Changing your mind and realising you didn’t want to delete file file after all comes down to exactly the same thing.If you inadvertently hit delete you have the option to correct your error.It was not changing our mind, because you never wanted to delete it in the first place.Since when did the reason to hold a referendum appear as a choice on a ballot paper?@ A.

The UK is already a member of the WTO, a founder member no less . An WTO member’s tariff schedules are its own concern, unless another WTO can successfully challenge that those tariffs are discriminatory. The WTO tariffs published by the U.K. government are either the same as those as the EU or lower .
It’s not clear exactly why a WTO member should wish to challenge the UK’s tariff schedule, not least because it is politically obvious that the UK is on a mission to reduce its tariffs via free trade deals with other WTO members. The WTO combats protectionism, not free trade. As for your comment about the Irish border, the provisional plan laid out by the UK government is to Northern Ireland into a giant free trade port for the time being, which is something which has several precedents around the world . This may well be challenged by another WTO grouping , but there are two safeguards for the UK. First of all WTO rules permit local tariff exemptions on national security grounds .
Your doomsday scenario is possible, as are dozens of others. I think there will be disruption, but I think predictions along your lines have even exaggerated for political reasons. I think your predictions of the UK ceding territory once it is out is crazy. Also Scottish nationalism will be terminally weakened once the UK is out of the EU .
