This is frightening.

James O'Brien, What Trading On WTO Rules Actually Means: An Expert's Alarming Explanation. After this expert told James O'Brien exactly what would happen if Britain starts trading under WTO rules, his response was really concerning. "I knew this wasn't going to be pretty," he said, "but I didn't think it was going to be this ugly." Bryce Baschuk, a Bloomberg Correspondent writing specifically about the World Trade Organisation, explained the process for trading on WTO, which Britain would need to do if we leave the EU without a trade deal. Leading Brexiteers insist that this would be an opportunity for the country, as many countries already trade on these rules with no problem. But Bryce explained how it would work - and as James says, it isn't pretty. Describing the positives of WTO rules, he said: "Ideally, the UK would be able to strike new free trade deals with countries such as the US that it believes it wouldn't be able to do with the European Union. "In addition, it would have the freedom to not be beholden to the European Court of Justice and have more independence or sovereignty over its trading relations." But the method of getting there seems particularly difficult. Yesterday, both the UK and the EU filed documents in Geneva outlining the terms they will use to trade with the rest of the world after Brexit - and the two submissions are fundamentally different. Bryce explains: "The UK is currently a WTO member in its own right. The issue is it does not have an independent schedule of concessions for the WTO - that's the menu upon which Britain trades with the rest of the world. "It needs to have that if it's going to strike trade deals. And the way that its approach is different from that of the EU is the UK wants to replicate its current trade WTO commitments by making just a few technical changes and then submitting it to the WTO for certification." The problem is that the UK's terms at the WTO are enshrined in our membership of the EU, so this approach seems optimistic as our market will be smaller than the EU's market.

Yes Britain will be allowed to trade like any other EU member for a minimum of 2 years subject to EU approval (a formality) and not under WTO standards.

The reason why I believe this is a formality is because big business and corporations won't have it any other way and the EU is controlled by corporations. that is the entire reason for its existence.

That's scaremongering.

First, most countries trade under the WTO criteria. No agreement is required and that is the default standard.

But Britain will not need to do that for at least 2 years after BREXIT. So Britain has 2 years to come up with a FTD with the EU or default to WTO.

In the meantime, they will have set up FTDs with the USA, Australia, Canada, NZ and maybe even India.

There will be a vote of no confidence in parliament. The Clown loses and refuses to step down.( remember he is a Clown). Parliament advices the Queen. The Clown is " commanded " by the Queen to piss off.
He refuses and advices the idiots following him that he has now taken over from Her Majesty. He declares himself the ...King of England !! What a fucking mess !!
Paphitis then makes a post. LONG LIVE THE KING :x :lol: :D

'You are full of shit and have been always wrong because you clasp at straws so desperately.

BOJO can't remain after a vote of no confidence and I doubt he will break any laws so willfully and flippantly.

BOJO also has the right to see the QUEEN and ask her to defer the opening of Parliament scheduled for this September until after the 31st of October, to avoid any debate and votes of no confidence or deliberations on NO DEAL BREXIT and just proceed with the NO DEAL BREXIT without a day in Parliament. This is legal. He can do that.

And after 31st of October if he faces a no confidence vote then at the next election the Conservatives and UKIP will deliver such a crushing victory against Labor and the Lib Democrats. These 2 will probably go into coalition and form the next Government so we get BOJO back and the universal equilibrium is once again restored. :D

An idiot's vewpoint on Brexit !! PAPHITIS.
In the meantime Madam Sterling is crumbling, now at 1.064, it looks as if the Fat Lady will soon start singing.
GDP down for the first time since 2012, recession very much on the cards, how will Sterling fare? On par with Euro or below.
At UK airports the pound is now well below one euro, If the peasants are lucky they may soon have a Clown as their .....King and Fuckrage as the PM. What a fucking mess !!

BOJO is certainly kicking some goals with his BREXIT approach.

Latest IPSOS POLLS: :D

Conservatives 34% up 9%
Labour 24% down 3%
Liberal democrats 20% up 5%
BREXIT 9% down 7%
GRN 6% down 1%

Read it and weep Miltiades! 8) Looks like there are lots of people that agree with my views. :D

Now, on your knees before BOJO you serf! :evil:
