      Access Denied

      If you don't have access to it, the article has a breakdown of service exports by value:

      1. 164.1 billion to the EU
      2. 51.4 billion to the US

      3. 18 billion to China
      4. 7.9 billion to HK
      5. 5 billion to Australia

      The first 2 are going to be hugely damaged by a combination of Brexit and "America First".

      Ouch!
      For a hard Brexiter, you're not doing a great job of selling the Project. It's bloody obvious that we will never sell anything to any EU nations in the future, as we're on the seriously naughty step for ever and ever. Tarifs will be 1000% minimum, and double that on fish which came from our waters in the first place.

        In your case, it's a rather large and unruly turd. Or, to put it another way, it's something you can't give away, no matter how hard you may try...

          Not yours, no. But then again, who does?

                  Oh, c'mon! Do you remember the Yes/No Interlude? Perhaps you're too young. The contestants had to survive a barage of questions for 60 seconds. PosterBhoy has been going for round after round after round. He's as tough as old boots. I believe he could go on for ever without being tricked into making an answer.
