I do hope polite little Britain is truly ready for trade
negotiations where the going can get very rough.

You mean they come in with knuckle dusters? Or what do you
mean? In any case, you may recall that history didn't start on
whatever day it was when the EU took over trade negotiations.
The UK had been doing it for hundreds of years before that.

British pre-EU trade negotiations tended, more than usual, to
be at the end of an Imperial gun barrel and often involved
dark- skinned subjects of the Empire who had little say in what
their country agreed with London.

Every person is out for themself in a trade negotiation. Good
behaviour may have generated good will but we lost that when we
told the EU we were leaving.

It's time for us to grow up and stop whinging.

It's actually the remoaners who are whinging and throwing up the
phantom problems.

Once boisterous Brexiteers seem a bit subdued these days. They're
complaining about how negotiations aren't going as well as
expected.

Everything that needs to be said has been said. We're now totally bored
with remoaners repeating their failed arguments ad nauseam
We are in a weak position and we knowingly put ourselves there.

So waste no more time on it and go WTO - it won't actually cost
us much. I would just leave the NI border open and let the EU
sort it out.

WTO rules are said to cost the UK £6 or 7 billion.

Since the referendum Brexiteers know that such surveys are wrong
and can be safely ignored. Bless the little dears.
Just what I'd expect from Guardian Independent etc. Exporters don't pay
the import tariff - the overseas customers pay it.
