Yup an ipad made in China.

But we can still do our bit - MSEers stop shoping in aldi and Lidl for starters - get back to Tesco and Sainsburys

Buy British.

Yes, good idea. Get some British bananas from Tescos rather than the German ones from Aldi.

What the trading arrangement looks like will be up to both sides to negotiate, but I hope free movement is an absolute red line for Britain.

Hope is the basis of the leave plan.

If this is a red line for both parties we're heading down the WTO route which will be a damaging transition for both parties.

I think the electorate needs to be asked what the red lines really are.

It's a fundamental principle of a failed political union. Its demise was not brought about by Britain but by their expansion to include vastly disparate economies.

They don't have to abandon it for themselves. They just ought to find a mutually beneficial way to trade with their soon-to-be biggest independent trading partner in Europe without attempting to impose such a foolish concept on us.

Have you ever done a negotiation in a commercial context?

I can tell you from experience that telling the other side that they are !!!! and complaining that the situation is not fair doesn't get you very far.

Why would companies trading in the UK headquarter themselves on the other side of a trade barrier (if we have one)?

depends on the nature of the business

if its about 20% uk 80% EU then its better to be in the EU or if its possible and cost effective it might be splitting or creating subsidiaries in each.

Brilliant! Make it an easier decision for them to leave and take those jobs with them. You are a genius!

I thought Beckham was supposed to be the simple one.

Buy British everyone. Our jobs depend on it.

We've made our decision. The EU won't ever listen to us.

We Stand Together.

Eh no, I won't be buying British. I have been taken out of the EU
against my will. I will make a point of buying anything but British.

Supposed to be going to Cardiff in a month with friends for a couple of nights. We've changed our plans now. Wales can get lost. They voted to leave. They're not having my money.
