Whereas you think comparing the EU to Nazi concentration camp guards or the Soviet Union obviously only shows the UK in the best possible light.....

A remainer telling a Brexiter what they supposedly think. How unusual - and how wrong. Again. As is usual.

This is a good example. Lots of narrative; no substance.

Well look at past examples in here; there's no point putting meat on the bones when remainers are obviously vegan.
If anybody is still ignorant regarding how Tusk is seen is his native Poland a quick look will educate.

So how do you feel about those comments from senior UK politicians then?

But it wouldn't automatically get us zero tariffs from anyone - there's no built in reciprocity.
We'd need to arrange a FTA to get tariff free/checking trade in both directions, but being that everyone else has tariff free trade for goods going to us, what's the incentive for them to open up their markets to us?

I dont have a problem with raising money from tariffs, better than increasing income tax.
But some do argue that it means cheaper goods for consumers. To me, there are too many products shipped from the other side of the world, tax free.


Ask the big retailers how they can compete with goods coming into the country and paying zero tax.


China export around £50 billion worth of goods to the UK, whilst we export around £10 billion to them.

Its almost unheard of for either the Japanese government or Japanese Business to express opinions on other nations' politics.

The fact both have complained about Brexit now shows how worried the Japanese are and should make Brexiter's blood run cold.

Japan has sunk hundreds of millions of British pounds into investing in Britain, a global facing country that was part of the EU.

What do they think and what are they planning now Britain's foreign policy is being decided by a fractured weak government whose main aim is to pander to poorly educated gammons?

Would any of these be as senior as a President who is the principal representative for the leaders of twenty-eight countries as well as the President of the European Commission?

Other Japanese companies aren't bothered because just in the past month or so Asahi spent £250 million buying Fullers and NTT Data spent £100 million on UK offices and an "innovation centre".

So Japan is still investing millions in the UK.
It looks like somebody is trying really, really hard to say "Brexit is bad!" when the reality is that just like always the news doesn't go all one way, they is a mix of good and bad.

Just like HMV, which went "bang" and would close with 2.200 jobs gone.
But now 27 shops will close & 455 jobs will go - because a Canadian company has bought it!
Canadian, so it looks like they aren't too concerned by your Brexit worries either.

Brexit. Watch British companies being sold off on the cheap to foreigners.

Is that part of taking back control as well?
