"I can't work out, and no Brexiteer has managed to demonstrate, where all the boundless goodness is going to come from."
Brexiteers wont because what you ask is backwards. The EU tie our hands and bind our feet and represent us as 1 of 28 members, and you ask brexiters to demonstrate how we can compete on the obstacle course. Its like morons asking us to have trade deals before we have left, we are banned from signing any until we leave. You ask us to demonstrate what we are not permitted to demonstrate, that is not proof that we cant.
"Every analysis I've seen shows, at best, a break-even when (if) we work out similar trade deals ourselves with each of these nations individually"
Yeah these analysis are looking more and more amusing. Almost like the certainty of recession on the day of the vote leave result. As its from those who dont want to leave it isnt a shock. Yet by reducing tariffs from the EU's protectionist levels will reduce the cost of food, that is probably why the argument is amusingly now moving to 'food standards' without actually being about such.
"Clearly not understanding that WE WILL if we don't want to remove all trade borders with the entire world (under WTO rules)."
Not really. The UK doesnt want a border, NI and ROI dont want one, who is left? So if the EU want one they can make it. It is their problem that they choose to take on themselves. Under WTO rules we dont have to make a physical border.
Surely if we are concerned with trade we should be happy to get out of the trade wars of the EU and their high protectionist tariffs.
