Don't think you have quite got the hang of this.Opening a link to NSC can be hazardous to a non-secure site,ie HTTP as opposed to HTTPS.Probably due to people posting with links to dodgy East European sites.I could be a **** and post the links,but unlike some,I have respect for other people.

We are not likely to demand that we get the same benefits and pay less money IMO.
The EU exports far more to the UK than it does to Japan, so Japan's GDP isn't really relevant.

The deal didn't happen, and we don't know the detail of the deal anyway. At least EU trade with the US is more comparable with the UK that Japan's trade, I'll give you that.

You're not even on the UK's side.

I tried to engage with sensible debate (which started with post to [MENTION=12101]Mellotron[/MENTION]). Then nibble/the clamp joined in and, as per usual, starts his modus operandi of trying to rile people by insulting, so yeah, I called him a c*nt. I admit it was done in frustration and irritation. I won't put him on ignore as I think that's pointless. (Only 1 on ignore- HW Tackle)

Fact is he's a proven liar (he denied having a previous account nibble, threatened people with 'legal action/consequences' and then admitted he had had the account, but had changed to the Clamp because he'd been threatened by another poster in the past). He has a history of irritating people, yet he's too thick to see it. He thinks as he falls out with so many people, it's all their fault rather than his.

I'd happily engage in sensible debate, but it comes down to a constant stream (from certain posters) about leavers are thick, racist, xenophobes etc, it becomes pointless. And, the remain voters seem to refuse to accept that it is remainers who are running the negotiations and our preparations. Namely, May, Hammond and Robbins.

I also will ignore Herr T most of the time (as he comes across as a patronising, self-righteous person who can't even admit when he makes a mistake as he did regarding a chart a few months ago). But the Clamp I find to be a nasty person, probably due, in my opinion, to his own failings in life.

Interesting to read a report in the FT that the government is beginning to float the idea that the UK stays in the EEA to solve the logjam. What's particularly interesting is that it's a suggestion, not from a Remainer, but from arch-Brexiteer Michael Gove.

"At a recent dinner, Mr Gove talked with moderate Conservative MPs and peers about a scenario in which the UK would remain “parked” in the European Economic Area, like Norway, to avoid the chaos of a disorderly “no deal” exit.

The idea of the UK’s staying in the EEA in the event of Brexit talks collapsing has been gaining ground among some Conservatives.

It would be a sensible solution and proof perhaps that not everyone in the Tory party is totally barmy - although many do give that impression. It would be interesting to see if this has legs

This is why I can’t be bothered with this thread. Too many blinkered people.

blah blah blah

And, with that, I’m back out of here for a few more days.

If you’d care to trawl back through, you’d see that I have days on end when I don’t post. I find the blinkered responses from people like you pointless.

You can’t seem to accept that us leavers agree there will be a short-term impact but we will adapt to the new reality of life post Brexit. You seem to think that what happens on day 1 will be permanent. It won’t be.

And yes we can implement WTO and no NI border. We just say to the EU, we won’t be erecting any infrastructure. If we’re in breach of WTO the so are the F*CKING EU. Get it!!!!!

larus said:

A border is between the EU and the UK.
Trade goes between the EU and the UK over the NI border.

We both agree with that.

If the UK falls back onto WTO rules to trade with the EU, the both parties are trading on WTO rules with each other.

There is as much requirement on the EU to enforce WTO rules as there is on the UK.

And with that I am now finally out for a few days.

You wonder why people think you’re a complete c*nt and threaten you.

I’ve tried to be civil and make sensible points, but you really are a prize pr1ck nibble. And a complete liar who’s been found out.

My side only told small lies and your side told really big porkies.

We had project fear about not joining the Euro. Result - FAIL.
We had project fear about a vote 2 leave. Result - FAIL.
We’re now having project fear about when we leave. Result - ?.

“But we’re right this time. We really, really are. Oh, forget about the other lies, they’re not important. What’s going to happen now is we won’t be able to import food, nor medicines, nor fly in aeroplanes.” Sorry, I just don’t believe the sh1t anymore.

As I said in my post to [MENTION=12101]Mellotron[/MENTION], I accept there will be some disruption and a short-term impact. You remainers can’t accept (or more likely choose not to accept), that people/companies will deal with the new situation and adapt to it and move forward.

The UK is a flexible, open, dynamic economy. Much more than most of the EU which relies heavily on protectionism.

And, with that, I’m back out of here for a few more days.

You can't tell them that trigger. You can't tell them that us leaving is going to the hurt the EU as much as us. It's all one way.

I think the idea of doing the deal with Japan is that it will increase trade with Japan.

I want the best outcome for the UK, for me that is staying in the EU. I don't have a side as I feel both the UK and the EU represent us, and I would like to keep it that way.

Triggaaar said:

It's still not going to be as much as with us. Or is the idea of not doing a fair deal with us to deliberately decrease trade with us?

Baldseagull said:

I agree, it won't be as much trade as with us. Their isn't an idea of not doing a fair deal with the UK, but with added layers of bureaucracy and delays in crossing the border, it is highly likely to decrease.

I think we can get a reasonable trade agreement but we have tied ourselves in knots with the customs union /NI Ireland border stuff. I think we will have to resolve that to put us in a position to negotiate the deal.

I think that we have red-lined ourselves into a corner but maybe the EEA proposal mentioned earlier is a way out.

Do I accept that there were lies on the Leave side? Yes I do. Do I think those lies were in any way comparable in scale to the complete untruths of the Leave campaign? Absolutely not.

Project Fear is basically correct, apart from the the timing. Cameron and Osborne made it sound like it would all happen the day after the vote - this was plain wrong - and not a gradual descent into chaos finally escalating the day after the time on the 2-year clock expires.

We were never going to get a Deal from the EU, so to mislead the voters that we would is bad, but to say the Deal would be easily obtained and they need us more than we need them is downright irresponsible.
