    However I voted is irrelevant. We are all in this together. Some more than others.

    The UK does not want to withdraw from the Common Market. Only from the EU bureaucracy and over regulation.

    I would like to see a commitment to get the best deal possible for the UK. China, Saudi and the US are better placed to help the poorest countries.

    Oh I forgot. The UK will get the best deal for the rich and f**k the poor. Wealth gap will widen. When will we get a decent depression to cut the rich down to size?

    It's not just goods. The UK can now sell to Haiti branded services such as the 'I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of Here' TV show format. In return the UK can import their expertise in how to deliver essentials services in a failed state.

    I think the plan is to import German goods, thanks to our low-tariff EU trade deal, and then sell them on to poor countries at a profit, again thanks to the trade deal they have with the UK, and hope Germany doesn't notice what we're up to. Boomed!

    Great news if you're in the filing serial numbers off BMWs business.
