"That pre-supposes that we have to buy goods from the EU, rather than buying from those countries which actually produce the goods."

Great. I can't wait to try that Venezuelan Prosecco, that Gambian chorizo, that Mexican bratwurst, that Chilean Camembert, that Falkland Brie, that Peruvian VW Golf, that Indonesian Chianti, that Alaskan ouzo, that Namibian lamb, that Bolivian salami...

We will be buying stuff from the EU for decades, brexit regardless. We can't suddenly scrap half of our trade. We don't have deals with other potential trading partners and we are a very small fish. No king, no country, no Biggles, no empire, Nige. You have yet to come to terms. Typical Tory.
