Britain is a free trading nation. That's one of the reasons they want out.

No "trade deals" are needed for free trade.

Trade deals are needed for all trade, free or otherwise. Having free trade between two countries requires a trade deal.

Free trade only requires that the government doesn't stop goods in customs.
