This is an idea borne of an inflated sense of how great "Great" Britain still is, though. This idea that Britain can sift through the trading CV's of every other country and pick out the cream of the crop, and those countries will be happy to spark up lucrative trade agreements with us to the benefit of Britain... because who wouldn't want the honour of licking the UK's boots, right?
No. If the UK leaves the EU, and thus London's status as an access hub in Europe, I fear we will all very quickly learn just how irrelevant our little island is in global terms.
