I'm still waiting for someone to explain why there would be
tariffs.

The single market is a a tarriff-free zone

And tariffs on imports, even if we went WTO, would be under our
control. You seem to have bought into the lie that being WTO would
*automatically* mean tariffs.

Can you really see this country allowing in all imports with no
tariffs at all?

More ****-stirring and making things up, I see. Did I say anything
about "all imports"? No.

From countries which will have imposed a tariff on our exports?

So if they impose tariffs, our tariffs would automatically spring
into life? You're just spouting more Remoaner bull****.


The problem with that line is there's more than one of "them"

We cannot remove tariffs from imports from the EU without also
removing tariffs from imports (of the same thing) from the USA or
China (you can replace remove with impose in that sentence to get
the contra view)

How do we balance this trick if the EU wants to impose tariffs on us,
but the US doesn't? (for the purpose of the discussion, just
pretend that might happen)

Why can the EU selectively impose a tariff on stuff from Britain,

It won't be (doing it selectively)

In the absence of a Trade Deal it will simply apply the already in
existence EU External Tariff to UK imports, as it does to every other
non-EU country

But Britain is free to have any trade deals it likes and do it that way.

Britain is free to try and get any trade deal it likes. trade deals need
agreement of the other country

Which is why talking about hard or soft Brexit as if it were in the
hands of the UK government is utter nonsense. These remoaners do like to
keep contradicting themselves.
