In all logic, if the basis of trading between the UK and the EU works well now, it must be in everyone's best interests to maintain that basis.

 

If that basis is not maintained then obviously there is no rationale for a 'divorce' payment.

Indeed.

 

I only work on logic.

 

 

It has been a lifelong failing of mine.

Well, your failing has failed you. What you posit is a binary: either things continue as they are if payment is made, or no concessions are made and no payments are made. But, of course, this doesn't not reflect reality. There is a whole range of possibilities in between: less access for the UK but not none.

You are 100% correct.

 

Here is a historical bank forex rate foe June 2016 which was when the Brexit vote was counted. This particular rate is from KBank which is the bank that I use.

I have to wonder how many billions has been made by friends of Carney the day after he makes a speech which is clear would see a knee jerk drop in the GBP immediately after.   Maybe just cynical but a foreigner leading the BOE ?

The ‘divorce’ payment has been agreed, it will be paid regardless of whether the UK gets a trade deal or not.

 

Logic that.

 

 

I suppose my Common Sense is also surplus to requirements............................

 

An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Brilliant!!

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
- I Know My Rights
- I Want It Now
- Someone Else Is To Blame
- I'm A Victim
- Pay me for Doing Nothing

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

Most people's idea of commonsense is just a collection of lazy assumptions shared with their mates. Outside of 'best ways to clean a bathroom' its mostly gunk, particularly those who loudly proclaim the label as a medal.
