Keep telling you Mick it's defence. We aren't another state of the US (yet!)
On the 29/3 we shall no doubt still be on the/a customs union, following EU rules but with no say. Don't quite know what you think will change.

Sorry Miick, personal irritation of mine, American spellings and phrases creeping in everywhere. Maybe a sign of the way this country is going. We're English/British and proud after all

We can only remain in the customs union until the end of the transition period at the latest because we want to strike our own trade deals.

Re: Brexit
Dominic Raab gives Remainers an early Xmas present with ‘mindblowing’ admission
The Brexit secretary has only just learned the importance of trade through the Dover-Calais crossing.

You're strange. I've said that Aaron Banks is for the clutching-at-straw merchants. I've also said what I've always said about the EU being a con-merchant organisation and explained why.
It beggars belief that several Remainers on this thread are in denial over things like that.

If Raab didn't appreciate the full extent of the importance of Dover-Calais (have I misunderstood?) then what hope is there for us with this cabinet?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Dover only handles 6% of the total amount of freight handled at UK ports, and no doubt he was looking at it in that light.

Well if the French want to play up the Dutch are only too keen to take the business.

The EU has no intention of reaching a trade deal with the UK except on their terms - which are being bound to the Customs Union.
Surely that is staring you in the face? The evidence is glaring in front of you.

Beg to differ
https://www.britishports.org.uk/syst...time_ports.pdf
A snippet:
At present roughly half of the trade passing through the sea ports of the UK is customs free trade with the other 27 members of the EU. Dover is the dominant port for EU trade, accounting for 22% of the total (exports plus imports)

Re: Brexit
I think remoaners are trying anything to discredit the leavers.
If they actually put energy into helping leave it would be better.

Firstly, the simple fact is that if the EU doesn't climb down from its high horse, there will be no trade deal. But then you have the Ireland/Northern Ireland border problem, and the EU doesn't want a hard border. Something has to give.
On your second point, that 6% figure was quoted by the BBC just today and it is correct. The figures you quote relate to UK/EU trade. It seems to me that Raab was assuming EU trade could take place from many other ports, but maybe didn't take full account of the impact of that on speedy and frictionless trade. Incidentally, this is a new role for him, so this initial period of office is when you become aware of some finer details which may not have been clear to you before taking on the role.
