@TheLiberalKnight - Really? Cos it is interesting to know that when Britain was developing, it had the highest tariff rate in the world; then when Britain had strong enough industry, it opened its markets to free trade - that is only when it had a powerful enough industry to compete with the outside world. And nowadays we enforce free trade on developing countries, when we in our infancy of a nation protected our industries. Seems like kicking away the ladder if you ask me...

Free Trade is one of the few main British traditions still left standing. We must support free trade to the utmost.
