David Davis The day after we vote to leave we hold all the cards and can choose the path we want. Michael Gove Getting out of the EU can be quick and easy, the UK holds most of the cards. John Redwood The FTA that we do with the EU should be one of the easiest in human history. Liam Fox I think we could very easily get a better trade deal than we have at the moment. Douglas Carswell Trade relations can be sorted out in an afternoon over a cup of tea. Gerald Batten One day these lying incompetents will be held to account for the damage they have inflicted and continue to inflict on the UK. We have seen the rule of law brushed aside with complete indifference across the entire UK. All these people you list will continue to sit pretty as they are massively rewarded come January 1st for having delivered what they set out to do - make a very small number of people even richer at the expense of an entire nation, and precisely nothing will come of it in terms of consequences for them. These parasites will continue to laugh in our faces and our Brexiteer friends will continue to cheer them on as we all pay through the nose for their lies. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the pound has lost 15 to 20% against almost every currency in the world? Increased shipping costs? Not to mention some fruit and veg cant be transported by sea because it will be rotten by the time it gets here. Ship it by air then! Yeah ok and that squares with cheaper food how? I am of course quite old and smelly, but I can quite clearly remember life in the UK before we joined the 'Common Market". As I recall food prices rose significantly when we joined. Prior to membership we traded widely all around the world, and I really cannot remember anything ( with the possible exception of Kiwifruit) which was not available. Just about everything which we consume, if presently supplied from within the EU, can be sourced from elsewhere. It may take some time to set up the trade, but it can be done. I also suspect that the European producers, faced with the loss of a lucrative market of 60 million + consumers, will make pretty damn sure that there ability to sell competitively into that market is not hampered by EU imposed restrictions! Of course if "Dimitriv" and his ilk have their way, and the tunnel is bricked up, the ports blockaded and no-one or nothing is allowed in or out then the apocalyptic predictions of empty shelves and supermarket queues may come true - ironically in Ireland, (an EU member) which is particularly dependent on trade with the UK! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The country you are raising to the skies in every single comment is on the brink of an economical breakdown/shutdown. Look at the pound, look at the pound.
