    OK then, we import a lot of stuff from China and haven't had to import their people as well.

    The EU share of world trade has been dropping for about 20 years.

    You should also watch that Hugo Chavez doc to see what you're wishing on us.

    So, you're wrong once again, it seems that you're very good at being wrong, given the amount of times you're proved it.....

    I think you should actually take a real close look at the UK right now, millions of people suffering in-work poverty, homelessness massive, over 400 homeless people died on a British street in 2018.....foodbanks springing up in every single town, and struggling to manage the demand.....i could go on and on.....

    On the flip side, the richest have been getting richer and richer......

    Still not explained why free movement is needed in a trade deal.

    Until the EEC became the EC that was what we had.

    Comparing food banks to people genuinely starving in Venezuela is distasteful IMO.

    What's distasteful is your willingness to highlight poverty in a foreign country for political point scoring whilst ignoring it in your own.....how very patriotic of you....

    It's not comparable.

    There's a difference between people who are genuinely starving and people who use food banks in the UK.

    No-one is starving in the UK, we have a generous benefit system, people from all over the world come here to use it.

    Food banks are popular because they're free, anything that's given away free there's always going to be loads of demand.

    Food free, more money to spend on other stuff (not just booze and fags but there are some like that).

    Left-wing hyperbole on this subject is silly.
