My 3 Point Plan For Brexit.....

[ToraToraTora]

Dear EU,

1) we are not paying any more money
2) we will do trade deals with you and mirror any anti trade measures you take.
3) If you want a border in ROI build one on your land.
Good bye.

[Zacs-Master]

You can make blanket statements about mirroring / matching trade deals if they’re not beneficial to the industry in question, Tora. We export and import different things, mainly. How can you mirror a deal on different products and services?

[ToraToraTora]

simple they put a tarrif on our exports we do the same to theirs. Why is that so difficult to understand? They slap 20% on our widgets, their beamers and mercs get 20% dearer, geddit?

[Zacs-Master]

what if a 20% tariff on our widgets made the widget and allied industries go bankrupt?

[ToraToraTora]

That's what happens in trade wars. I'd hope not to have to do it, I'd hope the EU could see sense, I doubt their main businesses would want a trade war because of political pygmies like Juncket and barmpot.

[Zacs-Master]

That’s what happens in trade wars? What, one country faces bankruptcy?
I’ve just given a practical example of why your number 2 is a pile of number 2 and that’s your best answer?

[ToraToraTora]

no both sides have casualties, as in any war. That's why it's common sense to avoid them.

[ToraToraTora]

why do you think a trade war would only hurt us?

[Zacs-Master]

But it’s your own proposal. Now your saying it’s common sense to avoid such scenarios......which is what I’ve been saying all along.

Your crackers.

[Zacs-Master]

Who said it would only hurt us? Not me. The effect on our industries would hurt us the most.

[ToraToraTora]

no, you are deliberately skewing it. I said we'd mirror them, if they do nothing we do nothing. They will know what the effect of anything they do will be in advance, thus, hopefully they won't do it see? It's like MAD with trade, geddit?

[Gromit]

I agree.
Your point 2. Is MAD.
1 and 3 are nonsense too.

[Zacs-Master]

They won’t know what the effect will be because it’s different goods and services. What’s so hard to understand?

[ToraToraTora]

so gromit you think that we should not retaliate if the EU slap tarrifs on us? right oh, that confirms where your loyalties lie.

[ToraToraTora]

ZM, it's like nailing jelly to the wall, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Shame you cannot be honest instead of all this Obtuse BS. Good night.

[Zacs-Master]

Tora, my points are very clear, concise and logical. I’m not the one proposing unworkable tariff deals and likening trade to nuclear war. The only jelly like thing is your thought processes. Read em back in the morning when you’re sober.

[jim360]

We're already in one un-necessary trade war. I'm not sure we could stomach another.

[KARL]

Fascinating. People (Brexit supporters) who say they want to retake control of the UK's borders want the EU to raise the only border controls on the Eire/NI border (to monitor/control entry into the EU) and the UK to have none (no control of entry into NI/UK). Have I misunderstood or is this really the gibberish it appears to be ?

[Gromit]

No Karl, that really is their position.

Vote Leave and reclaim our borders, no wait... we can’t be as5ed.
