@ baldelectrician:
think back.
once upon a time we had a good deal going with new Zealand lamb and butter.
UK farmers were at a disadvantage due to subsidised meat from NZ
once in the ECM that stopped, prices rocketed just to stockpile the products to subsidise french surrender monkeys.
The EU introduced import duties to protect EU farmers from meat at below market cost coming in
we were promised the removal of tariffs, so we could buy goods from europe.
Yep - that happened, that's why many companies that make stuff here (such as car manufacturers have 'just in time' supply chains as the internal market works
smokes never came down in price to match europe.
UK government set UK excise duty - how is that still the fault of the EU ?
still cost 5 x as much as (e.g. spain). we never were allowed to buy abroad without paying huge import UK duty.

most of our fishing industry (and that affected Scotland worst) was decimated by allowing the frnch and spanish to fish our waters.
That was Ted Heath (UK prime minister) who sold out the fishing industry- see below
the NHS is swamped by freeloaders from europe courtesy of the eu.
Almost ALL the EU persons in UK hospitals are staff who work, live and treat eternally greatful UK citizens
there's more, but i can't be arsed.

I'll just add here that Canada and Japan were given 90% of the benefits without the obligations, the uk trades 10 times more than either of these countries, the Idea that the EU would punish us while we now have such a strong hand is simply ridiculous, yes we will see the same rhetoric and predictions all from globalism sources but you just need to look at the last 3 years to realise none of it ever came true ... the cornerstone of most of the remain camp arguments in the early days... seems they still haven't learnt any lessons and follow pollsters that have repeatedly predicted wrong.
The Canada deal does not include services, quite a high proportion of the UK economy is services
