That's the whole point of Brexit, isn't it? To get in with China, India, rAsia, South America etc. instead of doing silly things like trading with our closest neighbours...

BUT we only want to trade with these far-flung places. They better not be trying to come here with their weirdo voodoo-hoodoo-whatsit cultures :nono:.

OPEN FOR BUSINESS NON EU COUNTRIES QUEUE TO STRIKE TRADE DEALS WITH BRITAIN DESPITE BREXIT VOTE

Discussions are set to take place with Australia, South Korea, Canada, New Zealand, India and potentially even the USA

COUNTRIES around the world are clamouring to start trade talks with Britain following our decision to leave the European Union.
American politicians realise the importance of an agreement and Business Secretary Sajid Javid says we are set for immediate discussions with Australia and South Korea.And sources say both Canada and India have separately approached the Foreign Office for talks following the Brexit vote.

New Zealand Premier John Key has said he may rip up travel plans to fly to Britain in the coming months to discuss a trade deal.

And New Zealand’s trade minister Todd McClay said Britain was a “long- standing friend” and he wanted “to be useful in any way we can be” so is offering its negotiators to help hammer out deals.

US House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan says the USA needs to start negotiating a new free trade deal with Britain to ‘show solidarity’ and ensure a ‘smooth relationship’ post-Brexit.

Mail Online reports the former Republican vice-presidential candidate says the UK is America’s “indispensable ally” and needed to be helped after it decided to leave the European Union.

It's positive news but I'd like to see it reported by a legitimate business-oriented source and not a gutter-rag. If it's only in the Sun / Mail etc. then I suspect a good chunk of this is propably hyperbole designed to stimulate consumer confidence in order to boost the retail sector which has been hit quite badly by Brexit so far. "Everything is awesome guys we're all going to be rich so go go go spend spend spend slluuurrrpp".

I mean I would like to see how it's all phrased when it's an actual news source instead of exaggerated claims of "queuing up" and "clamouring" from the Durpdederhp Times (Sun, Mail, Sky etc.) .
