I'm waiting for all those right wing Bexiteers to explain who's going to pay these higher wages which they say will happen after we've left the EU. Just were the money will come from. No more austerity? From employers whose access to cheap migrant labour will be reduced. If that means the price of a latte for well-to-do middle-class BBC pensioners goes up, so be it. Think of it as income redistribution. Or could it be they're merely using the first argument that comes out of their arse? Without thinking it through - like so much else? As regards immigration, the last few governments have all promised to reduce it to a trickle, but failed. Even for the 50% or so which had nothing to do with the EU. At least we will be able to control those from the EU now. -- Jack |

Why would they continue to let the dregs of Romania and Poland show up in Britain ? Its not as if lots of poms choose to move to Poland and Romania. also why they think wages will go up Even you should have noticed that, particularly with minimum wage jobs like couriers and car washers etc, that when there are lots more who can do that work, no one will pay more than the minimum wage. and why we wont still have to follow the EU directives to get CE on what we want to export to the EU. Sure, but that isnt the only export market for Britain. and who is going to pay for all the extra red tape. Those who buy what Britain flogs. |

It must be to met your idea that it costs more to meet EU standards.

Very few of the consumer goods I buy, do not have tariffs. What is going to change? I would not be at all surprised if German designed cars were sourced from China if the EU wants to play hardball. That will please the German workers no end! The UK is known as treasure island by the car makers because of it's uncompetitive market. Resourcing will become common and exports will be more software than hardware in many cases. It's called change and will be a good thing IMO. |

There are no "usual tariffs and duties". Only the ones we *choose* to apply. Go on, then. Give us some real world examples. Two developed countries with no trade agreement at all produce a similar thing. Lets say wheat. And it can be freely traded either way. I'm not really interested in your theoretical 'we don't have to apply a tariff' arguments, since protecting home grown industry etc by tariffs is as old as the hills I'm interested in how Brexit will apply in practice.

I'm interested in how Brexit will apply in practice. It will be intresting but we've always assumjed whastever deal German negoitaotors have done has always been best for the EU. I'm not sure whther the EU has to contribut to the UN nuclear program or not. |
