This week we signed a trade deal with Florida this is why it is important.

One of the better things that the EU has done is to standardise regulations across most parts of the economy so if you want to do set up a bank the rules are the same in 28 countries.

In the US many parts of their economy are controlled at state level so even if Biden wanted to do a free trade deal it would still not cover everything especially the service sectors where the UK has a lot of strength.

This post is not a hurrah for Brexit just simply explaining that what looks like an odd deal with Florida is actually quite important it will also help in the future is the US ever does decide to go down the free trade route because any deal would need the support of the senate so having Florida on board along with the other 5 US states is a start.

Are Brexit voters really less intelligent than Remainers? Scientists say yes.

How many times were brexiteers told that the end of free movement would bring a big influx from non-EU countries?

Record immigration figure announced, largely from India.

It's a no-brainer.

At least the voting public seem to be happy with how things are going….

Have you had alligator?

It tastes like chicken.

Because he is racist, he believes the ethnicity of politicians is directly linked to the policies of government.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Of course for some it will have had an impact, small businesses perhaps and the Music industry but the number of people negatively impacted is far outweighed by the people it has not affected either way.

People complain about traveling abroad well I have been to the EU 3/4 times in the last 2 years it's no big deal. Where there have been delays (minor) it's because the host country couldn't be bothered to have more than 1 or 2 passport staff.

I would like to see a survey where people were asked to give examples as to how it affected them personally. I think you might get a different answer.

FYI

The useless President of the EU has just said that they mucked it up of course her solution is for the UK to rejoin.
