    Or a deal that tells us how big or how small our strawberries have to be. ?

    If you and Clapton mean why do we need to be part of the single market, it's because if you are selling into a regulated market, you need to follow its regulations.

    It affects services more than goods. Do you understand that the City of London sells services, not strawberries?

    I doubt our competence to discuss the economics and feasibility of car manufacturing but it does seem that many cars are shipped all round the world presumbaly making a profit.

    The mass car manufacturers in the UK are called Honda, Nissan, Vauxhall, BMW
    If it was profitable I would guess they would build more here.

    Trade doesn't require a deal deal, it just requires mutually beneficial trade.

    But for how much longer....
    Left is never right but I always am.

    Some reasonable comedy has come out of it all (aimed at us rather than with us though!):

    'I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my father. Not screaming and terrified like his passengers.' (Bob Monkhouse).

    Sky? Believe in better.

    Note: win, draw or lose (not 'loose' - opposite of tight!)

    -money that we sent to eu will end here somewhere
    -chance for immigration control
    -chance for far less red tape
    -less danger of being forced to act contrary to our interests geo politically , more local government and as a result
    more engaged population.
    The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
    Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.

    Doing our own trade deals with the world, and there plenty examples of these taking a matter of months, certainly under two years, which means greater prosperity for us

    You do have to wait until after Brexit to start these negotiations. That is a wonderful opportunity for us!
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    Negotiations will begin shortly. The EU has not been able to get Austria and others to obey the rules on barbed wire fences... rules are merely slight obstacles

    If you were in WW2, would you have been as unimaginative and cowardly as you are over the EU wheeler dealing? One of those that said Radar would never work, that Rommel could not be defeated in N Africa!

    When you watch WW2 documentaries who do you admire, those that endlessly threw thier hands up in dispair and defeat?

    The defeatist half full mentality never one a single battle
