Turkey, with a GDP by some estimates, about the same as London, but a better place to invest and build transits than the UK.... I guess there are less problems with unions there. If there's a strike, the government will shoot them, if the company asks nicely.

No, I never posted that Deutsche Bank owed 50 times the GDP of Germany anywhere at anytime. It's a bank in the sh!t though and you and your cat will find out how much, sooner than you can smoke another joint.....

You are on drugs...

What, like Turkey?

You realise that I didn't write a word of the post. It was a cut and paste job from an article by the BBC I linked. I travel to China often and this year will be buying over $5M worth of raw materials. Not from the Golden Donkey, though, pal....

UK explores multi-billion pound free trade deal with China Chancellor Philip Hammond has begun discussions with China on an ambitious free trade deal which could see greater access for major Chinese banks and businesses to the UK economy. The Chancellor told the BBC it was time to explore "new opportunities" across the world, including with China, one of the UK's biggest inward investors. That is despite a short term economic shock from leaving the European Union. He added that the EU is not in "punishment mode" over the Brexit vote. "What we now need to do is get on with it in a way that minimises the economic impact on the UK economy in the short term and maximises the benefit in the long term," Mr Hammond said, admitting that there had been "global disappointment" about the Brexit vote. Chinese state media reported earlier in the month that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce wants to do a UK free trade deal. At the G20 many countries are now moving into practical mode - the Chancellor campaigned against leaving the EU and China argued against it, but Mr Hammond has clearly signalled that is now a matter for the history books. The British public have spoken. The present challenge is seeing how the fifth largest economy in the world can take advantage of that decision, rebuilding a "close" trading relationship with the EU and new economic relationships with countries, like China, which, it should be remembered, has never had a free trade agreement with any EU country.

Frau Merkel speaks:

Another referendum on Scottish independence will never happen. The myth that Scotland voted to remain in the EU is total b0ll0x. They voted in favour of the UK remaining in the EU. So, constitutionally they need to: Vote to leave the UK Vote for Scotland to join the EU As I said, that will never happen and is only a fantasy for Wee Jimmy Krankie. Joining the EU would be a financial disaster for an independent Scotland and Jocks are too fond of holding on to their money. Mind you, without free movement of labour, what a laugh it would be putting border posts back up in Scotland....

On the basis of e.g. shale oil production or food output, land mass is more important than population as a measure of the value of imported goods. If you're interested in cheap goods based on exploited local labour, then population size is more important. Personally, lower-cost energy and food supplies for the UK, seem more attractive than a cheap pair of trainers...

Total b0ll0x as usual. Have another Werthers Original and go and have a lie down, won't you. Of course we can negotiate deals before we leave the EU. As the article you didn't bother to read says: None as blind as those that won't see...

For all the cry baby Remainers on this thread, please dry your eyes just long enough to read this article in today's Times. Read the frightened posts on this thread and laugh at the Remainers that swallowed the b0ll0x that was published by the establishment.

It is, IMHO, the combination of the cost of being in the EU, both in cash and added overheads together with having a completely overvalued currency in the euro. They will exit the EU and euro within a year and revert to the drachma and if you think that the pound has crashed, wait for their old currency to hit the currency markets. It will be a bloodbath, with the lire, franc and peso sinking when those currencies are revived.

England left-back Ryan Bertrand has committed his future to Southampton, signing a new five-year contract.

The reality is a bit more complicated than that, which is why the referendum decision was so difficult to explain: The British taxpayers provided Ireland with a backdoor bail-out of more than £14bn via the Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group, together with £7bn in Government loans, when their economy went t!ts up in 2008-2009. I'm sure the Irish Nationalists will show their gratitude to the UK Government in their customary manner....

Joining the EU has been a real success for Italy: Read more here and be thankful we won't have to help bail them out, with all the rest. Safer in? You're having a laugh. The IMF also now expects the eurozone's economy to grow by 1.6% this year and 1.4% in 2017. Before the referendum the IMF had predicted growth of 1.7% for both years. Arma-fúckín-geddon....

Another post that littered this thread like so many dog turds. I expect a full apology and some degree of grovelling before I post any further nuggets for you losers to masturbate over....

Complete load of alarmist b0ll0x. - Fool..... I'd change your posting image to one of these:

The government are reflecting the decision of the electorate.

Further confirmation of the opening post, here. Just to confirm, George Osborne was a remainer....

More good news here.

For the bed wetters out there, the optimistic tone of this thread with respect to trade, seems to have caught on in government, here. Meanwhile, up north: The falling value of sterling couldn't have hurt the prospects for steel exports, either.... Great to see jobs saved and more good news to come, I'm sure. I bet Ford regrets taking the EU money and f** ckin off to Turkey to build Transits. €80m grant to a US company from the EU to take jobs from Southampton and place them in Turkey. Scandalous...

You really need to understand that you don't need a trade treaty to trade. The EU doesn't have one with either the US or China, but we could.

Screw them. Let's join NAFTA. 440 million customers, sell in dollars, not cr@ppy euros and no political interference. An added bonus that one of the members is a commonwealth country. You only have to go to Southampton Docks to see where the majority of the JLR cars are shipped and it's not the IoW.

Personally, I think that's a load of cr@p. Of course we can negotiate trade deals now. Maybe we can't sign them, but I can't believe we can't negotiate them. Anyway, what are they going to do if we do? Throw us out of the EU? Invade us? Just a bunch of jobsworths that we didn't vote for...

Bl00dy freedom of movement....
