People need to grasp the concept that the bigger bloc or country offers the larger market and so has the upper hand in negotiations. Be that the EU, India or the USA. There's nothing mean about that.
If we had all the trade deals lined up that Liam Fox said we would have, then we might be looking at the country taking less of a long term hit than looks the case now. Regrettably, these deals have not occurred.
