We're on track for the biggest ever tourism numbers this year. Presumably they're all coming to laugh at us in our isolation? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-tourism-visitors-economy-international-arrivals-summer-b1097836.html -

Not really. It was just a poor attempt to move the goalposts. -

It's curious that someone with an international outlook who is very concerned about our image abroad can only cite British sources about how we are allegedly a laughing stock. -

You're really quite ignorant. WTO disputes are only interstate. https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/disp_settlement_cbt_e/c1s4p1_e.htm -

It's nice of you to own up that the scaremongering about the devastation of British farming due to being flooded with substandard imports was just gaslighting. -

You read about businesses that are negatively impacted every day because it's newsworthy, whereas business carrying on as normal is not, but you can't extrapolate from that to the whole economy. It will take time for everything to adjust to new trading patterns. It remains a fact that we have the closest EU trading relationship of any country that is outside the European institutions, so it's perverse to say that we are closed off. -

De facto we are certainly not closing ourselves off from the EU. At the margins there will be businesses that are affected like yours but you can't multiply that experience over the whole economy. -

The adoption of a genuine white heat of technology approach in the 1970s and 1980s might have benefited from some initial protection from unfettered access to our domestic market by established continental competitors. It's worth considering that perhaps joining the EEC was the wrong decision in the first place. -
