He also said that the UK Government shouldn't impose tariffs on goods, food or materials which are not made in the UK which would then be a big benefit to the consumer because food, goods and clothing would be cheaper. Well he would, wouldn't he, the products he sells aren't made in the UK... If they were, he'd be singing a very different tune! It would certainly be a good way to make sure any industry in the UK that produces these goods, food and materials would instantly become uncompetitive though.

Leaving the EU will prove to be just an economic blip, hardly the earth shattering catastrophe that EU fanatics claim it will be. The EU was painted as being absolutely essential to the UK for decades. The reality is it just made the rich people richer. Income disparity growth has been largest in nations outside of the EU, why, because the EU is based on the social principles that a lot of its states are founded on. The outlier in terms of market capitalism has always been the United Kingdom. We've gone over this before so it is a bit tiresome to have to keep repeating this.

Car Boot 10 #1215 Posted November 8, 2020 Is Gina Miller advising Donald Trump about challenging the outcome of a legal democratic vote at the Supreme Court? Surely Remain voters would support such action? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Liz Truss is happy with the new UK/Japan free trade agreement which means I'm also happy with the agreement. Yeah - she's negotiated lower tarrif exports to Japan on things we don't export to Japan. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-japan-trade-deal-liz-truss-exports-b1619263.html The export trade in unicorns will boom post Brexit 😎 Edited November 8, 2020 by Longcol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

She didn't challenge the outcome of vote, she challenged the right of the executive branch of the Government to implement it without Parliament voting on it first. We do, after all, live in a Parliamentary democracy. despite the cries from you right wingers. Possibly, in the future, push for a referendum on the (albeit unwritten) UK constitution? Anyway, if in doubt about Gina Miller, Google her name - first page, first article. Edited November 9, 2020 by whiteowl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I am sure there are lots of world leaders who don't like dealing with other world leaders but they have to because it's their job and good for their Nations or their trade agreements or just a general consensus of how the world should be run. I don't like lots of people I have to deal with in my job but I do it it for the result I need. Of course there is no doubt that a healthy and happy relationship makes things a lot easier and makes the better negotiation but ultimately politics is about more than just "the person". Something which loser Trump never did and never will understand. The popularity contest begins and ends the election process. Soon as that's over the sphere is much wider including who one has to learn to deal with whether they like it it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
