BREXIT

[VNA]

Why the need for common laws to trade? We traded with Europe long before we joined the EU

You can’t have a common market without common rules.  It is not possible.  Simple.
As I have pointed out numerous times, the EU is 28 countries with one single market place.  What we had before was 28 sperate laws, 28 separate customs, 28 separate standards, and so on and so on.  I have no idea why we would not want to be part of that.

And whatever sort of BREXIT we get, though my money has always been on article 50 eventually being binned, we will have to continue to abide with EU rules if we wish to tarde with them.  But we will have no say or influence in those rules.

Free movement across europe? Weve always had it before we joined the EU. I took several continental holidays in the late 60s, just had to show a passport, thats all. 

You had no right to live, work or retire there.  That’s what we have now.
