When we leave the EU

Well the deals they have are incomparable to what we have so it's not relevant.

We dont have a deal yet and what would an 'all inclusive' one look like ? You suggest if we get one it wont be free and will cost more. I repeat, do they pay the EU for their trade deals, if not then why should we.
 
Now there was me pondering security costs for H&M in Canada. I have no idea how much that sort of thing costs - but let's say £100,000 a week...that's £5,000,000 a year - and say 24yrs will take Harry to about 60 - that's £120,000,000. Now that's a load of money - not the sort of amount that the UK taxpayer will happily see spaffed up a wall by our government.

Ah...hold on...

Indeed - is that what Johnson's trade deal negotiatin tactic going to be? Well Canada and Japan don't have to pay so why should we...

Well might say the EU - that's their deals not yours.

I agree if it goods and limited services like Canada then I'd expect not to pay, but if we want the same 100% access as we have now, that won't be free.

If you are suggesting your ''guess'' of 5m per year is a lot of money, please tell us how much money is spent wasted moving the European Parliament from Brussels to Strasbourg for 4 days every month.

Fill your boots ;)

  • Arts Council: Gave a £95,000 grant to artists in Brighton for “Skip”, a rubbish dumpster outlined with yellow lights
  • Crawley Council: Spent £5,070 on 12,200 hot drinks from vending machines for council employees, when the equivalent number of tea bags would have cost just £200
  • Department for International Development: Spent £21.2 million on a road maintenance project in Bangladesh, later pulled due to “fiduciary irregularities” after it emerged that less than 10% had actually been spent on roads
  • Durham Council: Funded a £12,000 clothing allowance to allow councillors to wear “Geordie Armani”
  • Hull Council: Spent £40,000 on a concert in honour of the councillor who is Lord Mayor this year
  • Ministry of Defence: Paid £22 for light bulbs that are normally 65p
  • Prison Service: Paid £720,000 to professional actors for role playing that is aimed at helping inmates become employed
  • Scottish Government: Signed a £1.4 million 4-year contract for taxis for civil servants in Edinburgh – despite staff being told to use buses
  • Stoke-on-Trent Council: Spent £330,000 to pay for redundancy packages and subsequently rehiring 25 members of staff

Well , still small change compared to money wasted by our own government.
A tiny % of the EU budget.

SILH was complaining about Prince Harry and Mrs costing the tax payer £5m per year.
I just pointed out that his beloved EU waste £150m per year moving offices for 4 days per month.
I know where I'd rather save money.

Maybe you could explain how this relates to leaving the EU.
