Whoops. Somebody should tell the Brits.

“Britain could join trans-Atlantic trade alliance bigger than the EU if there is no deal on Brexit”
(Article only _two_ days old at time of writing!)
- pjc50 9y agoBrexiteers have been pushing nonsense like this for ages, usually under the delusion that Britain and America would be equal partners. Meanwhile we're facing another Trump related trade dispute with Canada that affects the UK: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-41592474 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-41592474 What's not stated in all of this is that the collapse of a major employer plus other Brexit fallout plus the collapse of devolved government in NI could result in a resumption of terrorist violence.
