Is there? The world GDP (Ie. all the value in economic terms) is 135 trillion, China, the EU, US and India account for 78 trillion, that leaves under 60 trillion, but the EU already has (free) trade agreements in place or is in negotiation with China, India, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, South Korea, Canada, Thailand, Egypt and many others... that is about 30 trillion of that 60. How is the UK going to make money out of the remaining 30 trillion in your opinion? You're in a bubble of ignorance about the state of the world, if that means I am frit, whatever that may be, than so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the view of the former boss of the WTO carries no weight. Right........... I guess he’s one of those pesky foreigners too But, any comment on his views about being in division 4 of the WTO? As for shoes go to Wynsors world of shoes or shoezone. No shortage whatsoever of shoes made in the Far East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice distraction from the matter in hand....;) We changed our leader in 1940 when there were more pressing matters in hand than today. We will know tonight whether we are going to have a new Prime Minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car Boot Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I voted Leave in the June 2016 People's Vote to give the poor a pay rise and it seems this is exactly what has happened.I sincerely believe that if I had voted for the status quo, for Remain, I would have given Goldman Sachs a pay rise. But I could never support the EU gravy train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamy is one of the most respected voices on world trade. You’re talking utter twaddle The point about the shoes is nobody is stopping imports of shoes from outside the EU. If you like Italian shoes then with Brexit they’re going to cost you more. You seem confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
