The difference is that we can forge our own deals in the transition period whereas we cannot do so now. That is a YUGE difference and frankly I'm surprised you overlooked such a key point, it's very out of character for you.
Now about the free trade agreements...I doubt we will be able to make all the complex trade deals required with dozens of countries in a 21 month period that are more favourable than our current arrangements. It's going to be a testing period and of course the EU will be the toughest negotiator of them all, but if gEUrmany wants to keep exporting Volkswagens here they'd better shape up. If not, as a last resort we can always slash business tax to 10% and be a tax haven like Ireland.
havent heard that one before

no worries, the corporate EU puppets will not ruin their masters business so you guys will get a decent trade deal
