So having covered basic facts here's some review of those facts If we leave without a deal we'll just go back to WTO rules? Well no, the tariffs and quotas we have with the WTO are actually bundled together with the rest of the EU so we first need to extract our share, this is not going to be super simple, already WTO members have said we'll need to start from scratch https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/26/russia-brexit-liam-fox-wto-plan-uk But the WTO rules to trade with the EU are just fine? Well at the moment we can trade as much of anything we want with the EU You can take a look at how complex the WTO is here http://tariffdata.wto.org/ReportersAndProducts.aspx To give you an idea the WTO isn't just a case of "OK so you have a 20% tariff on trade" each tiny thing has to be tracked tarrifed and quota'd, you can see here down to the level of "Cocoa shells, husks, skins and other cocoa waste" But we want to stop all these...

So I'm going to try and explain trade deals in 2minutes So what is trade? Countries don't make everything they need or have the all the basic resources available to them - for example some countries are rich in certain metals whereas others not. So countries buy and sell products from each other, this is trade. Trade is good. What is protectionism? Britain and France start to trade, and the UK starts selling jam to France. The French don't like this, they want French people buying French products not British products. What's a tariff? The French's first move is to apply a tariff to UK jam which is a tax on it being imported - let's say 10%, this makes British jam still available but less attractive to the French, so the French sell more jam. Win. What's a trade war? The British are not happy at our jam being snubbed so we apply a tariff to French cars, let's say 20%. This is the tedious process of a trade war. What's a quota? OK say...

So I've just finished the book Gnomon by Nick Harkaway and people are having trouble understanding the symbolism and the characters (myself included so I've tried to simplify it here). Obviously, spoilers... Here is the story re-organised into a timeframe that makes sense Annie Bekele and Colson create a video game that uses the latest technology and the design assistance of her artistic grandfather. The government moves to take over their project in the interests of the nation. Shortly after Annie and Colson are attacked and firebombed in the grandfather's home and they begin to split in their ideology, Colson become more of a fundamentalist believing in the control of the system. This eventually becomes the System and the Witness, the system being the entire system including the democracy, with the population being requested and required to participate in the democracy, the Witness being the software AI that monitors and supports the system. The system i...
