    Ok clearly we have a racist in the house and I won't acknowledge your existence any more. However, can't resist one last point regarding trade:

    The EU has 596 trade negotiators, some of the FTAs are so complex, they took decades to form and for example the agreement with Canada is 1600 page long.
    UK is immediately excluded from all of these and has only 2 years to form its own agreements. The UK hasn't made a trade agreement since 1973.

    USA also claims that the TTIP (EU trade agreement) takes precedence and any negotiation with the UK will go at the back of the queue. Source

    The country is permanently and irrevocably damaged.

    The country is f***ed.

    And you win....

    Still not learning very well for someone so educated with common sense.

    I will never defend myself because of the actions of others. Just like i didnt go round to my neighbour saying sorry that a white man robbed her.

    Your point about trade is moot seeing as we havent been allowed to make a trade agreement because of our overlords.

    FYI, i just managed to copy and paste in about 2 minutes.

    the length of the EU negotiation shows the hopelessness of trying to please 28 different nations and economies: it will be vastly easy to have to only please a single nation

    the quote from Barak has now been superseded as we all predicted.

    I voted reman.
    I except the result.
    The British Government should stop messing about and get out of the EU.

    However I reserve the right to point out that this result HAS brought about huge uncertainty and economic difficulties AS FORECAST BY THE MANY MANY EXPERTS WHO WERE RUBBISHED by the out campaigners.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    I do hope you are right, except countries have much more interest trading with a large block and will accept a lot of concessions to make it happen. I fear they might play hardball to trade just with 1 single country because the benefits are fewer. UK may end up getting a botched subset of what it had before in bilateral agreements. What's worse it has 2 years to make it all happen. So it needs to act incredibly quickly and efficiently. How this goes we just have to wait and see..

    Has anyone looked at the trade deals that have been blocked because one country did not want the competition. Oh, and the TTIPP (sic) looks like it will not happen.

    Trade deals are hard to negotiate when there is multiple countries involved, not easy for just one but at least we wont have to ask all the other countries.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
