[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7137620, member: 718"] This kind of childish arrogance is why we are in a shïthole. You assume that the English are somehow superior to others and have no need to cooperate with them to attain scale and strength in negotiations with other parties. The days of gunboat diplomacy and The Empire have long gone and much of the rest of the world look at you with distain if not worse. They have long had enough of the English arrogance, from Australia, Canada, Africa to America and Asia. To get anywhere with these trading blocks we need to be in our own trading block, which the EU certainly is, and a very effective and powerful one. Now, of course, 'we' have decided to be outside even this, our neighbour's trading block. What do you expect Little England to achieve outside and how? That graph posted earlier is an excellent example or damned lies and statistics in that although most of the EU has a trading surplus with the UK, they are many with a relatively small proportion of their individual country's exports coming to the UK while we are reliant for the vast majority of our exports going to the EU. Anyone who cannot see our overwhelming weakness in this position is either deluded or too thick to understand business and trade. It is going to hurt the UK far more than it is going to hurt them. All trade between us will be badly effected of course and nobody wins, just that some will be badly injured for possibly generation into the future. [/QUOTE]
