    My impression was that most (if not all) Trade Deals fell under the WTO. I had assumed Britain maintained a Commonwealth trading arrangement with it's former colonies.
    If 'Leaving' is so great, how come all the business people claim it will hinder growth in the preceding years?

    That's because they don't say anything of the sort. Some do but then they like the EU because it keeps out competition. Here is the CEO of JD Witherspoons who runs nearly 1000 pubs in the UK. He said that negotiating with the EU is a complete waste of time over a year ago and he's been proved right. He knows his shit as he sells beer at very competitive prices even in London.

    Ever heard of Open Society, no of course not?? It is a George Soros front and has raised $18 BILLION to fight against the likes of Brexit. There is much that you don't know, glasshopper!!

    Once upon a time. They jacked in the Commonwealth pretty conclusively, and why they suppose it will return to 1902 or whenever I can't imagine - other than that the past is where they live.

    Before May (and after?) are okay. The masses were fed HUGE lies once, ad deserve a chance to reject them.

    Sure. When you find a person who voted for Brexit who thought that meant to remain then I will believe you. Until then, better get ready. May has survived two coup attempts and has made it clear she will not withdraw her notice. Tick Tock.

    Even Wales voted for Brexit, but fossilised old fools like Taffy think they know better.

    Except for the drunks in Scotland and Northern Ireland, most of the UK's square footage supported Brexit. Maybe that explains his resistance
