It's quite correctly exposing a lot of the nonsense that I've heard.
Doesn't mean all the total bollocks is on one side, though.

As all such things, it has cherry picked the parts which suits its argument.
I also find it very odd that an extreme right wing Tory seeks an alliance with some nondescript Labour politician to produce such a document. Wonder who paid for it?

I am just surprised there has been so little comment on the document, in this ng. Usually Brexit is the hot topic :')

I think he reason is the original poster of report is where the problem is, it;s usually racist crap so most just ignore him.
But even so when whether remain or belive such documents are rarely if ever balanced and at worst an advert for whatever side the poster supports.
Although I've yet to see one supporting T i m's idea of voting NOTA as a means of deciding on such things.

The lead author, Peter Lilley, gave an interview on Radio 4's Today programme in which his key arguments were quickly taken apart by the interviewer. There's not much else to know.
The document is another unworldly Brexit fantasy which assumes the ROW will want to trade with the UK despite us defaulting on a large agreed repayment. Lilley thinks that putting this default into arbitration will somehow make the EU so well disposed towards us that it will give us a generous trade deal. lol.

Lilley was one of those politicians I distrusted on sight. In the days when it wasn't fashionable to do so. Not found any reason to change that view. Just an older Rees Mogg.

Two months ago Peter Lilley said in a radio interview:
"Two years? I could negotiate Brexit in just 10 minutes!"
Yeah, right. With nonsense like that it's no wonder we got into a mess.
