Some interesting comments from Finland.

First out of the blocks baggsying the position.

Wait until it dawns on the rest...

Maybe our resident Crying Finn should make more effort encouraging his countrymen to stump up a bit more cash than spending time of here with his delusional outbursts.

Rees-Mogg busy undermining the government again on his little emotional crusade to crush the economy. I’m sure he, and the nanny who still looks after him, will fear the real damage that will do to ordinary people.

If Rees-Mogg gets his way food tariffs will be removed and 'ordinary people' will get cheaper food. Where is the damage?

Just another example of a remoaner on the daily mission of fear mongering. Hardly worth engaging with.

Food tariffs are not going to be removed. Nobody who is remotely serious and knows a damn thing believes that they will be.

Even if they were, the government would have to find the missing revenue from somewhere. Clue: that means our pockets.

More hyperbole. We can drop them by 75% with zero loss to the exchequer...

If love to know how much more serious and knowledgeable you are than Rees-Mogg.

About 2 million per cent. Check out what the man-child named his children. Not a serious person.

His comments on FTAs with the RoW show that, even he has even though about it in detail, which is doubtful, he is either thick or dishonest. There is no prospect of the kind of deals that he implies will be reached. He must know that.

The exchequer is going to be in a very bad way and will not even conceivably turn down the chance to obtain more tariff revenue.

What kind of deal does he imply?

[Sway]

He doesn't. He's spoken previously about unilateral reductions.

Yes.

Rounding behind Mogg is a sure sign of not being anything like a thinking Brexiteer. He is absolutely rabid.

[Sway]

So despite your immense level of seriousness and insight, no response to the clear rubbish about the loss to the exchequer?

What do you think ORD stands for?, his mathematics Often Replicates Diane's .

Having an assumption that his choice of children's names means he is not a "serious person" is beyond silly.

In my opinion the Government will match the EU tariffs.

And that's fair enough as an opinion. ORD made an assertion that was false however - that any drop in tariffs hits the exchequer, when we can actually drop them by 75% without a single impact to it.

Why? Why would the Government need to protect EU producers at the expense of UK consumers?

You really think the Government cares about consumers? We are all just tax fodder to them.

It's an opportunity for the Government to gather revenue without an additional cost to the public, and it may assist the UK:EU trade agreement. Also, don't forget that May promised to match the EU as a last resort to resolve the NI issue.
