Just been on the news that BP are having to put on hold expanding gas

Thought we had voted to 'take back control' from the EU. And open up new
markets with countries outside the EU - the US being one of the largest.

But they already apparently have control over our natural resources. I
assume we'll see Farage and Rees Mogg on TV shortly denouncing the US?

A typical response for a Remoaner to blame US sanctions on Brexit.

What else are you going to blame on Brexit?

You really are scraping the barrel for excuses. Seriously, can't you
think of anything better?

Is the US part of the EU, then? You live and learn.

Perhaps you could remove your head from the Brexit sand, take off your
rose tinted specs, and think about it?

Is it totally beyond you to understand your dream of making new trade
agreements with major players after we leave the EU is simply pie in the
sky? If you just look at current evidence like this?

The US is often quoted as being a natural partner for the UK post Brexit.
But likely only on *their* terms.
