This is why I quite enjoy reading your comments Sanemax, you’re just so dogged, even when completely wrong.

Here is his quote: 

Here is the original that he quoted:

 

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Britain’s Trade Minister Liz Truss said on Monday that striking a trade deal with New Zealand, one of its smallest trading partners, would be a priority, as her government desperately looks to line up post-Brexit agreements.

 

I’ve bolded it to help you out.  He didn’t add anything at all.  Yes, he cut words out, which is perfectly acceptable for brevity, but each and every word in his quote is in the original as above.

Here is the sentence you referred:

 

“Striking a free trade deal with New Zealand is a very important priority for the UK, It’s one of the first trade deals we expect to strike.”

 

Notice that the words are different in your quote? That is because it wasn’t the sentence he was referring, so your contention that he didn’t understand the rest of ‘the sentence’ is flat out wrong. No doubt you will be back shortly to argue that black is white.  There is no shame in admitting you made a mistake every now and then you know.  

My point was and still is , if he would have read all the sentences in the article , he would have understood why it was a priority .

  In the report , the journalist stated it would be   a priority , later in the report , the journo actually gives the full quote .

  The reason why the NZ trade deal is such a priority is beacuse its the first deal to be signed , and if sunday was unaware of that , that would have been because he didnt read the full quote .

so the brexiters bang on about controlling their borders but the reality is that they are out shopping new free movement trade deals.

Australia flooded with chavs...no thanks. 

 

Typical of the British upper class sense of entitlement - that they can somehow waltz back to the former colonies they threw under a bus in the early 70s. The glory days of empire are well over. 

Interesting article in the Financial Times about how Japan is not eager to give the UK the same deal as it gave the EU. Japan is the UK's 4th largest trading partner after the EU-EFTA, USA, and China.  Remember how Brexiters promised that such a deal would be easy to negotiate since all that would have to be done is copy the EU-Japan agreement? 

 

Japan trade accord becomes post-Brexit priority for UK

The UK is to make a trade deal with Japan one of its top priorities after Brexit, putting it on a par with the need to achieve similar pacts with the EU and US.

Until now, the UK’s principal post-Brexit trade goal in talks with the Japanese government has been to “roll over” the existing trade relationship which Britain enjoys with Japan as a member of the EU.

However, Japan has long resisted this “copy-and-paste” approach, believing it can secure far better trade terms from the UK than it did in negotiations with the much larger EU when it secured a bilateral Japan-EU trade treaty.

Well, it makes sense. British people ruined by Brexit will have a place they can emigrate to! ????
