@Paul_C He said country, so his numbers are correct. Only thing is that the country of 17 million has ACCESS to a market of 450 million, while the country of 65 million has only access to a market of 65 Million.

Well, maybe take a look at the book Blood on the streets, written by Rees-Moggs father? It is a get rich quick scheme following several steps (and already exercised in countries like Russia): 1. destabilize a nation so it goes bankrupt 2. force it to sell its valuables (infrastructure, health care system...) for cheap 3. buy them 4. Wait till the economy starts growing again and your assets increase in value 5. become an almighty oligarch Of course this only works if you are already in a position of power and wealth (like being a minister of the cabinet and having a couple of hundred million in your bank account...).

TheNewblackdog You have two errors in your thought process. First, it is not the City which underwrites EU debt, but banks which are based in the city. But these banks are mostly foreign, and WANT TO KEEP THIS BUSINESS: therefor, they would rather move to the EU (and they do) than losing it. Second, the EU will always be UK´s most important market to buy and sell, due to two the only two reasons that matter in global trade: market size and geography. Where else would the UK buy from?

@yellfire Actually, the UK lost 50% of its daily trade, which is worth 9bn a day: It pushed London into second place, with average daily trading halving from €17.5bn to €8.6bn last month, according to data released by the CBOE exchange. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/feb/11/amsterdam-overtakes-london-as-europes-top-share-trading-centre 50% loss of trade is huge.

TheNewblackdog Oh, and you are spreading misinformation: The UK is not the largest purchaser of cut flowers. USA is. Second place is Germany. https://oec.world/en/profile/hs92/cut-flowers?redirect=true

TheNewblackdog funny how the EU already has a trade deal with most of CPTPP and ASEAN, as well as negotiating with Australia and NZ. So what you call Future, the EU calls present.

The EU is protectionist? I mean, a bank based in Amsterdam has more access to the markets of 26 other countries than a bank based in New York has in 49 other states.

TheNewblackdog I am not quoting, I am presenting you a source. So what about you do the same? The UK is not Germany`s third largest export market anymore (that was 2016), but fifth. UK is also only third in cars import from Germany, behind USA and China. And again, where else would the UK buy? The only place that produces Champagne is France.
