    subsidization or dumping.
    I doubt you've noticed, but you can replace the words 'United States' with 'European Union' and nobody would be able to tell the difference. There is one though. See if you can spot it...

    Should have lumped in with the US after WW2 instead. We'd be far better off by now no doubt about it.

    The US has 'objectives' which are subject to negotiation. The EU has 'intentions' - and many of those are far worse than anything the US might want from us.

    That is pure BS.

    There's a lot of huffy demanding in that document, It is over a year old mind you but still, shows what we should be expecting I guess.

    Strange they have the cheek to 'require' us to stick to minimum wage and health standards - pot kettle black much!!

    Plus some weird Israel-protectorate stuff - That's straight up strongarming an agenda. SURELY we wouldn't let political determinations into our new trade negotiations, now that we're sovereign ?!

    I imagine it's the bit that doesn't say 'Let the EU decide for us'
