I assume the UK would be obligated to adopt the Euro as a currency, and i have no doubt some people would absolutely rage stroke.

Sounds fun, if unviable.

I don't think that is essential for trade. A Norwegian/ Icelandic/ Swiss etc. approach could be adopted.

EEA does allow free movement of people though, which is most of what made us leave to start with. Mostly because of this prick pretending that hordes of dirty brown refugees were somehow the fault of that.

Yeah. If free movement of people is excluded you are down to a European Union–Turkey Customs Union type agreement.
