Why do we need to copy them when we can rejoin them in EFTA and then do what we should have done in 1973.By saying if the EU wants to trade with EFTA then trade.If it doesn’t then do one. :imp: :unamused:

Total and utter Zb

We can stand on our own as a trading nation…we let in and let stay those and only those that benefit our country… which should be passed into parliament on the opening session on September…so flip-flops start booking your coach… cheaper if you book early

We don’t need to copy Norway or Switzerland. We need to copy the British Empire.

Maritime Trading Nation par excellence.

Less trade routes with the EU that we lose money on anyway (take away a minus - you get a plus on the balance sheet)
More trade routes of our own choosing with the rest of the world. (Add a plus - you get more than what you started with on the balance sheet)

We need to get away from this mentality that Britain “cannot get any better than what it is now”, or “cannot face trading with the most lucrative trade partners” - when we’re already trading with Saudi Arabia for example.

Most people are agreed that Slavery was what made the British Empire “bad” in the first instance. Who’s to say a slavery-lite version isn’t the answer to all our problems now?

This isn’t a nationalist argument - it’s an argument for “better quality of life”. :wink:

Did we ever get an explanation from this guy btw as to “Why interest rates need to be ramped up sharply”?

I thought not. :unamused:

Show me four reasons why a “mortgaged householder hater” would have us “remain” - and I’ll show you one public enemy who used to work for the Bank of England monetary policy committee. :smiling_imp:

The height of the British Empire wasn’t exactly a paradise for the average working class Brit.

You seem to be saying that the answer to the problems caused by non Fordist low wage economics is yet more imports from low wage countries ?.

As for ‘trade’ with Saudi that’s effectively a case of wasting loads of money and investment on producing ‘exports’ to them,paid for in return with our own money,paid to them for their over priced oil.A bit like exporting high value manufactured goods to India in exchange for tea and curry powder. :unamused:
