Good luck Gove trying to push France and Germany around.

Its going to be WTO rules.

But thats OK thats what people voted for.

The problem is that there are "regulations" and "regulations" which quite obviously many fail to understand, including Gove by the look of it.

A large percentage of goods going to the EU are subject to CE marking. Who is responsible for CE regulations, the EU. Who has legal jurisdiction over CE regulations, the ECJ. The 200 or so notified bodies that operated in the UK have been shut down and companies must now obtain certification from within the EU.

So if a company wishes to continue with CE marking and export to the EU under EU regulations and subject to the ECJ, who is going to stop them.

The government approach will not stop exporting under EU regulations, just make it very difficult. Without a zero tariff agreement much of the UK exports will become uncompetitive in the EU.

Manufacturers that think they can replace the lost trade in a deal with the US will be in for quite a shock when they face the certification required to meet the US regulations.

 

Many of the smaller SME's will struggle to fund the cost of exporting once outside the EU and many will just kick it into touch. What the brexiteers refuse to acknowledge is that the problem is even more acute in Scotland, even 2 of the largest exporters, Seafood/fish farming and Whisky, are under threat from government policy. 

Is it any wonder Scotland would prefer to tread a different path.

You have been asked several times for evidence to back your assertions. All you keep doing is repeating your assertions.

Ergo. Your assertions are baseless.

Constantly posting baseless assertions is the behavior of a troll.

  When there is a massive deficit with the EU does anything really matter,just stop trading,was it 93 billion or thereabouts?   Just stop trading with EU,the deficit the UK has with them could be spent elsewhere in the world,more bang for the buck as saying goes

  With CAP artificially inflating prices for farm produce in eu , spanish farmers now protesting at low values on their produce,olives etc,about to be CAP,good time to be gone

Quite correct. Here's a mor relevant comparison. 13th May 2016 GBP/THB = 50.85. Brexit result June 23rd 2016.  8th July 2016 GBP/THB = 45.49. Today 40.78.

There you go, fixed it for you.

UK and Ireland form the common travel area. Due to a host of agreements since the 1920s Irish aren’t considered as foreigners in the U.K. and vice versa.

 

Post brexit, they will be the only EU nationals who will continue to have unfettered rights to live and work in the U.K.

You asked for the Euro, you got the Euro. 3 months of currency fluctuations is insufficient to base any trends on.

I'll tell you how. No bull, just plain facts. The price of a currency is a reflection of investors' view of a country's economic prospects. If the price of the British pound vs the USD has been continuously falling, and overall this has been the case with the GBP since the 1970s, round about when it became clear that British industry was declining, this means the following:

 

1. This is caused by the underlying poor economic performance of the British economy

 

2. If it is a clear and continued decline there is a chance that this decline will continue 

 

3. Even vs the THB, the slide of the GBP vs the USD is of significance since GBP/THB is not a direct pair, and will most likely result in a drop of the GBP vs the THB in the long term

 

If I were paid in Sterling, which thanks to winning first prize in God's great lottery I am not, I would be worried for the long term prospects of the GBP. The writing is clearly on the wall. And the Brexit contingent is doing nothing but accelerating the decline. Closing access to EU marketing for UK service providers, increasing cost of labour by restricting supply of cheap labour, all of this will accelerate the decline. What are they doing to improve the British economy? Not much, on the contrary they have made plain that economic concerns take a backseat to other considerations. This is not good news for the British economy, it is not good news for the British, and it is very bad news for anyone getting paid in Sterling who has to exchange his currency.

Pound has lost around 20% of its value compared to before the referendum.

So anyone living in Thailand but paid in the UK has had a 20% pay cut because of the colour of passports or something.

That includes many pensioners who were not exactly rolling in wealth to begin with.
