You dont think that leaving without making trading arrangements would cost jobs, and leave UK based airlines in limbo?

Who owns it is irrelevant, what they did and who for is the issue. You are fond of stating that the outcome of free and fair elections should be respected, but what if it was not fair?

No, I'm not suggesting that at all. Trade deals exist to make commerce more efficient, profitable and prolific. It is why we have them, and aspire to have more. The Brexit Ultras are happy for us to have a no-deal departure from the EU but even if there is a deal (as is likely) all sides agree that it will be worse than the one we currently have as a member. We are therefore faced with the prospect of either a no-deal with the EU, or a worse-deal. Either will need replacing with something else, which is why Fox is clocking up the air miles. A deal with Australia could well be the first one over the line. It will be tiny compared to the EU one we are planning to dilute or destroy and it seems likely that its terms will seriously damage British agriculture. I wondered what are the views of posters on here.
That was my point.

Still don't see what you're getting at.We produce our own cane sugar,and also export,so we have more than enough.Why would the Aussies ship sugar here when they already sell what they grow to asian countries?

Which is why the 'or that it has been involved in the exploitation of Facebook data, or otherwise been involved in any of the alleged wrongdoing made against Cambridge Analytica.' clarification is important.
We already know it wasn't 'fair'. Remain had the government machine behind them, big business, European and international establishment and they spent more than double the amount Leave did in pushing their line. Still cocked it up though.

Lincolnshire beet farmers fear cane sugar dumping from warm climate producers and a closing of intra-EU markets for their own products. That's the beef. Well actually it isn't. The beef is another issue for British farmers.
PS I'm sorry, but to the best of my knowledge we do not produce cane sugar for either home consumption or export. Please provide details: as ever I am prepared to concede if I am wrong.

Probably best to wait and see what the reduction in trade with the EU will be (assuming it happens) before judging what trade deals would compensate for any supposed loss.

Well I just hope our Official Brexiteers aren't intending to conclude trade negotiations with the EU without considering the likelihood of striking alternative commercial deals.
You’re just proving my point that mental spastics like you should not be allowed to travel or vote. What on earth were you thinking when you typed that? (The smart money is on nothing) Or was your brain addled from all the booze you consumed with your best friend the 15 year old Bryan Robson?

It is interesting that a mildly-posed question asking which countries might provide trade deals to compensate for the dilution/demolition of our current arrangements with the EU has attracted (a) a red herring that I am suggesting we won't have any trade at all with the EU in future and (b) a mysterious claim about the UK's burgeoning cane sugar industry. Oh, and JC saying we shouldn't really talk about this sort of thing until we know exactly what deal we have or haven't cracked up with the EU.

Sorry for that.I think all the air pollution from these disgusting German diesel cars might have temporarily affected my brain!Sugar is sugar,but if you can tell the difference between one sort or another i will concede you are an expert.The fact still remains that we produce more than enough sugar of our own,and despite your best attempts at diversion,you still haven't answered why the Aussies would give up their customers and ship us a product we don't need.

Oh dear Tubby,you having another meltdown?Trying to draw attention away from your little rant about not feeling safe in the UK,when you should be more worried about mentally ill people in the Reich?I do feel your choice of insults this time might be upsetting to your allies, like that mental spastic who believes it is in Japan,or the one that knows many politicians,none of whom are stupid.I see you have your mobile back as you have given yourself a like.Must be you as none of the other droolers are on-line!

I think I may have found a response you will understand,particularly as it appears,by its use of colourful language,to have been written by a sour kraut.
