We won't be taken out of the EU with this WA though 59, that's the whole point of this thread. The authors aren't simply expressing concerns, they are pointing out the facts about the situation in which this deal will leave the UK, about which 99.9 % of the population, including your good self are unaware. And yet we could be asked to vote on it, indeed you even advocate having a vote on it.
I agree with the fact that should we sign up to the WA then that would be a shocking outcome. Don't you want an opportunity to tell the Government that this would be unacceptable? Or are you willing to leave it up to them? You seem to be saying that signing up to the WA is not what you want but how can millions like us stop them?
On the border issue, I've pointed out before that there are solutions, I've even posted links to some of them, they have been explained by numerous bodies and individuals, but the EU does not want a solution, so one cannot be agreed. Once we have left it will surprise you how soon a workable solution is in place. But can you explain something to me, because you obviously spend far more time considering the Irish border problem than I do, both sides agree that a trade deal solves the problem, how will the border work then ?
Well, can you ask Boris and his mates to clearly spell out how the border will work from October?
Regarding the "both sides agree that a trade deal solves the problem" Well, I suppose it depends on what exactly the trade deal contains. To have frictionless trade and an open border I can't see any way it can be done without having some kind of customs union (as we currently have). Perhaps Boris will be kind enough to explain his idea?
I still fail to understand your concerns about a trade deal with the USA. We already trade with the USA, I haven't checked but I'm assuming it is one of our biggest trading partners, and not being an expert by any means, I'm also assuming we trade with them on WTO terms. Any bespoke trade deal we agree with them will have to be better than the current WTO terms or we won't be signing up to it. So if it's going to be better than the existing arrangements, as it must be, then what is it you are so afraid of ?

The fact is that reduced trade with the EU, and trading on less favorable terms with the EU, means that we need to make it up with trading deals with other countries.
As you say, the USA is very important to us at the moment - in fact it is our biggest trading country. But to ramp up the trade, agree trading standards, tariffs etc with Mr Trump may well entail him demanding a say on our dealings with other countries. We have recently been fostering relations with China for instance and if he insists that we don't deal with Huawei then that would sour these relations. Doing a deal with the USA also means accepting their trading standards - some of which are unacceptable to the EU, which further complicates matters.
Without doubt, the USA holds all the aces in any trade negotiations with us - but we may be forced to accept their demands otherwise we really would be in a difficult position once we leave the EU.
And no, I don't know any more than you do about this stuff - we have just reached different conclusions.
