More good news post Brexit

Oran 777 >> "Who said it was? And why can't we do business with both?"


We can do business with both, but the point is ( or was ) that we were part of the worlds biggest Single Market, and there is no prospect on the horizon of getting a Free Trade Deal with the United States.

Also, if it means lowering our animal welfare or food safety standards, from EU ones to US ones, then both I and millions of other British people dont want a Free Trade Agreement with the United States.

EVERYTHING the pro Brexit camp promised has failed to materialise, we are worse off, and Brexit is part of the reason why our economy has slumped, Brexit has been the biggest self harm project ever undertaken by a British government.

The entire premise of the thread is that "other" markets elswehere can make up for any contraction in sales of goods to the EU, but the point is that WHY does anyone believe that selling UK meat to Japan, the USA or The Philipines is a better bet than been in a Single Market of half a Billion people, right here on our own dorrstep.

It seems that those that still admit to voting for Brexit are looking for that glimmer of light, to justify their vote in favour of us closing the door on our neighbours.

The other point is that we could still have sold British Beef to the US whilst been a part of the European Union, we did used to sell quite a lot of Beef to America, until the Americans banned British Beef.

I personaly eat Beef very rarely, but having tasted American Beef, I can honestly say without hesitation that British Beef is very inferior, but of course there is a market for "Free Range Grassland Beef" which is how British meat is advertised in the US.

So yet again you never read the link to the USA meat standards which are far higher than the eu's will ever be..

Nothing wrong with Chlorinated Chicken. But I guess you already know that Salmonella is the most common cause of foodborne outbreaks in the European Union, but fail to aknowledge that fact in your undenying support of your beloved EUSSR.  And why doesn't very many of the eu located meat suppliers raise their game.

Quite right.
Coq au vin, I don't care if it's been chlorine washed. I prefer my tap water chlorinated , too. Does a great job of keeping us all healthy.

Well they do say that little things please LITTLE minds.
