Do I think the government will rejoin the EU under any circumstances? I don't know. Most of Parliament appear to want us to have stayed in the EU, so maybe they will. The MPs that wanted to leave won't, I don't think they will, although several of them have shown they are perfectly willing to change allegiances (Bo-Jo being the major one).

Or BMW they can't sell in the UK? Or Adidas? Etc etc? It's a 2 way street! Leaders of German industry have made it very clear they want the UK to keep its free trade agreements. An as Germany is a democracy then all will be fine

I mean if we can't buy VW's or BMW's then sales of none EU made cars will rise. We will still buy cars, just not german cars! That's a lot of trade for Germany to say goodbye to.

What's with this entrenched idea that we must have freedom of movement to access the single market .Australia ,japan and the US all benefit from the single market and do not have to have to allow all EU citizens into their countries.

Yes but Germany get hurt if we stop buying German goods, Germany won't like that. So you understand, as whole the EU thinks it's all powerful but as each member state realises what it's going to lose if it doesn't trade with the U.K. Then then EC will be under pressure from members who are about to lose BILLIONS in UK trade.
