We cannot get trade deals signed until we leave the EU. We can agree them in principle, but we would be foolish to make details of them available to all & sundry (except with agreement just to be able to emphasise the point of their possibility)

No. But as stated Liam Fox said there would be 40 ready to sign the day after the original March leaving date. By that time there were only 3 ready.
So WTO terms with all but 3 countries until that was sorted. That's would seriously impact the economy.

There aren’t. The government admit this. They aren’t keeping it a secret. You are being delusional to try and stop yourself accepting the issues related to Brexit.

Thought you'd left.

Keep up Clint, back in the summer it was said there were 12 of 40 continuity agreements in place & recently 15 with a further 6 expected to be rolled over should we leave on 31st October.

And now you will start boring us about how much of our current trade that will be worth. Please don't though...we all know it will leave us short & impact the economy. It will impact others too...and I would still be surprised if no deal was reached

That's right...tell all those Syrian (to name but one) migrants that. Weapons always seem to find easy passage across borders too...have you noticed that? That's because borders are pretty soft in general Mexico-USA is probably the hardest I can think of, but where there is a will there is a way - & it will be found

Honest answer for once?

Is Switzerland part of the single market?

Unlucky. You have already been truthful.

So you don't have to be a full member to have different rights. This means things can be negotiated. It isn't just in or out as you constantly make out.

Yes I agree different solutions bring different problems. But as Switzerland shows it isn't one size fits all. But nothing can happen until negotiations start. And after 3 and half years they still haven't started. Would you like to explain why?

No thanks, you’ve just made up more opinions of mine. The fact you’re having so much trouble understanding the difference considering he UK’s self imposed red lines and the differences between the two countries situations is quite bizarre.

Tell the Syrians that you can’t have an open border for goods? You’re making no sense whatsoever. I know you really, really want Brexit to work, and there are ways that it can, but there’s no point just denying reality and playing make believe.

I did leave, but I've revisited the thread. Didn't realise you were a moderator, you're quite welcome to ban me if so.
And how much those continuity deals are worth is relevant, because not one of them is with a major economy, (perhaps with the exception of Switzerland and South Korea), which you've stated yourself.

It was all known about well in advance. But the politicians of the day were too scared to tell us the truth. We covered this in detail before. We voted on remaining in the EEC because it was all about trade.

Then after the vote the truth slowly came out. It was dripfed slowly. The EEC slowly became the EU. But it was all planned many years before.

Thus was immediately after, amd followed previous discussion. As it's not what i was looking for, I wasn't going to bother finding the earlier articles.

But there is a reinvention going on after 45 years. Things were mentioned... tgat haven't even happened!

Switzerland is a member of EFTA and Schengen you mentalist that’s a big difference from what we want and as I’ve already pointed out to you that’s a well trodden path.

You and Grendull spent god knows how many pages loosing your shit at anyone who said that French wanting to sell us cheese and wine and Germany wanting to sell us cars was not the ace in the pack that gave us the upper hand in negotiations. So yes, you’ve changed your tune. In fact I predict that you’re about to change it again as per your usual MO.

The Mexico-US border is only hard in one direction. America virtually waves everyone through entering Mexico. El Paso has the most gun shops per capita than any other town in America. Reason being Americans buy guns legally in El Paso, cross the border unchecked and then sell the gun on the illegal Mexican black market at a profit. The irony being it’s fuelled gun crime in Mexico contributing to the flow of migrants trying to enter the USA illegally to escape the organised crime and dangers that go with that.

Yes???

The vote was stay as we are or change. We know what stay as we are means cos we are already there.

I can’t help but feel that only Remainers take Brexit seriously. Leavers seem to think it’s some giant game of gotcha.

it takes an average of 18 months to negotiate a trade deal and just short of 4 years to implement, (that's based on US negotiations with its partners). This has all been posted on this thread before but people just choose to ignore the facts.

What? They are the number of rollover agreements, to continue trading as we do currently, with said countries post-Brexit. They aren't new deals because we cannot sign new deals yet.

I am back at that point where i am thinking 'fuck it, let it happen'.
Let all these cocksure 'fuck the experts' clowns reap what they sow. They certainly don't listen to reason so i think the only thing that might, just might, weaken their resolve is to let all the shit hit all the fans.
Pre-2016 something like 6% of people thought membership of the eu concerned them. Now, it's probably close to 100. Something has to give. Let them have their precious brexit.

But we can negotiate new deals and have them ready to sign, we were told this would happen, quite clearly it hasn't and isn't going to, (which is to be expected when we don't know the terms of our exit), so when we leave the economy is going to take a battering.
Government spending is already up and expected to increase even more significantly in the case of no deal. Clearly the outlook isn't good.

On the BBC news they've just referred to Merkel as "torpedoing" the deal and that she's "blown it out of the water"

It’s not history. It’s happening now. America’s gun laws are directly contributing to gun crimes in Mexico which in turn makes people want to leave Mexico for America. The flow of guns has also made the gangs formidable and powerful so they can organise smuggling rings into America for drugs and people to cross the border. America is arming and facilitating the very people they’re building a wall to keep out.

Which is exactly the point I’ve made. Three years on and we still haven’t completed this relatively easy process, relatively easy especially compared to negotiating a new trade deal. That’s before you even get into the discussion about we have to leave the EU to make free trade agreements with the rest of the world yet here we are attempting to copy and paste some 40 odd trade agreements covering some 70 odd countries we already had as EU members. If we leave at the end of the month we’d have less free trade agreements than we had as EU members and by some margin.
