Given that the EU is looking to establish a free trade deal with Japan it is unthinkable that it would be looking to exclude one of its largest and its closest trading partner from a free trade arrangement. The EU already has a free trade deal with Turkey.

We would negotiate them before we leave, the same as if Scotland leaves the UK and will need to negotiate a deal to remain in the sterling area and indeed the EU itself.

Tut tut.....we can see certainly what goes on in your head and I see you didn't address any of the points I made.
