They are cash grabbing, short-term goal obsessed capitalists. I can well imagine British companies down the line being sued left right and centre because cousin Brett nicked his finger on a splinter from a wooden spoon made in 'Hampshire's Crafts Ltd' and has had to take 12 months off his six figured salary as a result.
It'll all end in tears.Comment

I'm cautiously optimistic about her visit. He needs friends, and he will know that. We can be his biggest, bestest friend, far more so than any of those pesky Europeans.
That could put us in a very strong position.
Of course, on the other hand, he really could be the nihilist that he's painted as, and then we're all doomed.
May needs American leverage against the EU if and when the Brexit divorce proceedings turn nasty.
Its a win/win deal.
Just thank ***k we haven't got Brit hater Obama in office nowComment

The UK goes to the back of the queue again.
Trump fails to commit to trade negotiations
On Friday he spoke in generalities about the importance of ties between America and its former colonial master. But he didn't say he would start negotiations for a new trade agreement with the U.K. He didn't announce a deal. That showed restraint and savvy. Unlike his pledges to make Mexico pay for a border wall or to end radical Islamic terrorism, when it comes to the "special relationship," Trump so far is not making promises he will have a hard time keeping.
