    perhaps some-one could post up the Canadian newspapers desperate pleas to join the USA (or the EU or China) as obviously a small pathetic country like canada can't possibly prosper on its own

    Already here Mayo, Hastings had/has a large asylum seeking community and what a tip it is now. The Warrior Square area is a complete !!!!hole now due to Asylum seekers, 95% of whom are men......
    That's very possible.
    But do you think moving the border from France to Britain will improve the situation? Without resorting to that Angry Little England Supremacist's fantasy of putting them straight away on a return ticket to France, it's obviously clear keeping our border control in France is the most preferred option.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    clearly better to satisfy your racist angry anti french fantasy by keeping non white non christian foreigners safely in France and not let them land in the UK; however the marginal benefit to satisfy your racism isn't sufficient to justify the loss of UK democracy.
    Better to be meet and trade with the whole world rather than you white christian fantasy.

    If a Brexited UK can get the terms claimed and not contribute to the EU in any way fine. But it does seem to be too good to be true.

    Presumably the EFTA nations will be renegotiating this kind of deal and Switzerland too?

    I think it has got something to do with that we're so damn important to their own trade, they'll be falling over themselves to offer us free trade without the need for us to pay a contribution. :)

    Good article.
    That Vladimir Putin, thief of Crimea and Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s only friend in the world, is the sole leader encouraging a “Brexit” should tell Britons all they need know about the folly of quitting a 43-year mutually beneficial association with their EU allies.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    I`m not so sure. The way mainland Europe is treating its immigrants is disgusting. If the flotsam and jetsam of the world do make it to the UK I cannot conceive of a situation where a few thousand will be held in cargo containers like they are in France can you?

    The free trade deal with Canada isn't the deal that's presented by Brexitiers. It has over 1200 pages of not-free trade exclusions listed.

    That may sound like a lot of exclusions. But as the EU's document states - 99% of non agricultural products and 92% of agricultural products will be removed.

    A stagnant economy means EU companies have fewer opportunities to prosper. This Canada deal demonstrates just how desperate the EU are to access new markets.

    They've spent years of painstaking negotiations setting the Canada deal up to give them access to a population half the size of the UK. Are they really going to refuse to negotiate with the UK when faced with losing 10% of their exports?

    Common sense would say not.
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    what fantasy world do you live in where 'free' trade requires a bribe?
    Anyway, I don't think we should accept a bribe from them anyway.

    I thought that is exactly what we did with arrivals on aircraft who have come from a safe country as agreed internationally in the Dublin accord or is that just a fantasy.
    I think....

    99% of industrial goods are covered. Services, which make up the majority of the UK's economy, are patchily covered at best.

    As business services and finance make up almost a quarter of the UK's economy, entering into an agreement that explicitly disbars those things from being exported would be at best foolhardy.

    Maybe citing the agreement with Canada isn't the best way to promote a Brexit unless of course you fancy paying all those taxes that rich bankers pay on your behalf.
