No difference at all. Walked away from a deal last month. I didn't need to buy a car,
so I kept the money and the car dealer lost the sale. WTO rules have the same effect.


The UK imports at least 40% of its food, and so unlike you and the car,
we do actually need to buy food. That's the difference.

Unless of course you're willing to allow 40% of the UK population to starve
to death, if you can't get the deal that you want. Whether deliberately or not.


so stupid on so many counts

Yesterday I bought courgettes. From South Africa.
Cornflakes. From the USA
Lemons. From Israel.
Lamb. From New Zealand.
None of these countries are members of the EU.

And of course our ability to source food from the EU will be completely
unaffected by lack of a trade deal. It will simply be 5% more expensive.

If you actually want to convince me that brexit is a bad idea, at least
come up with a convincing argument based on facts, not some total
fantasy based on wishful thinking.

You must love Corbyn.


*Oh sorry I forgot about that bit".

Which isn't actually the bounds of possibility; given the degree of mental
competence you customarily display on this Newsgroup.


I am afraid its your mental competence that appears to be in decline.

Everybody knows that all the EU has to offer is a free trade deal, Fir
the UK there is no other advantage in membership whatsoever.

And the fact is, a trade deal is really not a big deal.

The real threat of Brexit is that it shows the EU emperors to be utterly
stark bollock naked: The real truth is that the EU has no reason to
exist and has achieved nothing more than a monstrous mafia like hold of
crony capitalism allied to stupid socialism and Europe is grown up
enough top not need nanny Merkel to spank their bottoms.

Or perhaps they aren't.

Oh well, not out problem.
