Ask Theresa May if she has signed up to the Customs Union, and Free Market. That will tell you.

We will get the deal that a top-tier economy gives to a second-tier economy, because that is what we voted to become. It’s how the world is: nothing personal, just business. Surely you didn’t expect it to be anything else?

To be fair, I read engineering at university, and many people on the same course (including myself to a certain extent) did nothing except doss about...
But only some of us are idiots...
Which engineering course did you do? My other half did mechanical engineering.

I think some of our posters aren't aware that Dyson moved the production of goods to Malaysia over 16 years ago. It was nothing to do with the quality of our operatives or engineers but that wages are 30% cheaper.

How will that tell us what happens after 29th March? We don't know yet. Are you being deliberately obtuse?
Is the deal Singapore and the EU have signed indicative of one a top-tier economy gives to a second-tier economy? But you're another of those claiming to know exactly what the deal will be, so please go ahead and say exactly what it'll be.

Was always of great amusement to us that if you looked under "Boring" in the Yellow Pages at the time (anyone remember them?), the entry simply read: "See: Civil Engineering"*

Correct me , but didn't the Germans and French discuss a joined up thinking statement of a combined security force after POTUS said that NATO is dead and the US were fed up of paying for it.
It seems sensible that with our friend Putin flexing his naked torso, the EU needs to review all its options.

Certainly if we were:
a) To leave the EU
b) The EU went ahead with an EU Army and
c) The US President pulled out of NATO and concluded a treaty with the EU Army then that would certainly make things interesting, especially with us being a nuclear power and all.

At the moment, all we know is what May has put in front of Parliament. That doesn't include a customs union.
If that is rejected then who knows?
Why would I be deliberately obtuse?

No, we've already vetoed it. Of course, future governments could consider it, but it would have to be passed in our own parliament first.
That's if we do remain.

Yes, that was a standing joke amongst all engineering students.

Watch this space,if you get your way and democracy is overturned You could well be ....
On our way.
I suspect Trumps statements didn't help but let's be honest, he is unlikely to win the race next year and even if he did then he's around for a further four years maximum. NATO isn't going to collapse in that time and any sane POTUS isn't really going to abandon NATO.

How about if NATO are confronting Russian movements against the Baltic states,and the EU want their army to invade Greece for defaulting on German debt repayments?
You know this for sure do you ? The UK doesn't have national service but 6 of the other 27 members do and France is looking at re-introducing it. I'm too old to be called up but good luck Plooks ..... I've sure you'll survive !
Absolutely amazing.
