Dave,
it assumes that any savings on imports will be passed on to the consumer. We all know that this never happens.

Is that a fact or another of your vacuous whims Dave?
EU goods have a competitive advantage over non-EU imports because they do not incur tariffs.


Keith, sorry to appear to come in on the other side of the argument, but the above is an argument they also use. If we are purchasing from EU (except alcohol, tobacco & fragrances) we do not pay additional tariffs, but if the goods originated outside the EU, and enter the EU via a state other than UK, then any EU tariffs will already have been imposed, and hidden as a mark-up in the price we are paying. So although our bill for purchasing from EU may not show any tariff, it is there.
