Freggyragh Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The U.K. survived very well when trade agreements with a third of the world were signed with Maxim guns pointed at the other party, food shortages were solved by taking it of the Irish, the U.K. had the strongest industrial sector in the world and the world was organised into Empires, rather than trade blocks. Those days are long gone. Fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Down Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Just now, P.K. said: You surely can't avoid the fact that border free and tariff free movement of goods and services can only encourage trade.... I’m not avoiding anything PK. I just don’t think we will be any worse off. I’m not an expert so can’t quantify it, but surely you can see we can work as effectively without answering to a European Parliament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballaughbiker Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) How's civil aviation (for example) going to work if there's a no-deal then Neil? Y'know without 'answering' to this parliament that effectively regulates aviation throughout the EU (+ CH, N etc) ?
