Way back up this thread, I didn't say Free Trade Deal without borders, I said with minimum policing. I was clear.

What does minimum policing mean?

I note we have plans to recruit 50,000 new customs officials and 5 lorry parks just in Kent for Dover. You mean this?

Woah, woah, woah... I thought Brexit was going to cause job losses but you're telling me it's already creating 50k before it even starts. Or are jobs bad now?

Actually a Canada style deal would have very serious repercussions and the consequences would be felt for a long time. The extent to which people underestimate its impact never ceases to amaze me.

Putting that to one side though I don’t for a minute believe that the EU wouldn’t be open to such a deal. Why wouldn’t they? That’s not the problem at all. The problem is that we have neither the will, competence or government support to ask for such a deal, let alone put one in place within the timeframe we have.

How do you know it can't or won't be done Adi?
I don't know that it can or will, any more than I suspect you know that it can't or won't.
We are all guilty of Confirmation Bias or believing what we want to believe, to some extent. Which comes back to the values/beliefs I referenced earlier.
There are different perspectives and values.
UK staying entirely whole, or splitting; remaining or leaving the EU, are not right or wrong things in absolute terms. You have to choose what is most important to you and try and be respectful to the views of others.

I've never claimed there will be nett economic benefit in the short to medium term. There are however other things that I class as benefit that I really value.

(Thanks for the response earlier by the way but no need to apologise. You didn't actually say it; I referenced only inference.)
In general the people contributing on this thread are anything but stupid.

Anyway I'm done because this will just run and run and run and at 58 I don't have enough life left to give it more time:)

Because they want something as similar to what we currently have which includes free movement, frictionless trade and a contribution. If the other 27 know that you can be a trading partner without contributing to the budget then why would the net contributors stay?

Because they recognise in a way that we don’t the huge benefits to membership such that the term ‘net contributors’ becomes pretty laughable. In fact, the EU was preparing a Canada plus style deal at a time about a year or so ago that we couldn’t decide what we wanted. So again the evidence is there to support the notion that such a deal would be possible from the EU side but absolutely no evidence at all that the U.K. has any intention or desire to pursue such an option.

What would they be and why are they insurmountable?

Well, the treasury’s own assessment shows a huge recession in our economy, there would still need to be checks and the massive costs in time, money and logistics that would inevitably be added and which would derail supply chains and of course the Canada deal has many more limitations around services which forms I think around 80% of our economy. So yeah it’s better than no deal but still ****.
