and that is where I was told I was wrong (along with others) and that
the UK would *not* need to re-negotiate any trade deals.

Of course the UK would need to negotiate any trade deals, since there
are no deals in place currently between the UK and any other nation. We
could ask for any pre-existing EU deal to be the basis of it, assuming
that's what we wanted to have, but until that was negotiated and agreed,
there would be nothing in place.

You know that and I know that and the Vote Leave campaign knows that but
sadly from the exchanges on here too many Brexit supporters do not.
