Oh No

Oh no! that collapsing, useless, failing, undemocratic, pointless, bureaucratic, organization the EU has just signed the biggest trade deal ever. Good lad that Junker.

I think that's on top of the one's with Japan and Australia

Still, it wont matter to the UK as we will be picking up the offal and the EU can have the steaks.

Re: Oh No

Not having heard this news of agreement to the draft for this free trade treaty I had to check it out for details. It's not, as far as I can see, shown on the usual various news channels so for others who need some details there is a link below:

Re: Oh No

Plenty of other sources of information about this now, perhaps the one I previously posted was the first to break the news?

Links below for those who are interested to some of those other sources:

I'm interested to know how the EU protects the irish beef. Post brexit the export to the UK on wto terms will have a tarif, decreasing this export?
British import of beef is mainly from ireland, the rest from brazil with the wto tarif ireland is going to pay. Brazil will move their export from UK to EU (no tarifs)?
So in effect the irish beef will be more expensive for the british consumers. Will they be willing and able to pay this price?

Brits as consumers are used to getting the shaft when it comes to prices. I mean, we have been in the EU for a while now but we still pay over the top for our cars; so it doesn't really matter to us whether we are in, out or shaking it all about, if there's an opportunity to be had by our lovely politicians for stitching us up, they will take it.

Every thing will cost more after brexit, will it not? Unless some one on here can identify a commodity that wont, most unlikely because they can't even identify what the advantages are with doing our own trade deals.
