re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
Don't think this surprises, does it? Bring our more expensive, higher quality, more ethically made products down to the standards of those made in the USA, or allow them to bring their products here without issues and it's bound to be an experience.
Seen the labels of some US 'food'? They use additives in place of the additives they used to use to replace natural ingredients as the first set of additives were too expensive.
The massive delays as various countries try and protect their own vested interests are a welcome side-effect. The evidence seems to suggest that trade deals between the USA and pretty much any country are a complete shitbomb.
I'd be fine with keeping the slight tariffs if in return they agree to keep that crap alongside the toxic gack they use in food production on their side of the Atlantic.
Damien kinda has a point. We'd have a weaker hand with the USA on our own potentially. However the strong or weak hand is probably irrelevant as it looks as though our government look across at the USA's lack of employment security, environmental and other regulations, corrupt politics and extreme inequality with envy and visions of themselves and their circles wallowing even deeper in the muck of avarice.
