Right, so it doesn't support what you said. That doesn't say that our imports will be zero rated. There will be tariffs on cars, for example.

The Irish Times states: "However, goods entering the rest of the UK from the Republic of Ireland would face tariffs which will be high in some sectors and be a particular threat to the Irish beef and dairy sectors, who sell a large proportion to the British market."

That does not say UK imports will be zero rated.
The No Deal tariffs encourage more imports of products outside of the EU, going against your point.
Stop spreading misinformation.

Which explains in a nutshell why Jezza is so anti-Europe.

That's another Tory plan. Keep underfunding the NHS, then point out that certain areas are so bad that only private funds can help out, and allow the Yanks to come in with their money, which is so much easier, once we're out of the EU.

Oh here we go again - The EU need us more than we need them/It's all Johnny Foreigner's fault. .
Right, so when ManOfSussex said "Oh here we go again - The EU need us more than we need them", half an hour ago, he was referring to a claim by the Leave campaign over 3 years ago.
It's dumb and dumber

The government has announced that most imports into the UK would not attract a tariff in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
Under a temporary scheme 87% of imports by value would be eligible for zero-tariff access
So it's majority, rather than all.

I know what that article says. I linked it to you earlier in a post, which you conveniently did not reply to.
That article doesn't support what you say (imports will be zero rated, the EU will not suffer):
"The new tariff regime would mark a shift in favour of products from non-EU countries.
It would mean 82% of imports from the EU would be tariff-free, down from 100% now.
92% percent of imports from the rest of the world would pay no border duty, up from 56%."
Stop spreading misinformation.

I didn't see it in a previous post, so don't accuse me of conveniently not replying. 87% of imports will be zero rated. What is wrong with that?

I think some people are getting a bit excited about this but don't take into account that, at the moment, about 80% of goods are tariff free anyway!!!
I don't, but as yours was in reply to [MENTION=1320]Notters[/MENTION] that posted 'he bloody well hope so' to a second referendum less than 36 hours after the first one, I couldn't help thinking you too might want to save Brexiteers from their own stupidity by not respecting the referendum result, no ?
Sure. They rejected the initial EU proposal so their government went back and renegotiated.

No, and don't jump to conclusions.
I cannot respect a referendum obtained by criminal and corrupt means.
Nothing is wrong with that. It's just not what you said.
You want photos of someone suffering? Are you a sick pervert?

Those times are long gone. Strategic mistakes and greed then - trying to make too much money from the collapse of the USSR - lead us to where we are now.

Yes, they had a general election and voted in the pro austerity minister, who realised the only way to get out of the mess, their government had got themselves in to, was to accept the bail out.
It was hard but the Greeks themselves had the choice.

are they? by value? that would surprise me as it removes one of the principle reasons for (and objections of) the EU.
edit, found a source that suggests this would be about right, accounting for imports from EU and EU agreed quotas/deals.
