oxymoron
its not a common market without rules and regs.
the EU took all the different regulations and put them into one single rule book
and once it had done that everybody could trade without having to have checks at the borders...you know like transit documents, customs declarations, vet inspections.
the Single Market front loads the red tape...so that businesses can then sell and buy with no barriers.
EU is our biggest trading partner by a country mile
UK businesses export a lot there
UK businesses import a lot from there
Brexiters somehow think there's an advantage buying stuff from thousands of miles away
For what reason other than being childish?
Maybe because Europeans care more about their people than the UK does?Just tell us why we can’t just sell to them and buy from them without all the other rules and regs?
That's not my point..... its making our EU friends aware of how important we are to them.
Nowhere near as important as they are to us.
But we dumped them.
"Please don't go" they said.
Mottie doesn't care.
Ive just cracked open a bottle of Chianti to breathe....
it goes perfectly with Saint Agur
Maybe because Europeans care more about their people than the UK does?
But hey, enjoy the unmarked US crap that is coming your way...
I hear it's additives might make you a bigger tit(s) than you already are
and userping power from the member states, all that can be achieved without becoming protectionist, all that can be achieved without trying to be a 'pretend superpower'.
US food standards are among the highest in the world
The EU is not protectionist.......perhaps you can provide any evidence to show EU is more protectionist than any other trade bloc or country.
I'm growing Avocado plants. I only have 2 at the moment but I'll have more.
Once my garden is no longer big enough I'll get an allotment. When my allotment is no longer big enough I'll talk with my local farmers.
There are no British Avocados.... Long live the British Avocado....
