    The Tories had 4 years to get a good deal. This is the best they could get. You should be happy

    Edit: they're not friends, they are direct competitors and trade partners (at best). If they were friends the Tories and their supporters like you wouldn't have been so scathing about them for the past 5 years.

    Which is what they were when we were in the EU, I worked for a very large French organisation and a larger American organisation. There was no love lost between sales teams across Europe and selling via the most advantageous tax regime. However remainers still believe giving them preferential access is what we should do.

    A third said: "The EU has hung the deal on the fact that any changes could incur penalties or tariffs on our exports into Europe so it is going to be very tricky.

    "It is a pretty lousy deal, at best it is a minimal deal, at worst it is a disaster."

    A fourth fisherman said: "We are struggling to get fish through to France.


    Nice friends there.

    Just a bunch of whiny remoaners who failed to prepare in the 4 years they had and haven't looked at exploiting the opportunities that brexit is opening up for them, like delivering truck loads of stuff to Canada.

    started a topic Brexit Carnage

    Brexit Carnage

    Brexit Carnage


    Lorries outside of Parliament had anti-Brexit slogans in bold writing on the side of them such as 'Brexit Carnage!'
    Lorries patrolling Westminster with "Brexit Carnage" written on the side is not good optics, not good at all
