    I see you selectively managed to miss out one of my posts. No a sympathiser are we?

      How does that make you feel. A third country attempting to interfere with British Politics?
      Presumably you think the USA is free to trade with other countries as it wishes. Isn't an independent trade policy what you want for the UK?

        ??

        My comment was related to yours about the US having a vote on a US trade deal, there were no other posts of yours relevant to that.

        Sympathiser of what?

          It is but I am objecting to Ireland lobbying (interfering in) American Politicians to sway them against offering any trade deal with the US after Brexit.

          The US is free to trade with who it wants, but those trade negotiations should be between the two countries involved, and not have any attempted sabotage by a third country that has no place in those negotiations.

          Tell me I wrong, and why I am wrong, to object to this happening.

            You are naive. This is geopolitics and the UK wants to strike out on its own - welcome to that world. Ireland is a small country, but it has significant leverage in the USA and is going to use it. Why shouldn't it?

            Feel free to object and see where it gets you.
