Do you understand WTO rules? I haven't made any claims about any number of deals already signed, you brought that up presumably as it's something you want to discuss, so provide the figures hard ones only as you say and make your point.
Honestly I have no great desire to move back to Thailand a case of been there done that after living there for 10 years but having already subjected the wife to 10 years in the UK and realistically looking at another 5 due to daughter only being 15 if she wishes to live in Thailand again then I will submit to her wishes although I still live in hope I can persuade her Southern Europe will be a viable alternative.
Hahahaha
What Empire. The British, French and Belgian Empire days are long gone. A part of history. The only person thinking about empire is you.
The only Empire now, is the EU dictatorship, that will soon crumble to dust. It’s being run by a drunken old buffoon, who refuses to negotiate and does not listen to the member states.
Soon time to celebrate our departure. However painful and difficult it might be, it will be worth it to escape the thunderous crashing noise, made by the collapse of the EU and the Euro. Both unsustainable models of socialist engineering being forced on the MS with no get out clause or veto.
We will help of course, selling you tariff free wheelbarrows. to carry your French francs to buy a loaf of bread.
what are the bookies odds for no brexit ?
Poorer as a nation – Austerity policies have dragged on the UK economy to the tune of £300 per household, per month since the Conservatives came to power, according to the New Economics Foundation thinktank. Its analysis says that under the programme of cuts first introduced by a Tory coalition with the Liberal Democrats, the economy has been left £100bn smaller than it would otherwise have been. In a report by MPs to be published today, ministers will be urged to help revive the UK’s ailing high streets by considering taxing online sales, deliveries or packaging, and cutting property taxes for retailers.
Listen to this rant, the guy is insane, gone mad on power...

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker says he is “not very optimistic” about Britain’s chances of leaving the European Union with a deal, also warning that any failure to agree an orderly Brexit deal will be economically costly.
“If no deal were to happen, and I cannot exclude this, this would have terrible economic and social consequences in Britain and on the continent, so my efforts are oriented in a way that the worst can be avoided.
But I am not very optimistic when it comes to this issue,” said Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who met British Prime Minister Theresa May in Brussels on Wednesday.
“Because in the British parliament every time they are voting, there is a majority against something, there is no majority in favour of something,” he told a plenary session of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC).
Juncker bemoans the lack of progress being made despite holding talks with UK's Prime Minister Theresa May last night in Brussels.
He also said "Brexit is deconstruction, it is not construction. Brexit is the past, it is not the future".
I do understand WTO rules which is what the UK will be trading under in the event of a hard brexit, which is why I was asking you what trade deals were already in place for your desired outcome?
Or do you live in some kind of retarded universe where trade, food, oil, medicine, imports/exports etc don't matter?
...no hard numbers in la la land!![]()
Clearly you don't understand what trading on WTO rules means as if you did you wouldn't be asking how many trade deals have been signed.
If you think you can trade under WTO without an actual trade deal of some kind... then you really are an imbecile of the highest order, I guess this is what comes of being illiterate and having your Thai wife read your bedtime Brexit stories from the Daily Express.
The International Trade Secretary Liam Fox promised the existing international deals the UK has made as a EU member would be re-negotiated under WTO rules..
At the meeting, Department for Trade officials were probed on the pledge by Mr Fox that he would sign free trade agreements to replicate the EU’s 40 existing deals with countries around the world.
However, the minutes read: “A panel member asked whether it was true (as claimed by Liam Fox) that there were 40 FTAs ready to go, just awaiting a signature and that the only delay was the EU Exit date of 29 March.
“DIT said that there was confidence that some of those agreements could be signed ahead of exit date, although it was unlikely they would all be signed before the leave date. This being so, there would not be continuity from day one of EU exit.”
^This is the real reason you wont answer how many deals have been signed
You are the typical Brexiteer all mouth and bluster about leaving the EU, until pressed for actual facts and hard numbers on what that exit is going to look like, then you scurry away like a cockroach afraid of the light ...

Seriously why is your reading ability even worse than that of a 5 year old. Already explained repeatedly about Farage new party and why it has been set up, if you still don't understand go ask a friend to explain it to you.
Again where have I made any claims about how many trade deals the UK has signed? You brought it up and were asked to answer and make what ever point it is you want to make. But instead you keep stamping your feet like a petulant child demanding they answer what ever bullshit you come up with next.
....still no numbers or hard facts from Buffaloboy, just lots of denial and musings from lala land.
Manufacturing represents about 10% of UK GDP, which is low but not as insignificant as your post suggests. The car industry represents about 10% of that manufacturing base, which was projected to increase (from £21bn to £28bn a year to 2025) but that isn't going to be happening if the Japanese companies decide to pull out with BMW and Ford possibly following on their heels.
I didn't say they were required to...
These people are claiming to act on principles that there has been a change of Brexit opinion thus there must be a second referendum (do not be mistaken, this is an anti-Brexit party, end of), but where are their principles and giving the voice to the electorate when they go against both their party and the manifesto's promises they were elected on.
Why would you defend these people??? They are a disgrace.

With people like you, I can see why referendums have to be limited to one question with only two possible answers: anything more would be far too taxing.
I was one of a few that explained that the UK service industry provides a much greater percentage to UK GDP than manufacturing. No-one said manufacturing was insignificant, only that it was a much smaller contributor. I think 80-20 split was mentioned. I would put significance levels at least 95% so no it wasn't me that said manufacturing was insignificant.
I think you are missing the point. It is not so much brexit these MPs are resigning over but brexit without an agreement over the withdrawal. The so called no-deal brexit was not in the manifesto and no-one knows if it has the majority of public support, although recent polls suggest it doesn't.
There could be more resignations on both sides of the house in the coming days to show the displeasure of such an outcome.
ok apparently there is a secret deal between Maybot and Junker, they want to make an announcement, Maybot first on next Wednesday, and then Junker to put on a nail on that Brexit coffin
basically it's going to be "you fuckers take the deal or there is no deal now or in the future"
As I believe I said many months ago, Brexit was ebola and will destroy the Tory party. Yet again I have been proved right but the bonus of course is the imminent destruction of the current Labour party too. Next week's vote should be another nail in its coffin but, certainly, if the sclerotic, desiccated skin bag May loses it and we head inexorably towards the precipice of hard brexit then the wheels will well and truly be off.
£ will be $1.10 for sure.
Parliament has the numbers to vote for an extension to A50 but the EU has to agree to it. Sadly there won't be a clean Brexit although I still cling to hope.
