David,
The very idea that being able to buy French wine and cheese, Spanish and Italian cured meats, Polish sausage, German cars, Dutch and Belgian fruit and vegetables is a drain is laughable beyond comprehension.

Then something is lacking in your comprehension David. We buy their stuff but they do not want ours, so we need to sell our stuff elsewhere. Non-EU countries already buy lots of our stuff and will by more when we can offer them free trade.

BWM, must you put so much "shit" in your posts. It is unpleasant and must deter people from expressing a view you may not hold.
the degree to which we will be able to lower standards after the insanity of BrexShit…
We can raise, lower or maintain them because we will be in control not Brussels. No-one wants lower standards.
