Not for S Korea, Japan, Canada and all the others. We will obviously trade perfectly well with Europe whilst setting our own migration rules. Europe will not be in a position to harm it's citizens with trade hampering measures - I PROMISE you this
It's all so bloody simple
I think that most people in Europe quite like free movement of people and want it to continue. I think that most of them will accept a lesser deal with the UK to preserve this. That is just my thought. We'll see who is right in a few years.0 -
The educated now 40% when leaving school go to university .Are these so called 40% better educated than the rest once again im baffled by this i thought you needed a levels to get into uni so a levels must be a hell of a lot easier now than years ago .Or are these 40% the ones on crazy courses that no one needs and have no job at the end of them or is going to uni easier than facing the real world and getting a job. Two things stick in my mind about the referendum one was a girl saying how she couldn't understand the uneducated voting to leave and how highly educated she was this while working in a London Cafe .The other a girl on rollerskates whos job was performing arts?? crying that she couldn't skate around Barcelona anymore also in London.This just goes to show how far off Londonlanders are from the real issues that were voted on.And you wonder why so many are threatening to turn London into the Belfast of the Seventies:eek:Nice to save.0

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-37987166The report notes a growing gap between the generations, warning that those born in the 1980s are the first post-war cohort not to start their working lives on higher salaries than their immediate predecessors.

What the Rightists tell us is that Brexit is supposed to make less people able to come here, not make less of them want to.
Great job Brexitards.
Considering that the UK has seven of the top ranked universities in the world's top thirty and the EU doesn't have any, they are clearly not bothered about having the best education.0 -

Post-truth remainiacs assured me Merkel and Brussels would never compromise on FOM.
Post trust remainiacs say Britain is a laughing stock, therefore Canada will shun us.
She hasn't though. The headline didn't match the content.George Eaton Merkel's comments actually suggest she's open to restricting benefits for migrants, not free movement itself.Alberto Nardelli The Telegraph and others have somehow interpreted this as "Merkel signals key concession"1) she has always said this
2) Germany & others already doing this (Germany passed a bill a few weeks ago)
3) this is a non-story“In the event that we make an exception for the U.K. on freedom of movement, this would mean that we endanger the foundations of the entire single market within the EU, because all the others would also want this exception,” Merkel said. “That’s why I think we need to have another discussion with the EU Commission on when this freedom of movement is valid.Merkel Hints at Revisiting EU Welfare Brake in Brexit Gambit
German Chancellor Angela Merkel suggested that the European Union should revisit a deal previously struck with the U.K. to curb welfare for migrants, as a former EU Commission head said more could have been done to keep Britain in the bloc.
“Freedom of movement is valid to me in the sense that a worker earns money for himself and his family in another country,” she said. “The question of when lifelong guarantees come into effect according to the social standard of the host country must certainly be taken into consideration.”
I think the Telegraph lost something in translation.It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?0 -
Canada expects Britain to be part of the CETA trade deal between Canada and the European Union, and stands ready to work with Britain on how the system will function after Brexit, Finance Minister Bill Morneau told BBC radio on Wednesday.

You want more delay, more uncertainty then, and all the while Brussels will play along with these additional occilations, of course, silly me
I don't think organising another one, two referenda, would take much time.
I am happy to defer to any greater knowledge you have with regards to the machinations of Brussels. I certainly don't detest that organisation with your passion. Another flawed but well intentioned idea, legislated into being, by our flawed species.0 -

I like the way you put forward political commentators views on twitter as evidence of fact. :rotfl:If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -
