Let's be fair to Hannon, he has always said we should leave the Single Market.
He was simply pointing out that a referendum to leave the EU is not a vote to leave the Single Market.
Here is his well reasoned argument as to why we should be outside the Single Market:
I disagree with him strongly, but on this issue he has been consistent.
But I'll guess there will be considerably more who believed they already had the facts.
True and who are we to stop them having those views?
How many people gave a second thought to the single market or any of the other things we may or may not end up keeping? I didn't, never crossed my mind that it was something I should learn about (I've learned a lot about it all from this very thread, shame no-one had this discussion a year earlier).
As above, it people dont take the time to understand then that is their look out.
This whole issue is about the most appropriate way to trade with one of the world's most important economic zones and attracting investment into the UK. Membership or access to the single market is the core of the argument. Now I admit that leavers would have had no chance if they played that game, so they invented 5 lies instead and did a good job at shifting the argument to a false playing field.
I mean, it wasn't a complex question, it was "should we leave? [yes] [no]" - a simple question has a simple answer, right?
True. The difficult and technical bit is the next stage. I am happy to delegate that to the experts.
People believe whatever they trust is correct, which is whoever is largely in line with what they want to believe, whether that's "experts" trying to predict what will happen or that nice man on the telly with his bus.
True - individual responsibility again. There are members of the medical community on here who continue to insist that their pensions are safe and reject the word of those who know better. More fool them. They have been warned.
Just brilliant - Boris is now channelling WW2 war movies. Unfortunately what plays well to the average DM reading racist xenophobic half-witted Brexiteer probably won't go down so well with the people we now need to negotiate with. Luckily Boris doesn't hold one of the key positions in our government! Oh wait...
Looking at Brexit from a non partisan angle. When negotating with the EU with regards to things like "any deal must be lesser than EU memebership", that I'm seeing on the news.. Is that actually going to be the case?
If the UK turn round and says right, no deal. See ye. Things then develop into negotiating on a country by country basis. The question then becomes, will the EU stand together? Will the Germans forgo punting cars into the UK, true they can just pay the tariffs, but what's the likely hood of that lasting forever? Soon as the Germans do a deal, basically gives the rest of the countries in the EU the green light to negotiate individually?
I thought we agreed that you lot do quite a good job!!
No we didn't, we have a mod on this thread who warned us not to go off on tangents and immediately goes onto the relative merits of holding a referendum which we moved on from weeks ago.

Cougar my wife's first and second choice countries of residence are neither France nor UK. We both have no doubt we could live freely in either France or UK if we wished on our current passports.
@molgrips we've discussed the Norwegian / Swiss models before. Norway held a referendum and result was do not join the EEC, however the government signed up to pretty much everything anyway. Terrible, worst of all worlds. Swiss have an EEA agreement which suits them as they are such a big exporter (as is Norway). The Swiss have to accept freedom of movement too despite 2014 Referendum against it. As we are a major importer paying a large fee and accepting freedom of movement which is heavily biased to immigration into the UK makes no sense to me at all. We can accept all the immigrants we want via a visa system.
Glad someone else pointed out the Hannan Fake News, I could not be bothered.

No Japanese War Films, get with the zeitgeist.

I presume you didn't follow the Canada/EU deal being made?
Or any of the other trade deals the EU have stuck (or failed to strike) with the rest of the world?
I think you'll find a possible answer there.

Kimbers you seem to be losing the plot.
It was May the Magnificent yesterday, Tories coudn't be more united. They could be further ahead in the polls though and I think that's the way it's going. We will see what the by-elections bring.
Boris was absolutely correct (Gove too), it's The Great Escape. If the snowflakes can't stand a joke about the war they should take it up with Basil Fawlty.

