It's also why we separate trade deals are utterly pointless while we're

I have read the above three times, and am still scratching my head.

Sorry. You're right. What I meant to say was that if the UK applied duty,
but Germany didn't.

Why on earth would we?
Brexit is all about getting out from a trade cartel that only allows
free trade between its members, and is incapable of doing a deal with
anyone else.

Since we trade more with NON EU poeple its to our davnage not to put up
barriers to trade with them.

We USED to have pretty much free trade with te commonwealth. The EU puts
a stop to that. Big mistake. The commonwealth is now a far far bigger
market.
