Are we allowed to call the British public who voted for this nonsense stupid yet? Or do we still have to cater to their sensitive feelings

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
So if there is no trade deal with US (and other countries). What are the trade conditions that the UK operates with the US (and other countries)?

Sadly, you’re right. The Daily Mail might polish the turd but currency markets don’t.
As long as the UK don't break the NI protocol they'll carry on as before with certain agreements on certain products but mainly on WTO terms as with all the countries they don't have deals with.
They have trade deals that were copied from the EU negotiated deals and the really poor Australia and NZ deals which add nothing or even make the UK worse off. Those are all little extras but nothing major.
The main deal is with the EU which is a vastly watered down trade agreement with the added severely damaging complication of no longer being in the Customs Union and more grace periods ending over the coming years.
Of course if the UK do break the NIP then tariff barriers will be raised by the EU and probably the USA.
Still to come, trying to get trade deals with other unknown countries, which will add nothing and the new UKCA certification (instead of the EU CE standards) which will also cause untold problems.
Both Labour and the Tories are pandering to these idiots.
I thought that for a while they will carry on with the EU trade agreements with most of the countries till a new agreement will be reached, but purely WTO? I thought that was a very bad scenario...
Thanks for the explanation
They've copied just about all the EU agreements with minor alterations here and there. There's nothing planned on the horizon. The CPTTP rarely gets mentioned nowadays with Asia but wouldn't add anything really.
The EU as no.1 and the USA as a distant no.2 will always be their main trading partners but they seemed determined to mess those up.
Who needs America anyway...
This will put Britain on the map!
A whole £10m market. He probably should have kept quiet.
Also it's a bit misleading, as usual, they have access to the market, not they have sold any.
It's like Truss claiming Japan won't put tariffs on UK milk products - because they don't buy them.
The gullibles will be fooled though.

Send them to Mongolia!

You can't mate no or they've threatened to do even more stupid things in future.

It's a complete disaster but we can't tell people because it might upset their feelings.
So when is it going to be politically acceptable to have a mainstream party campaign for re-join?
I'm going to guess 2029 election? with a view to holding a referendum on joining the single market? (if the Eu would have us of course)

Even telling them would make square root of fk all difference. The cretins in government need a fans travel to Ed Woodwards house type of moment to shake them up imo

This is it lads, the beginning of the end.

They don't believe you anyway. It's all down to the wat in Ukraine. Everything we can't get in shops is because of the war.
Shouldn't they have much thicker skin though? Considering the Venn diagram of brexiteers and people using snowflake unironically is probably very close to a perfect circle, they should.
Yeah but they never practice what they preach just like the free speech enthusiasts who suddenly shout you down if they don't like what you are saying (e.g the truth). Labour doesn't even need to reverse brexit but just promote better relationships with the EU with small steps like back in the customs union will help. I'm sick of being held to ransom about a decision made on a vote which no one had a clue what they were voting for over 6 years ago.
It's all the EU's fault, why can't I have the same benefits like when I was in the EU but pay none of the money.
Are prots more likely to be atheists or is that just an assumption with zero supporting evidence?
Protestant rates are falling because they're dying more than Catholics, basically, due to an older population with higher mortality rates, and more people are being born as Catholic than Protestant. It's a trend that will only continue.
I think it's worth noting that for a lot of people up north, identifying as Catholic or Prod vs Atheist isn't really a religious statement, more about your overall identity. It's a different meaning to down here in Ireland where atheism rates are massively on the up because people don't want to be considered Catholic (for obvious reasons).
Cheers, that makes sense. How big a deal is it unless you get a referendum on reunifying?
Ah I dunno
the logistics of the whole thing are insane to me, it will take years, can't see it happening in the next decade anyway. There are also a lot of reservations down south about our ability to "absorb" the North given their reliance on Westminster for so much funding. There would have to be a very, very long bedding in period where the UK still support NI. Also, a lot of Catholics have historically rejected unification too because the NHS is a much better health service than the HSE, they have jobs with the UK Civil service etc. so it's not simple for them either. It's a mouth wateringly huge undertaking if it does happen so, hopefully, unlike this thread's namesake, it's done slowly and carefully. It'll happen but it could take a long time.That sounds a massive headache and add in Northern Ireland's share the mega UK debt pile. I'm sure Ireland would baulk at taking that on, plus the orange people marching in Ireland would be a sight.Ah I dunno

At least they knew what they voted for.

Pound's collapsed against the Mongolian Tugrik. The UK could sell a few more Frankenchickens if they can convince KFC Mongolia to buy them.
Wasn’t expecting to see this in my feed today…
It really would be hilarious if it wasn’t so fecking tragic
The USA doesn't need a trade deal with the UK, in any case. They are a virtually self-sustaining superpower.
Well said Ken Clarke.
But of course, those who voted for Brexit will never ever admit that it was anything but a colossal stitch up. Tragic really.
Whilst the point still stands, it's not actually Ken Clarke's account.
No they don't.
Trade deals are made too much of anyway. Yes they assist in certain aspects but the main point about trade is that you have something the other party wants to buy and to have the least amount of barriers possible.
By the UK leaving the EU, barriers went up everywhere and the countries who did want to buy UK products were mainly in the EU. Making trade more difficult just makes them look elsewhere.
Brexit could never possibly be a success.
not yet
a 25% drop from June 21st 2016 would be under one euro (about 98 cents)
Give it a couple of weeks though and could be right
When I first heard that the UK were holding the EU referendum in November 2015 the pound has fallen from above $1.50 and €1.40 then to what it is now.
Plus, it was above $2 as recently as 2007. That's a 50% drop in 15 years.
