    And im absolutely certain that we will abide by the necessary rules allowing us to continue to sell and buy from the EU with no tariffs, all this without the need of bringing back slavery as you would like us to believe...

    Can you explain how that will work then.

    What trade agreement is it we have in place that allows us to do that without the deal currently being negotiated?

    Can you explain what these 'rules' are you're so certain we are in compliance with?

    Matt L reminds me of John Redwood on Any Questions trying to tell Jurgen Maier how he should manage Siemens business.

    Hi Hamish. Still waiting to hear about all those thousands of lobster fishermen who are going to lose their jobs. Some of us do actually acknowledge when we get facts incorrect.

    So frustrating reading the entrenched leave/remain positions above! Everyone convinced that there is only one right way forward and those on the other side are naive/thick/evil...

    Life is full of choices, once these are made, things change and you move forward making the best of the new situation.

    The one thing certain about the future (any future) is that trading conditions will change, markets will change, rules will change, entrepreneurs will adapt to new conditions and thrive. If you don’t like to read Adam Smith, go read Darwin! :)

    Yeah, I'm guilty of it too, but I don't think there's any way the 2 sides in this will agree on much.

    But I reckon the sooner we do something the sooner we can start moving on.

    Entrepreneurship can be found (and can be nurtured) in all sectors of society and across all political persuasions, so your pic is as likely to represent an entrepreneur as any other random pic of the UK population.

    So why change anything then? Those types promised us a wonderful future. Do you think it will happen?
