China is the EU's second biggest trading partner after the US. There are currently 26 bi-lateral trading agreements between the EU countries & China. An EU-China agreement will replace all these. But we will still get a better deal?

The point is that we dont know and currently, each different product imported into the EU rom "outside" carries a different tarif number and as such attracts a certain level of duty (tax) and of course these have taken years and years to establish, again, little mention of this in the "of course we can set up trade deals with "X", so often spouted before, during and after the referendum.

Of course "The Unknown" will be better than what we had before, because we will have control

We were promised our beautiful blue passports back. Then This! I am OUTRAGED! What next no £350m a week for our beloved N.H.S? At least Mr Farage is still doing his bit, I saw him on the news yesterday replenishing the fishing stock in the Thames, you show'em Nige.

The same Mr Farage who, as an MEP, attended 1 of a possible 42 meetings of the Fisheries Committee...

Try responding to him. His posting is pretty much correct. Just to help you labour closed more mines than the tories.

He won't, he's not even "kryboard warrior", like so many he's a keyboard coward. Got many fingers to point but no anwsers.

I genuinely don't know what the relevance is; the original point was about Mr Farage and his ill-advised weighing in on the fisheries issue, by dumping a load of rotting fish into the Thames. I commented that it's a shame he didn't take that issue more seriously when he was actually a member of the relevant EU committee and could have done something constructive - but he attended only 1 of a possible 42 meetings - statement of fact.

What that has to do with the slightly deranged PCCollinson (who has previously expressed his view that I should be executed on live TV) and his list of unrelated whataboutery, I have no idea; hence, I choose not to reply.

To your point - you may have seen that quote as part of the recent attempts to disinfect the Thatcher years, but it's simply not true; and it has bugger all to do with Nigel Farage, fish or even Brexit.

I presume you're referring to the Wilson government back in the sixties?

Yes there was a huge cull, forty odd percent of the workforce, but that percentage doubled under the Thatcher government, with the nice caveat of the miners being described as "The Enemy Within".

This comment dovetails nicely into the present Brexit debate, with the High Court judges described as "Enemies of the People".
