Care to clarify why? How much easier can it be than simply arriving here from an EU state.0 -

Oh dear.
AGAIN?
Okay.
From gov.uk itself.

Feel free to wade through the report from our Government's official Department for Trade: "International Investment Results For 2015 to 2016" which IS enclosed in that link and see if you can then argue with this official Government stance yourself?
It contains much in the way of figures to keep you amused.
I look forward to seeing you disagree with this official report with interest.
Though your previous standards regarding comprehension provide little expectation.
With all respect, I'm not going to waste more time on this. Your link and report once more talk about projects.India has emerged as the second largest job creator in the UK by creating 7,105 new jobs over the period, and retained its position as the third largest investor in Britain second time in a row providing 140 projects. India closely follows China (which includes Hong Kong) with 156. The USA remained the UK’s largest source of inward investment providing 570 projects.Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -

Is India 3rd in your tool?
Any update on this, Tricky?Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -
I like change, embrace it, find new realities, don't bob along like a mindless jellyfish on a Brussels tide
Time to replace Remoaning with inventiveness
Empire 2 awaits
Brilliant, you are posting with a sense of humour. I was worrying for a bit.
The Empire was maintained under the Three Power Standard. There is no way that the British Navy can overtake the US Navy in my lifetime let alone match its fire power plus the next biggest two (China plus Russia or perhaps South Korea).
So your 'hole in the ground farm' idea was actually a joke too. Nice one Conrad. Empire 2, hole-in-the-ground. LOLZtastic mate.
So what's actually the plan as opposed to increasing costs for farmers massively (unless you secretly believe that having farms in big holes is cheaper than having them on the surface).
I do have a question just in case your farm-in-a-hole idea is real. If a farm-in-a-hole is cheaper than one on the surface why do those go getting British farmers that are going to drive Brexit home insist on using a not-farm-in-a-hole business model? I mean I can't think of anything finer than a carrot-from-a-hole-farm but I am yet to see one.0 -

Or you just don't like the truth?
If you wonder why Tricky is not responding I suspect it may be a result of you ignoring anything relevant when anyone does reply.0 -

I am still waiting for you to prove the Government's statement wrong.

Gotta say this made me laugh, even if you missed my point
