what they talk about was some free ports that would be setup in deprived areas. When goods cross the boundary into the UK market, they will pay taxes like if they came from other countries, the rule of origin will be determined then with HMRC.
What happens in NI in case of no deal is to leave NI to the smugglers.
There was talk of no taxes on any imports.

If you consider the following:

That the advice of the Attorney General was that proroguing was legal, that the English High Court agreed and the Queen's advisors didn't disagree.

That the PM's action was therefore not known to be illegal at the time.

That the public voted by a majority to Leave the EU and the PM is trying to do that.

That the public trusted the government to carry out their will.

There's no adequate grounds for action against the PM.
.
Hilarious! in full 1930's style..

I really struggle with the notion that the PM in charge of "Her Majesties Government" can continue in office after being outed for lying to her

free port is like a giant bonded warehouse, like those you see at Heathrow freight terminal - people can work inside but the goods are not imported yet into the UK.

Fingers you are lying again three years ago when you voted house prices going down was totally unlikely, in the same way that your "master plan" is.
You are profiting on other peoples loss
Admit it, and since you are obviously proud of doing so, was your master plan to rely on Brexit to profit at someone else's expense?
We’ve been down profiting from someone else’s loss, avenue before. It leads onto nonsense street.

He’s not bought a house, it’s just a tale to try and convince himself that Brexit is a good idea.

Strange article in the Telegraph
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/09/24/queen-breathing-sigh-relief-supreme-court-decision/
Why the Queen is breathing a sigh of relief at the Supreme Court decision
Having kept her occasionally bejewelled head well above the political parapet throughout her historic 67 year reign, Tuesday's Supreme Court judgment appeared to leave the Queen in a precarious position.

By agreeing to Boris Johnson’s prorogation - only for it to have been held “unlawful, void and of no effect” - some have questioned whether the 93-year-old monarch has behaved constitutionally, even though the 11 Justices unanimously agreed that: “Her Majesty was acting on the advice of the Prime Minister”.


I think he's found this magic lamp held just one wish!

Not quite yet that's true. But the mortgage is in place.

Just waiting on the sellers to find their dream home, which they have, but are in a bidding war.

Were not in a rush. I'd like to move in before Christmas but we have another child due in January so we can wait if we have to. The house isn't going anywhere and the mortgage offer is good for six months.

I'd like to thank you again for voting leave. You have done me and my family a great service.

It's true. Not all superheroes wear capes.

I'm assuming you don't wear one. Although your Dickensian values you extrude on here suggest otherwise.

But still. Thank you for your vote.

Yes, I know what they mean. Talk of one at Milford Haven.

But, for example, the oil refineries were talking about having zero tariff on imports and the effect that would have on their ability to continue operating.

And some huge percentage of all imports were going to be tax free.

No I wasn't in today.

It was an incredibly crass statement.

I have to say I think the money he gave the 'pole dancer' when he was mayor may have more legs if I'm honest.

Something very, very fishy is going on there.

Crass man saying crass thing isn't going to run imo.

Scotland
Scotland has the lowest life expectancy in the whole of your blessed EU.
Do you ever get anything right?
Scotland is not an EU member.
The EU is neither blessed nor mine.
The following EU members have a lower life expectancy than Scotland:
Croatia
Czech Republic
Estonia
Poland
Slovakia
Hungary
Bulgaria
Romania
Latvia
Lithuania

Perhaps, for a change, you could let the facts get in the way of your throwaway comments instead of the other way round.