No doubt. But less well off people may not have that luxury. Still. F*** 'em, eh?
People on the TV and on this forum keep banging on about the FACT BMW will need an agreement to keep selling cars here? BMW can and will add 10% without batting an eyelid as most folks Buy a BMW as a social statement and will stand a 10% increase in their monthly lease cost. Talked to a KTM (German motorcycles) bloke the other day and he just said people will pay 10% more...
Supply and demand always ignored by politicians who think they are economists... let's not even talk about monopolys like Microsoft who can hike prices as they see fit. We at the the wrong end of the supply chain - what's going to happen when we give Trump a trade deal - shit loads of crap cheap food that will swamp our agricultural businesses and other food suppliers. None of this is complex? From an economic standpoint we are at the en of the line and we only survive by buying cheap stuff and selling limited high end service (which are now starting to move) and now we shut the doors to young immigrants who fuel the economy by paying tax and providing labour?
These are not political views they are fiscal reality based upon an economy that on the whole simply consumes. Ordinary people will see an increase in fuel (all types) and food that far outpaces any pay rise.
@kelvin the EU / Canada deal took so long as the EU is fundamentally protectionist (it prefers membership expanion over trade deals) and dysfunctional in the fashion of 27 headless chickens. Personally that's why I wouldn't even bother, focus the time and energy on the global growth markets.
It was interesting today that Jumker's speech today had other items higjer up the agenda than Brexit. He is quite right there have a world of other sh.t to deal with like border control/impending Mediterranean influx coming as the weather improves and the eurozone debt crises. Those things really could destroy the EU whereas as Brexit is a relatively minor headache.
DrJ May has already said everyone is welcome to stay. It's the EU being grade A arseholes and playing politics with people's lives. It would have been trivial for the EU to say the same.

chewkw you do understand that Ireland being part of the EU will only be able to give us the same deal as we get from the rest of the EU. This being one of the prime points of the EU is that everyone is equal within it and no two countries can make a special deal. One of the reasons why people keep saying we have to get out..
Yes, I know. What if we favour the Irish to let them be like normal perhaps all they got to do is wave their passport to get through or we issue them some quick "permanent permit" to let them pass through as they wish. They don't have to return the favour if they do not wish to because they need EU permission. How about that?
Yes, there will be check points somewhere to check papers etc but if they have the "permanent permit" it should be like waving at check point. A bit like toll booth ...
We can do anything we want on our side and let in workers etc to the UK but they do not have the same luxury (or to the same extent as they have as well as us currently do have immigration controls). When we finally leave there will have to be a re-establishment of the border just as there will be at the channel tunnel etc.
Yes, we can let the Irish in so long as they are Irish how about that? I know you lot are going to argue passport is too cumbersome to carry everyday so how about other form of identification? A bit like bus pass perhaps? Again if any EU people want to sneak in at least there is a chance of catching them yes? 😆
Look at some of the people who work in Singapore and Malaysia they have to cross the boarder everyday ... no problem there.
. It would have been trivial for the EU to say the same.
Of course it wouldn't, once the UK is out it's up to each EU country to decide what it does with UK nationals not the EU. The collective agreement no longer applies. Just as each country decides what to do with Americans or Syrians now. Post Brexit Brits could even claim refugee status if they demonstrate they are persecuted in the UK.

We could even let a few of them stay if they don't want to travel every day. If that's a success we could perhaps open it up to other countries too. It'd be cool to allow people to move across borders without hassle.

Nope - EU members can only negotiate EU wide deals. No individual ones as I remember
Yes, I know. What if we favour the Irish to let them be like normal perhaps all they got to do is wave their passport to get through or we issue them some quick "permanent permit" to let them pass through as they wish.
That may well be what happens, but you'll still need some identity checks and a way to enforce customs/taxes, import/export rules etc.
The bigger issue is introducing a hard border with checkpoints and armed patrols - not exactly a welcome sight in Ireland!
As we are a major importer paying a large fee and accepting freedom of movement which is heavily biased to immigration into the UK makes no sense to me at all.
The alternative view - we are a major trading economy; EU member states represent some of our most important trading partners; for a very small fee (1% GDP) we can have full access to this market; this allows goods and services, capital and people to move freely across these markets which brings us v important benefits (increased volumes, addresses labour shortages etc); we can also participate in shaping how these markets work and have a structure for resolving disputes; this makes perfect sense to me.
The alternative: as a major trading economy, we wish to make trading with some of our most important partners more difficult and more costly; we want to limit the extent to which goods and service, capital and people can move (lower volumes, make addressing labour shortages more difficult); have no say in how these markets work (despite still having to cow-tow to THEIR regulations) and lose the structure for resolving disputes so that we can: save a very small amount of money; reduce the number of people who make a positive impact on our economy and pretend that we have more control over what we do; makes no sense at all.
Yeah, but we get rid of all the foreigners that have swamped the NHS, taken the good jobs, send child benefit to Poland, get all rid of the meddling EU bureaucracy and regain our freedomz through globalisations innit..
But making the final decision via mod rule? Barking.

