Common misconception: Unless there is an embargo or a law explicitly prohibiting trade (like e.g. selling nuclear material to North Korea) the UK was, is and will be free to trade with all 200+ countries on this planet. Regardless of being a member of the EU or not. 1/n@RealBobMortimer The question is rather whether exports from UK are still viable once 'schedules' (quotas + tariffs) are applied at the destination country and whether customers in UK still can afford foreign products once those schedules are applied here. 2/n
