Meanwhile in Italy

The Narnian trade deal is shaping up well, as long as the White Witch gets tariff free Turkish delight exports.

Boris is doing a good job traveling to Chile and Argentina to negotiate exclusive trade deals. Current trade between Uk and those two countries is worth a whopping $1B total in exports and $1.5B in imports

Italy won't be leaving the EU, both parties, M5S and the Lega have both said that in their treaties that exit from the EU or the Euro was not their plan, in fact most Italians don't want to leave the Euro.

But most Brits did vote to leave the EU(1.2 million majority) - funny how things work out, init?

Indeed. Can't wait for them to reap the rewards of Brexit.

Well not quite. Out of 51,356,768 people of voting age there are 46,500,001 registered voters of which there were only 33,551,983 votes so although a lot of British people did vote to leave, if the rest had got off of their apathetic arses, the results may well have been different. What you can say is that most British people who voted, voted to leave although it seems now, they're now quite sure what they voted to leave...

And Hammond was out there last year but nothing has happened. I know that the Falkland Islanders are starting to get worried...

The Falkland Islands’ fishing industry exports almost exclusively to the EU, with 94 per cent of fishing exports by bulk heading to the single market in 2017. Fishing accounts for 41 per cent of the islands’ economy and two-thirds of the corporation tax received by its treasury.

The islands mostly export loligo squid to Spain, a seafood that accounts for 89 per cent of their exports to the EU. The Falklands provided over a third of the loligo squid imported by Spain last year; once it arrives in the port of Vigo it enters the EU supply chain and is distributed around the world.

Representatives of the islands’ fishing industry believe that the “worst case scenario” of having to trade on World Trade Organisation rules as advocated by some Brexiteers would cause a £9m hit to revenues because of tariffs – a large sum for the 3,400-population archipelago that would amount to more than £2,600 per person.

Not sure transporting fish 13000 km's is really what we should be doing from an ecological point of view.

Are there not some starving people in South America who could do with the food?

So are you saying that it is better to focus on trade with neighbours?
