So what other products can;t we buy because we lack a trade deal ?


None, zero, nada, not one.

You have been told on a number of occasions: trade deals
are NOT about stopping goods being sold, they're about
how much duty/tax the receiving country adds to the cost.


Yes I know, what I want to know is WHY there is this added duty or cost.


Because that was the fashion/fad at the time, largely the
result of mindless protectionism that was seen during the great
depression that we can still see the vestiges remaining today.

It's best NOT to have a trade deal.


If you dont, you get go pay the duty the EU chooses
to apply to what comes from outside the EU.

So we donl;t need a trade deal with the whole of the EU just Eire.


Ireland can't make trade deals on its own if it's part of the EU.


So how does it trade with the USA on it's own,


Doesnt need any trade deal to do that, as you have been told
repeatedly and have always been too blotto to comprehend.

or with teh EU.


Eire can do what it likes trade wise with the EU because its part of the EU.
Joining the EU was in fact agreeing to be part of that trade deal, amongst
other things like the free movement of people within the EU.

yeah sure. Where do you think the parts come from.
Most of teh iphones are assembled in Taiwan NOT china.
The individual parts are sourced from all over the world.


No. Mainland China - which has become the world's factory.


all over the world,


Not with the iphone, most comes from china
apart from the cpus which come from Korea and
some stuff like the screen and camera from Japan.

you really don't know much about this do you.


You have never had a clue.

Is Taiwan part of mainland china .


None of the iphone comes from Taiwan.

What about switzerland ?


None of the iphone comes from switzerland.

As you know nothing you'll now ask why

The camera is made in japan.
a lot of the rare materials come from the congo area of africa via
foxxcon.


There are in fact **** all rare materials in an iphone.

Actually, I decided earlier today that you must be a troll.


Just a blotto pig ignorant clown.
