General Discussion
And I am merely asking you to tell the rest of us just how many countries the Uk presently trades with via the EU and how many, and which, countries we presently trade with on WTO rules. Please quote your source(s) when you respond.
I was merely pointing out that, as ever, you cannot trust a word the BBC says.
Okay then Burneside. Can you tell us all just how many countries it is that the UK presently trades with via the EU and how many we presently trade with on WTO rules. and on the matter of reality checks............just how real were all those claims made by the Leave campaign back in 2016?
Ah, BBC Reality Check. Which just the other week was telling people that the 1975 referendum was all about whether we should join the EEC. Not much of a reality check, is it? Must be written by teenage interns.
We are already a globally trading nation!! "the UK trades with 24 countries and territories under WTO rules alone. With 68 others it has, as part of the EU, free trade agreements, either fully or partly in place, which all enable trade on better terms." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41859691
Forget the EU with it's broken economies, we are going global.
A visa to enter the USA for a British passport holder presently costs 14 USD (that presently converts to just over £11.00) per person and lasts for two years (or less than that if the passport runs out before the two year period is reached).
According to The Sun this fee will cost £6.00 per person and will be valid for three years. Can't see that causing a nation wide boycott of EU countries by Brits. How much is a packet of 20 cigarettes these days?
There will be a travel fee payable by EU citizens who want to travel to EU countries after bexit. Well don't go, and see which one of the 27 would cracked first and drop the travel fee.
They have done a second one the reason to clear the power lines.
