Re: Not going well for Trade deals.
Even Commonwealth countries are not tripping over themselves to sign up to a trade deal!!!https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a8292091.html

The pre -eminence of London as a financial and services superpower can not be replicated over night elsewhere nor will it be.
Buy to let dominance in the housing market is a result of mass immigration and a lack of investment in social housing by UK Gov'ts over the past 30 years.
As for the cannabis smoke.......you should try some and chill out!.....but the reality is that due to mass immigration and the lack of opportunity that creates for British people, we have a generation and an underclass of poorly trained, badly prepared and low paid workers that smoke more weed as an escape from their drudgery.....
That's life in the EU for you!
Thanks for saying the sort of things I would have done.
I'm afraid that I just can't be bothered to discuss matters with some people who have the inability to understand facts and can only bleat about having lost the Brexit referendum!

Will that be New Zealand lamb killed by Halal slaughter? Almost all of it is.
I do accept, though, that in a couple of years from now the sky will fall down!

Only 26% of red meat exported from NZ is halal certified according to the New Zealand Meat Industry Association. Most of that meat goes to majority Muslim countries.

HiThere are a finite number of Trade Negotiators in the World.
India is no different to any other Country in that respect.
They are seeking to restart negotiations with the EU and others which have faltered, such as the Gulf States.
It is in their best interests to finalise these first before progressing onto the UK.
There is nothing sinister in this.

Middle eastern countries probably account for most of the 26% they say they certify. The UK doesn't require labelling and certification, so Halal meat sold to us won't be included in the 26% and the last estimate was that 70% of New Zealand lamb sold in UK supermarkets was Halal.

How is whether you personally eat chicken relevant to the UK being forced to import unlabelled, chlorinated chicken post Brexit?
Typical shallow, egocentric Brexiter thinking and poor attempt at wit. These issues are about everyone, not just you.
The sky may not fall down, (although lower standards on air pollution post Brexit may make a bigger hole in it) but many people living in post Brexit misery and poverty will probably wish it would.

I never suggested it was, merely that a Trade deal with the UK is a long way down their list of priorities.

I do wish you'd make your mind up.
Damn! I've done it again.
I said I wouldn't bother to interact with you and your sort.Still, I'm at a bit of a loose end at the moment.
