    Wine we can buy anywhere. We make almost no metals here now, so what ore?

    I think you are talking utter bollox.
    It's great how these deals are going to be really important when they are going to happen, but don't matter at all when they aren't.

    It's a microcosm of the whole No-deal-better-than-bad-deal or WTO-rules-are-fine line. I would like to be charitable and say that it's an unconvincing bluff, but it's probably just headless chicken incompetence.

      Even their rancid lager is made here. I disagree on the wine though, the good stuff is bloody good, if a bit pricey these days.

        In fairness, cheap Aussie wine isn't too bad after the first couple of glasses.

        I'd way rather drink that rather then prop up the EU by buying French or Italian wine!

        Haven't bought any EU sourced wine for years!

          We are not yet in the queue!

          We cannot queue until we leave the EU.

            Chilean wine is most excellent. I'm avoiding EU wine now, and EU products generally. Every little helps.

                Interest rates will not be raised for a very long time.

                  Billions sloshed into the banks, and 300 year low interest rates.

                  They can't pull that trick again.
