Oh?

its not as simple as that. First of all it all UK based companies will lose their ability to bid for contracts and tenders within the EU market. Secondly if tariffs are introduced then all products coming from the UK will become more expensive for Europeans to buy. The prices will get higher if tariffs are introduced on semi finished products (ex car parts needed to assemble a car).
Nah bollocks, the computer revolution and robotics revolution Is what drove growth, she got lucky and so did Reagan
I think you've got your decades mixed up.
I didn't, the first desktop pc was introduced in 1975, it would have taken time for that innovation to spread. The first microprocessor driven robot was also demonstrated in 1975.
I'm very much on the liberal side of things, but to be fair I think she presided over a push away from union power that was probably needed at the time. Obviously they went far too far with it, but I think things generally get fecked if the needle tilts too far in either direction. Britain really was a mess economically back in the 70's.
It was needed, just the manner in which it was executed was despicable. Maybe Cameron should have sought change in the EU by sending in mounted police to bash them all round the head, seems to work.
I think some sort of tariffs will be involved. Unless of course the UK backtracks to an EU/EEA membership
You could have a tariff free world, they're only there for protectionism.
Nothing wrong with a bit of protectionism, all things in moderation
That's not something the UK can decide on the EU behalf
Correct but if I wanted to trade with you and you likewise we'd just do it. Ebay stylee
I thought you were European?
that can happen if there's a level playing field and the UK remains a member of the EU/EEA. It doesn't seem to be the case. The UK chose to leave the EU so it can change its rules and a change in relationship has an impact on everything including trade
Indeed, the world could be tariff free and the eu could stick with tariffs. That would be better.
Actually the EU score low in terms of protectionist measures. The most protectionist countries happen to be the US (and that's before Trump took over) followed by India, two countries Theresa May had been wagging her tail at for quite some time in a bid of getting that bold free trade deal of hers.
But who cares about those markets. There's always Nigeria and Saudi Arabia to make a free trade agreement with

There are always better deals out there than with the dirty old men of europe.
'Dirty old men of Europe'? Seriously, what the feck? Did the EU touch you in a bad place or something?
It's especially incredible considering how much of Britain's eldery population are actually having their arse cleaned by a European nurse right now. But then, what else can you expect from someone wh prefers living in an EU nation and constantly shittalks the UK.
Americas economic progress under Reagan was moreso due to Volcker. Reagan's fiscal policy was reckless to say the least. But... getting some people to change the views they haven't already committed in this thread is futile (and frustrating). In general, homemade economists are dangerous and usually dense.
The Vatican doesn't do trade deals (I think)
On a serious note, May's idea of parallel talks (divorce and trade deal) had been shot down by the EU who prefers an orderly divorce then to make a trade deal with the UK. A trade deal with the UK scores low in the EU agenda

Ahhh the classic 'we don't need European trade we can trade elsewhere' line. Tell that to all the UK companies dependent on an EU customer base that don't have a demand elsewhere in the world. There's allot of them.
Having lived for almost 10 years in Milan and about 2 in London, I must say this is the first major difference I've noticed. No beggars. In Italy, you have them everywhere, from bus stops, tube, to knocking on your door sometimes.
Yes it is. It is probably the most profitable business in Eastern Europe, especially Romania.
I don't know... I suspect they have some supply chain in place to ensure a plentiful supply of vulnerable children
Didn't British politicians vote to prevent info about peado politicians being released. I remember something along those lines. Dirty old men.
Whatever you're selling to devilish, I'll produce it in China and sell it at 80% of your price and flood the market with that product and you'll never sell it again to devilish
Yeah, fair point. Maybe when the EU have a decades long paedo scandal they can deserve the title too.
@The Black Pearl Do you get money from the EU? If yes, is it a difficult process?
I will cos i have an agreement with him, no tariffs and no chinese involvement. Just civilised business.
Why would you have an agreement with him in particular?
Agreement for what , one contract. If there are no tariffs and regulations anywhere how do you stop the chinese product invading the market. Business is cut-throat
I could be wrong but it sounds like an agreement to not buy products from other sellers which is a protectionist agreement and of the worst kind.
He's my favourite maltese poster
Having an agreement with someone to supply a product is fine and that it could be exclusive is fine but that would be for a limited period and if the agreement is tariff-free then suppliers from the same country as devilish would have the same rights.
I think Stan is advocating tariff free worldwide which sounds nice but is unworkable as you lose control and becomes one of Stan's pet hates, a race to the bottom.
Devilish is in the eu and has agreed to pay billions to china not to produce anything, the farmer model its called.
No, but seriously what would be the economical reason for an exclusive agreement?
