We are more than happy to accommodate your needs and preferences. Anything to extricate ourselves from China's grip. They've been flogging us with their trade bullying for long enough. Time to get the old band back together innit..
You're on your own.

Re: Trade deals
Heard on LBC News today that New Zealand's PM is proposing a "5 Eyes" trade deal between NZ, Oz, UK, US, and Canada. That sounds like ½ of the CTPPT (or whatever it's called) to me.As for agri-workers in the UK, on GB News this morning they were discussing some farmer or other that has offered £20/hr for veggie and fruit pickers and can't get a Brit of his/her backside for this sort of money. Lazy sods. Now there are calls for the armed services to help out.

Instead of calling the army in to do the picking, l think they should
bring back the call up and use those buggers as an initiation
course to the real world !!
