Here’s fun – if the British Government had given every single British fisherman £1 million it would have cost us less than we’ve wasted fighting for our ‘Fishing Rights’ (worth less than 5% to the Economy).
As for the ‘Canada-type Deal’ – The ‘Canada-type Deal’ is a Free Trade Deal between Canada and the EU – like we used to have when we were in the EU. Canada trades by adhering to EU ‘rules’ and EU trades adhering to Canadian ‘rules’.
Hate to Rain on your Parade, but every single Trade Deal we make involves having to adhere to the other country’s rules. Sell car parts to Japan? Then they have to adhere to Japanese standards. Want to export meat to the EU? Then it will have to meet EU standards.
If we don’t want to be in the EU because we don’t want to trade by EU rules then we have to Trade using other ‘rules’ – WTO rules = tariffs. If WTO rules are so wonderful how come the only other country trading under them is Mauritania.
