As soon as the referendum had taken place the EU worked towards replacing list trade with the U.K. and has achieved that within 2-3 years.

They won’t feel the effect at all.

I see the Telegraph - that bastion of Brexit is calling it a “historic failure” and something that is inflicting real damage to our economy.

We have failed to negotiate any trade deal of value. And those we have existed when we were members of the EU.

So no the EU have already mitigated against any loss of trade with the U.K., whilst we are reeling from our competence.

It would hurt, quite a lot. But then they could just adjust and forget about the UK and do very well selling and buying from each other, with Schengen, no borders, no paperwork, and with no tariffs- and a great variety of conditions and climates within to provide all they need. And labour too. What do you think?

And could of course control everything and everyone that comes in or out of UK.
