Europeans thank Tory Britain

[JohnD]

cheap delivery is perhaps a component of efficient trade.

But Free Trade has a well-understood meaning. Trade without tariffs or non-tariff barriers.

 

[Brigadier]

You should have used "Free trade" then. Like I have already said, I was commenting on what I was commenting on.

 

[JohnD]

eh?

the means of delivery has no relation to the freedom of trade, or to tariff- or non-tariff barriers.

Practically, it does.

 

[Brigadier]

(Clue: it's the bit on the left of the "or").

 

[JohnD]

What are you on about?

 

[Brigadier]

Do your own words confuse you so much?

 

[JohnD]

all it requires is for country leaders to say 'yes' to free trade

How sad that countries have pretty universally found themselves unable to do it.

It = Free Trade

Very true. The internet and mass transport shipping have finally made it a likely inevitability, and is making much of the EUs raison detre obsolete.

And here's Gerry claiming that better technology leads to "it" so that the EU's Single Market (the epitome of free trade) is becoming obsolete.

Which I refute

the means of delivery has no relation to the freedom of trade, or to tariff- or non-tariff barriers.

and up you roll, talking about cheap delivery.

Which is not the same thing.
