Can someone please explain to me, in really basic terms why the holy mother of fuck, EU countries would sign favourable trade deals with a country who has categorically decided "we're better than you, you are not welcome here, we do not like your club, we do not want your club". But can we have a really nice profitable deal to trade with you please?
Can someone explain how that works.
If I have a Liverpool season ticket - I get some kind of small discount per ticket for being a member. Same with my golf club membership - £500 per year - or £40 per round. YOu get a better deal because you're a member. All really simple. I can't turn around to my golf club and refuse membership but ask for a round for £10 just because I'm special. They'd just tell me to go and fuck myself or pay the membership fee. I could be an idiot, I'm no expert on politics, but trying to negotate with people you've pissed off isn't a great place to start.
I also cannot stand the message it sends by all this - that you're not welcome in this country. Frankly I don't believe anyone has any divine right to anywhere. But I'm very relaxed about this sort of thing. I'd let everyone in, but I'm aware I'm in the minority on that.
Why would EU Countries happily agree a better deal than we had before EU membership? And don't say "AUDI WILL STILL SELL US CARS" - Yes I'm aware - of course they will. That's not the point. The point in English companies selling into the EU will then incur charges, so they'll buy from fellow EU countries to avoid tax, thereofre loss of business. I'm sick to fucking death of hearing that line trotted out.
I'll end this by saying I own my own business and I'll earn more money from Brexit, and I still don't want it.
