I am not worried about not being a super-power. But the world is a big place and the EU is not all the world there is. Neither is it wise or sensible for the EU to alienate us. Sooner or later, people will realise how serious this is for the EU as well, to be so badly at variance with an important neighbour; which in the future Britain will continue to be, seen from the EU side of the water. The punishment Brexit idea is not a good one.

I presume you mean the ECJ rather than the ECHR? We are leaving the EU, not leaving the Council of Europe. Quote:
I reckon we should address tax evasion here anyway. One thing we might do, in the event of a punishment Brexit, could be to make our transfer pricing rules much stronger, so that "licence fees", "management charges" and similar devices used to walk profit out of the UK without it being taxed are subjected to a 20% withholding tax.

Not quite as shameful as the people who deceived and betrayed us into entering this spiders web from which we are now extricating ourselves. We were told it was a Common Market. We never were asked for permission to subordinate our country to a Federal Europe and we have seized our chance to say no to that project. It would have been irresponsible and reckless not to do so.

Btw, in case you thought being shut out of Galileo and other projects is "victimisation", it isn't. It's because you aren't subject to EU law and court oversight, and can't be given top level access to sensitive information. Trust does not come into it |

Btw, the EU can take counter-action against the US because it has equivalent economic firepower, just like China. Have you thought of the difference in scale between them and the UK? |

Nice to see that you fell for that one, if you had taken time to read the comments underneath "Jon Moore, by uploading this edited section of Rees-Mogg's speech, you merely expose what a desperate tosser you are." "This was recorded years before the second referendum in 2016. Cameron did indeed renegotiate our membership and got few concessions for his trouble before it was held" "Well filleted indeed. 9 seconds from a speech of probably at least 4 minutes. I noticed he said "a second referendum after the renegotiation" i.e. 1st referendum to decide whether to re-negotiate. There is no context in this video because it has had some Open Britain-style editing" I would have said it was more like Little Britain "Very deviously edited to exclude the true context in which he spoke to create fake news. Defo remoaners behind this!" only a quote, not MY words Those are just the listed quotes, not my thoughts, my thoughts are that I just think some people are desperately sad

The practicalities are against a second referendum - it isn't going to happen. A general election is more likely.

Don't know if I understand you right, but unless there's a deal to the contrary, Gibraltar will not be able to sell financial services in the EU. From what I've read, Gibraltar knows this, and says it will sell its services elsewhere. So what is there to retaliate against, and who are you angry with?
