EU and Mercosur agree huge trade deal after 20-year talks

[Devil's advocate]

There had been German (and other European) emigration to places such as Argentina since the late 1880s etc. So by the world wars period there was a reasonable German community in Argentina.
Peron encouraged "ratlines" to transport Nazis and their collaborators to his country after the war.

Yes Peron greatly admired Hitler, although Argentina did declare war on Nazi Germany after hitler killed himself.

Even the uniforms of the Argentine army at the time were similar to SS uniforms.

Brazil on the other hand fought on our side the day after pearl harbour was bombed. Suprising when they must have had ties to faciest Portugal.

Pretty obvious that zero tariffs don't work.

Every industry needs a core within every country (Where possible).

China funds all of it's industry using the central bank .. and here in the UK we get the usual it's illegal to fund British Steel.

Someone is lying.

Why do you think it obvious that zero tariffs don’t work. Surely as a committed right winger you believe in survival of the fittest and letting markets dictate. Or are you really a socialist?

As a lefty "Environmentalist" why do you advocate sending food half way around the world ?

There is no such thing as the "Fittest" in a modern world .. most of the in equalities are down to political policies .. a mchine fitted in one place as opposed to another has little to no difference.

Case in point China using it's central bank to fund their "Fitness".

Whilst Billionaires exploit the wealth opportunites by destroying jobs all over the world - whom also advocate "Environmentalism" but end up causing far, far more environmental damage.

Funny that isn't it ?

I'm a nationalist.

Is there anyone who thinks that the UK will worse off for negotiating its own trade deal with Mercosul?

If we believe climate change is due to human activity then we would not be encouraging the export of our home produced food and importing similar.

Want to bet?

No,but why do you think that UK Ag will not be worse off?

This deal shows it's not worth staying in the EU , let's start selling our produce to our own people for a start , gaps in the supply chain will soon be filled .

 

[Yacker]

Better make your produce dirt cheap bobk or them pesky yanks will fill your supply chain....

I assume you are familiar with the concept of "buying" a market? I shall explain just in case you missed it on the "tinternet"

So you have a surplus of produce and/or capacity and you wish to sell this produce and/or maximise your capacity. Now you have a new market with comparable products at comparable prices yet your competitors (thats you bobk) are selling at a resonable margin but have no resilience and/or third party (UK govt) support to sell at below cost. So as the insurgent with resilience and/or support (the Donald) you can sell at cost - whatever you feel will swing the market while your competition (thats you bobk) wither away.

Welcome to the grim reality of capitalism. Its a lot of fun folk.

Because... in a democracy the negotiators are accountable.