As a Brit living in another EU country I am not in anyway frightened of getting kicked out and feel in no way supported by the UK government. The May speach seems to have totally lost the plot as why would one want to threaten or piss off anyone that you were trying to negotiate with? It is not a war. It is the U.K. deciding it did not want to be part of the club but still wants access to the cheap bar.
Crazy that people wonder why Europeans want to come to the U.K. to work. Because there are jobs that they can do and get paid for, because our economy has jobs that need filling and more jobs generally mean more tax and a growing economy.
The only group that the UK is at war with is its self. From the outside it all looks very bizarre.
Not just the outside
It is not a war.

Ex-PM Cameron did not even get anyway for being nice when he "begged" the EU to accommodate the British views or concerns. Instead he was bullied and brushed aside by the EU bureaucrats.
PM May speech was polite, reasonable and honest. UK do not want to get bad deal so do others and there is no need to hide that fact say it as it is.
Crazy that people wonder why Europeans want to come to the U.K. to work. Because there are jobs that they can do and get paid for, because our economy has jobs that need filling and more jobs generally mean more tax and a growing economy.
Nobody is denying that but there must be some form of controls yet when ex-PM Cameron suggested that might not be a good idea EU bullied him like a clown.
The only group that the UK is at war with is its self. From the outside it all looks very bizarre.
The other group that is at war with UK is the one that want to bully their own British PM. Yes, I agree totally bizarre ...
It's good chewkw has it all sorted out. Someone we can rely on. To be fair he sounds no worse than Boris.

It is not contained within the UK, you only have to remember Farage at Trump rallies to be reminded of that.
The bullying the PM (or trying to) is a grand British tradition going way back. If you don't have that, you don't have democracy.
Just like Farage bullied Cameron for example. Now Farage is an evil nutter but he is allowed to bully the PM. 'Tis how it works

Strange that local MPs who are elected democratically don't represent the will of the people Chewkw- thing is they represent the people who could be arsed to actually vote in a "proper" election.
I have said it many times before the section of society at the bottom end voted for Brexit but going forward they have NO political power and sure as shit don't have control over the fiscal policy of an incumbent Tory government. Local MPS on the whole do not need to bend over for the local Brexit vote at the next GE as most of them won't get out of bed to go and vote and if they do it will be for UKIP which will only strengthen the Tory heartland vote and domination of parliament.

DrJ should have added the caveat that the offer was on the basis it was reciprocated, she and other Ministers have made the offer many times including shortly after the Referendum. Also see point 6 in PM May's letter below. Edukator makes a good point that it maybe (is) up to the individual countries to approve in which case I am even more confident it will be sorted.
Bullying ? In May's speech ? That's just ridiculous. Listen to all the rhetoric from the EU. May just stated the obvious, we are leaving the EU and the single market, we want tomsee the EU being successful, we want to keep trading with you. However no deal is better than nomdeal andnwhy should we not adopt the same tax policies as Ireland and Luxembourg, Junker well knows how successful those have been.

What a wonderful word - apparently. EVEL doesn't even exist, now it could be created of course. What I think you may find Ben is that Scotland will be asked to draft their own Great Repeal Bill in terms of tye detail and consistentbwith Scotland's devolved powers. If they decline they will have no EU consistent laws or workers rights. Sounds like another smart move from May.
