How Can You Have a 'free Trade' Deal?

Posted on the 24 April 2016 by Markwadsworth @Mark_Wadsworth

In polite conversation with Mr DBCR on here and with one of my cousins it struck me that the very idea of a 'free trade deal' is nonsense.  Trade is free, end of.
So post BREXIT all Cameron has to do (assuming he's still there shudder) is to stand up in the House of Commons and say, "Right, we're open for business. The UK is now, unilaterally, a free trade nation".
Next he gets on a 'plane ( suggest first stop Eire) and meet the Toaiseach.   " 'Ere, Enda.  Free Trade?  Yeah?  Wanna come and play"?   Next stop India.
Job done.
