We are all hoping for decent trade deals with the rest of the world when Brexit happens.

Unfortunately our friends in America are starting to make our life difficult:

Boeing don't even make that class of aircraft so I guess that they want the market clear for their next product or hope to be able to sell their current product in that space?

Our farmers are also under threat with potential subsidies being lost and both America and Canada don't want the UK to remain in the EU quota system which would protect our farmers on price and us for quality:

No no no, don't you remember? Everybody will be desperate to deal with us and we will be able to negotiate even better deals than the EU can!

Surely yoy remember, a price worth paying and all that.

No, a repeat of the Scottish independence pitch by the SNP.

Boeing has been bleating about unfair British and Canadian subsidies for Bombardier. I haven't spotted any ripostes by the governments of these countries. Are they guilty or not?

I believe that Boeing gets huge subsidies as well. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38131611

It seems totally mad as mentioned, Boeing doesn't even compete in the same area. A bit like Ford going after Reliant.

The more I think about it, the more I believe that if the "out" politicians were company directors selling investments in the same way that they sold Brexit, they would be stuck off, or jailed for fraud!
