Re: The price to the UK economy as a result of Brexit,

EU is looking desperate. These pathetic social media stooges are simply convincing more and more people that voting to LEAVE was definitely the right thing to do. NO DEAL all the way now.

EU is on the verge of collapse imho.

The only thing ‘infantile’ is the unnecessary choice of abusive language/rhetoric used in your posts.

No, flooding forums with tons of aliases spouting the same Remainer EU rhetoric in an attempt to subvert the democratic process is infantile.

Man up, respect the referendum decision and do something to support the country and make a success of BrExit.

If you insist on repeatedly making unsubstantiated claim/s about my having ‘tons of aliases’ and ‘flooding forums’ then at least back up these claims with some objective proof! (i.e. which aliases, which forums?��

In January 2019 Liam Fox made a statement that in terms of the number of agreements ‘all’ 40 were On track. However, in February 2019, Liam Fox’s own Trade Department, leaked a significant document to the Sun Newspaper ( which no right thinking person could describe as a “remainer” tabloid) which showed that of the 49 EU trade deals:

(a) 6 were “on track”;
(b) 8 were “off track”
(c) 19 were “significantly off track”; and
(d) 4 were “not possible” at all.

Not only do these figures prove that Liam Fox is way behind from the promise he gave to the UK electorate, that the Government would replicate the 40 EU trade free Trade Agreements that exist before we leave the European Union so there is no disruption to trade, but they also show that the government has failed in its public duty to protect the UK economy in the event of a ‘no deal’ Brexit. Some Brexiteers may try and argue that in leaving with no deal the UK will be free to strike a supposedly really big trade deal with the US.
However, the UK electorate will be aware that just this week the US Ambassador in London gave some pretty severe markers about what the US expects and more importantly what the UK would have to accept in return for such a deal:
(a) Hormone Treated Beef;
(b) Chlorine washed Chicken; and
(c) US companies access to NHS contract (the pathway to privatisation)

If this is the price of doing a comprehensive deal with the US then I know where I stand. Do you?

Some three years ago, I, together with some others including the local MP - Dr Caroline Lucas MP, campaigned long and hard to get the TTIP deal off the table as far as the NHS was concerned - at that time, we were successful, now the barstewards seem to have resurrected this deal. OK, I fought once and ready to do so again !!!

"Claims that a post-Brexit trade deal with the US would lead to chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-pumped beef arriving on supermarket shelves are "inflammatory and misleading" smears, the US ambassador to Britain has said.

In a strongly worded rebuke to critics of a proposed deal, Woody Johnson dismissed negative claims over agriculture as "myths" concocted by "people with their own protectionist agenda"."

""You have been presented with a false choice: either stick to EU directives, or find yourselves flooded with American food of the lowest quality. Inflammatory and misleading terms like 'chlorinated chicken' and 'hormone beef' are deployed to cast American farming in the worst possible light.

"It is time the myths are called out for what they really are: a smear campaign from people with their own protectionist agenda."


"On chlorine-washed chicken, he said the process was the same as that used by EU farmers to treat their fruit and vegetables.

Describing it as a "public safety no-brainer", he insisted it was the most effective and economical way of dealing with "potentially lethal" bacteria such as salmonella and campylobacter

Much simpler and better way to treat these two bacteria, is not to have them contaminate the food in the first place - that may mean more expence to the American farmers - but sobeit - that's the price they'll have to pay to export their (currently) crappy food here.

Re: The price to the UK economy as a result of Brexit,

I would suggest that the main "contamination" to be worried about in this debate is the virulent foreign "bacteria" of referenda, as opposed to the healthy, high protein diet of traditional parliamentary democracy.

If you want to be governed according to alien foreign principles go live in Europe and leave us patriotic Brits to traditional parliamentary democracy.

Get ready. Once we sign up with USA, their companies will be able to sue British newspapers, British Governments anyone who gets in the way of their profits.


Doesn't look like taking back control to me.
