Britain to get absolutely everything it wants from Brexit negotiations

[GB9]

Mate, if you don't know whether Switzerland works or not, then you are a complete cretin

HTH BIDI

Oh look, here's more cretinous good news.

But let's not panic. If it does really happen, (it won't), it will take 6 to 10 years, be worse than if we were in the EU, and definitely on everyone else's terms 'cos the UK is tulipe like. Yaaaaaaaaar.

Britain opened "very fruitful" trade talks with Canada on Friday, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox told the Sunday Times

Have you noticed that fruit goes off very quick?

He would soon travel to the United States to ensure that Britain was not at the back of the queue in trade talks as President Barack Obama had suggested before the June 23 vote.

Not back of the queue... UK in front of Russia and Iran at the very back

He said was "scoping" about a dozen free trade deals outside the EU to be ready for when Britain leaves, some with countries that had indicated they wanted a quick deal and others with some of the world's major economies.

Scoping? Making out his list.

"We can make Britain a beacon for open trade," he told the paper. "We have already had a number of countries saying 'we'd love to do a trade deal with the world's fifth-biggest [sixth]economy without having to deal with the other 27 members of the EU.'"

As in “Dragon’s Den” we have no sales but a lot of people like our product.

Earlier, Prime Minister Theresa May's office said Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had told her he would like to strike a free trade deal with Britain as soon as possible.

I like your CV, I will let you know if we put you forward for the role.

It's for the good of the country. We need to know if Switzerland works and you're the one to find out.

Yes it does, but there are important differences.

1. Smaller
2. More foreigners (proportionally)
3. Does it's best not to piss off the EU
4. Has developed trade and other deals over many years
5. Doesn't have a budget deficit year on year
6. Has direct democracy, as opposed to representative democracy.
7. Has a far more collaborative attitude to politics
8. Better skiing.

Surely UK is violating EU laws when trying to negotiate trade deals with other countries right now? UK isn't out of EU yet, so it is subject to those laws.

Negotiating is fine. Signing something is different.

Head off to Switzerland - they've got red squirrels and Alpine marmots for you.

All true, but offset by high income. Though I had a surprisingly decent meal in Laufen the other day.

I for one look forward to replacing my German products with the plentiful manufactured products from Australia.

Stupidity is too mild a word for the gross fantasy land that Leavers inhabit. But reality is going to bite even for the most bone headed soon enough.

You imbue stupidity with a clarity that it is difficult to encounter outside of institutions where the residents are routinely sedated through the night.

He'll be wondering what the point of a trade deal with South Korea is next.
