    We're the EU's largest export market. It's inaccurate at best to compare Britain with Greenland or Switzerland. As much as people would like you believe otherwise, we do have quite a bit of clout.

    Ah, so we're back to having a go at the poor and homeless then.

    I remember back in the 70's we called them tramps and threw stones at them.

    It's poverty. Most of the worlds problems are about poverty.

    The Swiss thought the EU would come knocking at their door because the trade balance was in the EU favour, it never happened.

    These aren't the "tramps" of the 70s that you threw stones at. These are Romanian gypsies in London.

    And?

    The world changes, the world stays the same, it's poverty.

    Yes, but the UK is not Switzerland. The UK is far more important as a trading partner.

    Re: Norway have no probs at all

    I don't see us having any worries dealing with other countries outside the EU...... So how much beef and lamb do we sell to the USA? absolutely none.
    Now try getting a better deal outside the EU. I think not.

    That's a bet you'll have to take, but if you get it wrong we're all ****ed for a long time.
