The UK is the supplicant in this negotiation and we can

No we wont

we will walk away

Yup. And soon realise there are no countries left to walk away
from.

That was India. Last November Austrialia was highly critical of
our post Brexit trade plans.

If we can't strike a deal with friendly ex-Commonwealth countries
like India and Australia then we will find it even harder
striking good deals with other countries.

Big players like China and the US show all the signs of making it
hard for us.

What's left? Maybe we will strike a deal with South Africa. In
exchange for more of their immigrants, no doubt.

The whole point. We need trade deals to replace the EU. And
despite the optimists saying the world would be queueing up to do
deals with the UK post Brexit, absolutely no sign of that.

Especially the even wilder optimism that other countries would
fall over themselves to give a really good deal to the UK. Like we
were somehow entitled to one.

Of course all of them will be delighted to flood the UK with
*their* goods, once out of the EU.

Any notion that we will get cushy trade deals is bonkers. The only
queue forming to do trade with post-Brexit Britain is composed of
vultures waiting to squeeze us for all we've got.

It is true that there are some vultures in the list, but they aren't all
vultures

it is also true that there are the counties that the press lists as being at
the top of the list

But they are wrong. The vultures will be at the bottom of this list when we
come do do the deals.
