I find it laughable just how naive so many are on here.
That they reckon the entire world is queueing up to be
nice to the UK in any deals.

You don't necessarily need a deal to buy/sell
to trade with the rest of the world.

You don't need any deal at all to buy from anyone.
They will always be delighted to take your money.

Selling may be a different matter, though.
For that you need to be competitive with rivals.

Nope. The WTO rules mean that while ever any
of your competitors have a deal, you get to sell
under the same deal.

Brothers was the only store in town.

World trade was never anything like that.
