I never felt that a trade deal with the US would be a balanced agreement.

More a tool for the US to take a little too much control over our internal government.

Glad this is off the table. We were highly likely to have been the junior partner and would have had to lower some safety standards, notably food.

There's no way we were going to get a good deal as the small, weaker partner.

I’m now starting to think there is no ‘oven ready deal’ either. Mind you, if there was we can’t afford to put the oven on!

Just as well really. Every time it's raised on here we are told it leads to poor food health standards like chlorine chicken so better of without it perhaps. We already do more trade with them than any other country so why risk it

Definitely better without it and the consequences.

The US corporations that funded the brexit campaigns aren't going to give up easily though, they'll be pushing for the deal and for the UK to lower their standards and put the NHS on the table. They'll be expecting a return for their brexit investment.

I’m no fan of the US and always thought the ‘special relationship’ one sided , but do you really know / believe that?

Maybe Biden is doing us a favour in a round about way. A bit of a suspicion is the government is preparing the way to implement changes to the NI protocol. The U.S. have repeatedly said that unilateral change to the protocol will scupper a trade deal. Maybe the government are now saying well we don't expect a trade deal anyway and therefore remove America's threat. Hopefully it's just my suspicious side coming out and I'm being unfair

So in summary the remainder/brexiter argument on this issue has now arrived at the following.

Brexiter - yeha! we’re getting a cushty US trade deal!

remainer - eugh we’ll get chlorinated chicken!

Brexiter - well don’t buy it then! (rolls eyes…..fucking remoaners)

Remainer - er…..about that promised trade deal…..

Brexiter - phew at least we not getting chlorinated chicken - never wanted it anyway!

I think that about sums it up - although i probably needed to say ‘oven ready’ somewhere

TBF, leavers are a broad church and the brilliance of the Brexit campaign is there was something most people could hang their hat on. So in the above that's two different leave voters in the convo.

I would concur with your statement that the US want to sell us cheap chlorinated chicken way below our normal food standards.

My point is that Brexit was a lie to the gullible that was swallowed hook, line and sinker.

Promoted by disaster capitalists regardless of the economic damage it has done and will continue to do so.

So much for all the Brexit benefits…. Yes you have actually been cheated.

Is it possible to be double arsehole?

As a remain voter the much touted Brexit nirvana of a US trade deal being off the table is actually generating mixed feelings!

The Good

Far inferior food standards and sheer production scale means that consumers aren’t seduced by cheap prices for horrible product and UK farmers might still have a business.

The Bad

How are we going to make up for the lost revenue generated by free trade as member of the EU without a USA deal?

The Ugly

The UK will get increasingly desperate for trade deals of scale and will bend over backwards to get them. Now that India has overtaken the UK as worlds 5th biggest economy, we will be junior partner in that deal!
