*** OFFICIAL BREXIT SUNLIT UPLANDS and #MEGA THREAD ***

I'm talking about the countries who are prioritising whether to make a deal with us or with the EU.

Ok, but this is going to depend on what they want to buy. If they want cars, they'll deal with the EU. If they want salmon or whiskey, they'll deal with us.

I think you're confusing the Brexit lie that we'd be getting rid of all the EU red tape with the reality that if we trade with the EU from outside the EU, there's going to be more red tape.

The "less red tape" argument doesn't apply to the EU. It applies to non-EU. How can there be less red tape if there are two sets of regulations to abide by?

We voted to leave the EU, we were told, partly because of all the red tape.

Partly, yes. But that should mean a shift of focus from EU to non-EU markets.

Right.

How many free trade deals do we have with other countries right now, do you know? I mean ones with no red tape. Is it worth 47% of our exports yet?

I mean, I care about democracy too. If our democratic will is to be a member of the EU, so be it. I have no choice but to accept it. But it's not. We don't want it. Frankly I wish the remainers would finally accept it and stop fucking whining. That isn't a dig at you, I don't know if you're all over Twitter shouting this stuff or if it's reserved for our little club of four or five people. I'm quite happy to talk about it with you for years on end, it's not like we're trying to appeal to an audience. But if you're on social media telling any Brexit voter who will listen that they're an idiot or whatever, well I guess that dig does apply to you.

EU Imperial Army headed for Moscow?

idk about an Imperial army, but Merkel has talked about a common army, and a common foreign policy might happen too. No thanks. Our foreign policy is dreadful enough as it is, but at least we fucking vote for it.
