And I am tired of all the whining of a bunch of incapable fools. Best would be to close all borders for 100%, to close the tunnel and let them sort it out for themselves. If only we could cull the unrepentant leavers then we could finally get our country back. But they would probably taste quite bitter and tough so I'll have to make do with tariff free New Zealand lamb in our brave new Brexit Land of Lies..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not going to be very difficult to get something that is better than nothing, is it? Ok, let's reframe my question. The UK wasn't able to negotiate a better trade deal with South Korea. Why do you think that the UK will be able to negotiate something better with the US or China ? If anything at all ? The EU has a lot more power, more weight in negotiations. Do you really think that China will be impressed by the UK and that they will give the UK anything better than the EU has now ? if they are even willing to waste their time talking ? Did you see what happened with negotiations between the US and China ? And US demands were not even unfair. They just wanted equal access to Chinese markets and did not even get that. Do you really think China will bow to the UK? With the US it is exactly the same. Trump will not give presents. Especially not when seeing how desperate the UK will be soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality will sink in when trade deals go t**s up. Nothing is for nothing, and guess who's going to come off worst? It sure wouldn't be China or the USA - or India. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Remainer talking about getting their country back? From Leavers? The type of confusion that happens when satire meets hypocrisy. Keep fighting the good fight to make us a state of federal Europe. Then you can have your country back.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't "stop" us leaving. Well, not officially. Colluding with UK Remainer MP's kind of stops us but I blame the traitourous UK MP'S for that. The EU is only looking after itself. I have way more respect for them than I do for the likes of Dominic Grieve selling out his own countrymen to a French/German led federal project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "protectionist bloc" has much more power than the UK has. The UK needs only to talk to the country that they wish to deal with and not wait for the other 27 countries to agree to the deal. The EU/Canada deal took 10 years to sign. However at the moment until Brexit is completed the UK cannot sign an agreement with other countries because the EU forbids it.
