    Trade under WTO rules....average 3.3% tariff.

    At average… the weight of an animal in the London zoo = 1.234 kg... suiting… none.

    The EU, where 47% of the British export goes to.. has especially for items they produce themselves, quite higher tariffs.

    For instance: (Welsh) meat: € 1,495 per kg. Cars: 10%. You think, Nissin will continue to produce cars in Sutherland ? Or use a closed Ford facility in... Genk - Belgium ? See taric consultancy  http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds2/taric/taric_consultation.jsp?Lang=en

    By not paying their bills?? According to the House of Lords..no bill is due to be paid in event of NO DEAL.
    You could also contact the QC..think name is Martin Howe re the " bill ".

    Then stop also immediately with all pensions etc to Britisch MP's in the EU parlement, etc. Mr Nigal Farage did not miss even one meeting to learn how to rob as much as possible for his pension.

    Put the decision to the electorate.

    That's what they did in 2016: an OVERWHELMING and eclatant majority of 51,88% of the votes were for a BREXIT, whatever, as there were no limiting consequences mentioned in the text of this referendum. And as every Brit could inform his/or herself unlimited on Internet... when you burn your bottom, you have to sit on the blisters… 

    Remind: 5 June 1975 a 67% of the British supported the EU membership.

    Eat less and exercise more. It's not difficult.

     

    When if for what medical problem you cannot do much excercise, as every step hurts ?

    Eating no fat, no pasta, noodles, potatos, rice, drink no alcohol, no fruit drinks, no cola etc, but only coffee without sugar, … as my family doctor said: loosing weight by skipping your weekly piece of meat / fish… does not help much...

    China invested about $ 300 billion in Africa between 2005 and 2018 alone. With Chinese money, infrastructure projects such as railway lines and airports are being built in countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya and Burkina Faso. But the African countries pay a high price for it ...
    Because the Chinese government wants to make not only their profits with their billions, but also gain political influence - and with some unscrupulous means.

    The Europeans just GAVE it... to the politicians often, with result an ever growing corruption.

    These sanctions are going to impact the poorer people in Iran quite harshly so it's hard to blame them for showing anger at the power doing the sanctions. It might be a dream to hope that the people of Iran become so pained that they overthrow their own government but that doesn't seem to be at all realistic.

    Remind the revolution in China ( 1911 and 1945-9), Kiel-Germany (the revolt of the marines), and even France 1789: the normal people were so much is distress, they were not afraid anymore for the bullits of the government military.

    Simply a brilliant move!  This is probably the best way to convince Americans that Trump's sanctions are misguided. 

    Exactly. No better than this to convice all Americans why Trump is doing so: to prevent Iran ever getting a nuclear bomb on an ICBM. That the EU does not see this ? Remind the words of Lenin, lived in Europe only: "the (European) capitalist will sell us the rope we will hang him with".

    The reason they will not hold a vote for a United Ireland is that the next thing you know is that little Scottish non-entity of a Chief Minister will demand the same for Scotland and the next thing you know the United Kingdon would no longer be the "United Kingdom".

    So… long live democracy ( for the short time) as voteers and politicians do not look long further as a few years… at max.

    Thing is does the Irish border really matter ? On the great scheme of things nearly all exports/imports from/to the continent are via the Eastern coastal ports, air freight to the UK main airports or freight through the channel tunnel.  So what if a few Irish people have to queue longer at a conventional customs post. The only reason it is a concern to the UK government is that Teresa May relies upon the DUP to keep her in a job,  or for that matter, to get her there in the first place.

    A few decades ago, the EU had a minimum import price of raisins. With this, the Greeks - by coincidence - did hurt the Turkish raisin export to the EU dramatically. In no time the import of Turkish raisins into Switserland rose till the 5-fold.

    Things like this, the EU wants to block by a normal border. Only: the irish and the Brits cannot come to a conclusion where. Means..pity, between Irish Republic and Northern Ireland when no deal can be hammered out. Sorry, but this at least the politicians and all educated Brits should have known before they started to support a Brexit. 

    Still, the UK can apply for a re-entry, without any privileges, and.. accept Schengen, €uro, and right lane traffic.
