Shame we didn't have that with about 500m people somehow. He mentions Financial Services in that blabbering - I can guarantee you that the Asian markets including Australasia will not be moving away from Singapore who happen to be on the same time zone for their FS.
Free trade is great but when you add on the cost of transport to the other side of the world it kinda makes it uncompetitive. Like I said, if only we had a market on our doorstep that we could trade freely with.
And tell me honestly - that's just fucking embarrassing isn't it?

There would have been less need for talk of 'giving in' if we hadn't put ourselves at such a negotiating disadvantage by completely frittering away the time between the referendum and the triggering of article 50; and then similarly the original 2-year term of Article 50; and then after that...
Actually, where are we as of today? Other than the obviously welcome news about the Marmite/Vegemite exchange programme.
Still, Buller Buller Buller eh?

Even the boomerangs we manufacture are faulty. They don't come back according to Boris.
