Re: Where are the Brexit fans?
"As a country we are relying less and less on EU imports. The amount we import from the EU is falling each year. We import a lot of our fresh fruit from Africa and south America, yet we are not allowed to make trade deals with countries outside the EU."
No wonder you posted this anonymously because its total rubbish.
We have over 700 trade deals with countries outside the EU as a result of being part of that bloc. What trade deals are we currently missing?
Reality is that three trade areas set the global market standards, the US, China and the EU. Once you are outside those you have no power, influence or say and you are dependent on co-operative support at the WTO if something doesn't work for you.
As for this:
"for example, the police should not be driving around in cars imported from Korea when we make cars in this country."
All those foreign owned car makers building stuff from imported parts, once rules of origin become an issue for export you are going to be left with Caterham and Ariel Motors for your Brexit approved plod mobiles, as long as they don't stick the Honda engines in them!
