated that we will just replicate or “roll over” these agreements. Liam Fox has been appointed to obtain commitments from those third parties which he has abjectly failed to do. It seems they are not as desperate to do so as leavers thought.
Similarly, as can be seen by the UKs negotiations with the EU they do not need us more than we need them as oft quoted leavers mantra goes
The Poster expresses concerns over relationships and maintaining relationships are important when negotiating with countries or blocs we wish to trade with. David Davis and Boris Johnson failed spectacularly in this regard.
The OP seeks a sensible solution to end a deadlock. The hardline Brexiteers want a scenario that only benefits ultra wealthy disaster capitalists that funded and provided services to the leave campaign or Russian interests who it has emerged, utilised social media to influence voters and most likely funding of one of the leave campaigns
virtualy every economic analysis of Leaving the EU without a deal indicated it will be seriously damaging to the UK to the extent that the sums we pay into the RU will ale into insignificance. The sovereigntiy we gave up to the EU is minor. The damage you want io inflict to our country is immense. The only respose you are capable of is an inanysound byte “ Project Fear “ which is just a means to to hide the truth when there is no evidence to counter with
If we leave it needs to be orderly and minimising economic damage to our country. An advocate of anything else is certainly not acting in the best interests of our country and one would wonder where their loyalties lay
