Britain secures agreement to join Indo-Pacific trade bloc
- Thread starter Mrwong
- Start date
Im not suggesting anything. I'm asking you to comment about two specific points that were highlighted as some of the most restrictive parts of being within the EU, which is why we needed to leave to give us the freedom to do what was best for us and not have anyone dictate to us. Something with all your squirming around, you still haven't addressed.
Now this revisionism at its finest! LMAO
Compromises [aka loss of "sovereignty"] is exactly what we said does happen with all trade agreements ! Hahaha. It was the Brexit side that said we could have our cake and eat it, without any compromises. Here's a reply just yesterday about a point that we wouldn't get a trade deal with the US if we didn't do want they wanted.
Compromise was not a word in the lexicon of the Leave EU campaign.
Anyway, enjoy your 0.08% boost over 10 yrs, try not to spend it all at once! LOL

Here you go (they are our government's own estimates and it's 0.08% not 0.8%):
Britain to join Indo-Pacific trade bloc in biggest trade deal since Brexit
The U.K. said this was the country's largest post-Brexit trade deal and makes it the first European nation to join the CPTPP.

One also has to think about the environmental impact from trading much more with countries on the other side of the world.

I think you are struggling with the difference between a free trade deal and, as I said before, the horrors of EU membership - they are quite different.
When you say ‘brexit side’ who exactly do you mean? Can you share some examples where someone said that we would force one sided trade deals on the rest of the world?
There is currently no deal with the US so pointless debating hypotheticals.
Thanks the doc is linked in that article.Here you go (they are our government's own estimates and it's 0.08% not 0.8%):

Coming up with, having a say and voting on key rules and regulations as well as unfettered access and frictionless trade with 500 million of the richest people on the planet is not a horror. You will find that we will have much less sovereignty in CPTPP.

'Horrors'? The UK voted with the majority in most cases, only voting against EU laws 2% of the time since 1999. I'd like to see if there were any 'significant' things our vote was on the defeated side.
Anyhow, I think there are many from all sides that would go for one of the variants of Leave that was proposed, being in the single market. We did help create the thing after all.
Thatcher's greatest legacy, the single market....she will be spinning in her grave at the morons that have taken over her party.

Haha but this nails it. Thankfully this period of the UK destroying itself for a laugh down the pub is going to end in 18 months and all the traitors will have to apologise and the colour purple will be banned and all toilet seats will have Farage’s face on them as is only right.

To be boring though, just like “Brexit benefits” the CPTPP membership “benefits” have not been mentioned once. I mean, surely there must be a list? Maybe my joking list of cheaper palm oil and Protons is the best shot at this? Surely I can’t be on the money just by joking because some brains have thought this through?? Surely?

I’m just putting the underground structure in now, won’t be long.
Durian. I'm going to keep saying it. Prices of Durian will plummet. In the face of inflation it will become the new national dish.

If you haven’t been the butt of the classic south asian “trick a westerner into eating Durian” scam you haven’t lived
So, seeing the whetherspoon masses gagging on it as a brexit benefit will be entertaining.

With poor quality standards and a huge environmental impact. So no it's not free. Cheap is not a substitute for quality.
