“The exact opposite is true. Britain now has the opportunity for actual free trade. The EU is not a free trade region. It is a highly regulated and restrictive trade zone.

Freeing themselves of high tariffs and banned trade will give them economic growth.”

So I’ve now been running a company in Britain for 16 years. Yeah, I can run that even though I’ve lived in the US for 8.

The EU *is* a free trade zone and there are not tariffs that I’ve come across. I loved it that I could trade with Germany or France and not worry about patent law differences or tax weirdness or anything like that because it was a free trade zone.

Where are you getting your information? I’ve actually done this stuff.

There’s one source, a MEP.

Sure, you could trade with France but India? China? Not without EU permission. Not if a special interest in Greece objected to your British business.

It’s like breathing about how wonderful it is to have a business in Delaware and how you can sell stuff in New Jersey anytime you want but being locked out of Asia because a potato farmer in Idaho doesn’t want you to. That’s the EU set up.
