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.

Donald Trump and others may declare undying friendship with the UK
but they're in that queue.

Quite. And who can blame any country wanting the best deal for themselves?
Human nature. Which is why any new trade deal negotiations takes many many
years.

And Brexiteers think it will be good to get away from EU red tape...

It's a shame we couldn't run the who Brexit thing (if we must at all)
as a EU approved social experiment ... pretend we have left (with a
hard Brexit) and see how we get on for a couple of years. If it works
then we could go for it for real and if it doesn't we just go back to
where we were. ;-)

Leaving wouldn't be worth it for many member states of course, so only
a handful might want to follow site if it worked for us.

The only difference with us is we aren't actually part of the EU
landmass, other than via a tunnel. ;-)
