How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

And the local population were well aware of the likelihood of such issues cropping up when they overwhelming voted to remain.

I recall that out of every ‘region’ of the UK, Gibraltar had the highest remain percentage.

Agreed. Those pesky Poles coming over here and taking our jobs - mind you they have form as they did exactly the same in WW2 and took all our fighter pilot’s jobs and helped us win the Battle of Britain. Bastards.

I got sick and tired of them coming over here and fixing things!

It’s a sorry state of affairs when you can’t even trust that your gammon is pork never mind British…

I recall that out of every ‘region’ of the UK, Gibraltar had the highest remain percentage.

After that result came through in 2016, I said to the Council's Chief Exec it would be fascinating if it was a narrow vote to Remain and the Gibraltar vote had swung it. I wish...

UK-Asia trade deal to boost UK economy by 0.08%

The bloc includes nations such as Japan and Australia, but the UK's economy will only get a small boost.

‘Biggest trade deal since brexit’ - ‘will add 0.08% to Uk economy’

So… over 3 years after we left EU, and over 6 years since the vote (when trade negotiations should have started)… the biggest trade deal (to replace all the null and void deals previously existing as part of EU) is announced.

I’d guess the rest of the trade deals done in 6+ years are hardly worth the effort, if the biggest will only help with 0.08% growth.

such genius.

It’s a tiny slither of positive news for once so I won’t criticise it but it’s about time and it doesn’t even begin to compensate what we have lost.

It’s a tiny slither of positive news for once so I won’t criticise it but it’s about time and it doesn’t even begin to compensate what we have lost.

It's approximately one fiftieth of what we've lost by fucking up relations with our largest trading partner.
But it's our one fiftieth so let's all pretend it's wonderful.

This is what it looks like on the globe

Any new deal is welcome, I guess, but it’s pretty meaningless if China and South Korea aren’t members, and it could be a long time before they join, if ever. Voting for leave was (pi)voting for poverty in the meantime.
