  1.  @ElectricInevitability  The EU is a 16 trillion market and a giant beside the US with 20 trillion and China with 12 trillion. The UK is a 2 trillion economy with a long way to look up to The giants.

  4.  @TheJohndoes1  44% of UK exports go into the EU. 70% of fish caught by British vessels is exported in the EU. The UK is a 2 trillion economy, the EU is a 16 trillion economy.

  5.  @TheJohndoes1  As trading conditions with other countries are full of red tape and with higher tariffs this is a funny idea.

  6.  @TheJohndoes1  You can't as with tariffs and paperwork on top British fish in no longer competitive.

  7.  @TheJohndoes1  The countries you sell to makes the tariffs. The UK gets the same tariffs as any other third country they have no trade treaty with. These are WTO rules. So the 70% of fish the UK exports faces paperwork, tariffs, import duties, healthy checks and so on.

  8.  @TheJohndoes1  By the way the UK has to import more then 40% of its food. The UK do not eat the 70% fish exported to the EU, the people in the UK prefer cheaper fish. So in real life the UK faces tariffs for every export as a third country without a trade treaty.

  9.  MrKingdig  The US surely enjoys a servant. They already made clear that the UK has to bend over the barrel and submit for a trade treaty. A 20 trillion economy tells a 2 trillion economy their term of surrender.

  10.  MrKingdig  40% of UK exports go the the EU and another 16% through EU trade treaties. So 60% of UK exports depend on the EU.

  11.  MrKingdig  As the UK imports most of its fish and sells most of the fish catched by British vessels to the EU the fishing industry will go bust if they face tariffs.
