I know this will be make the Remainers howl with rage BUT thought I'd flag it up anyways. In the trade section 9.14

9.14
The UK will also host the inaugural Commonwealth Trade Ministers’ Meeting in March
2017, ahead of hosting the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 2018. The Commonwealth has 52 member countries, including some of the world’s fastest growing.
It accounts for more than two billion people and spans six continents. In 2015, intra-
Commonwealth trade was valued at almost $700 billion.

Interesting imho.

What are you talking about?

It's a CLAPTON post, just ignore and be happy he didn't start ranting about white Christians and African farmers.

In all of this can you imagine such a perfect storm erupting where the Labour party would do nothing to oppose the Tories? Imagine if any other leader was in charge, they'd have fought every step of the way just to raise their profile and portray themselves as a big alternative but Corbyn has had Labour lay down their arms and do whay the Prime Minister wants. Wonderful.

Corbyn is anti EU. He voted against joining the EEC in 1973, against Maastricht in 1993 and against the Lisbon Treaty in 2005. I'm guessing when he went home last night he was like this

Another interesting bit in the White Paper.

Re Customs Union 8:44

As a large trading nation, we possess a world-class customs system which handles imports and exports from all over the world. We already have highly efficient processes for freight arriving from the rest of the world – the vast majority of customs declarations in the UK are submitted electronically and are cleared rapidly. Only a small proportion cannot go through so rapidly, for instance where risk assessment indicates that compliance and enforcement checks are required at the border. The World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index shows that HMRC operates one of the world’s most efficient customs regimes.

Just in case you aren't aware, be ready for the standard retort that "The Commonwealth is full of poor people, compared to the EU"


Again their key mistake here is to assume it's an either / or choice of trade with EU or ROW


I don't know if you listen to LBC in the evenings, but the remainer ignorance as absolutely staggering. So many think a trade deal is essential for trade or that we are stopping all trade with the EU, and often presenters don't challenge these misconceptions

I do agree with that bit. I think it's because Remainers were voting or the Status Quo - so it required no thinking. It is also why the Remainers lost - they just didn't have a grip on the arguments - so the Leavers wiped the floor with them....

imho.

We all call things the way we see at the time, at least he had the presence of mind and latitude to do a bit of self-examination and re-evaluation of his belief topography


The remainers that really get me are like those you hear calling LBC each night - just utterly unable not to engage with facts and reality.


One last night said he'd never ever heard an argument as to why we wont be committing financial suicide.


I mean, where to start with a mind like that?


Why would this mind filter out thousands of arguments stating the very thing he claims never to have heard?


IT IS SOMETHING ABOUT A CULT LIKE MIND TRAP

Is that what Jezza really looks like? The media really does do a hatchet job on him.

So we are good at helping others export and import things into the UK. Hurrah!

Surely what matters is how other nations (soon including the EU) treat our imports and exports?
