And yet you have voted for something which is almost certainly going to make so many worse off through increased foodstuff costs and for a very likely economic downturn which, in turn, means less tax revenue for public services. And that will be the tip of the Brexit iceberg.

Thanks very much for your 'pride' and 'patriotism' from all those that will hit negatively by it. With friends like you and your ilk the UK doesn't need enemies.

And "Trump won't betray Britain" ?- Emotive claptrap from a sentimentalist. He will do what he thinks is in his and the US's best interests.

Notice i put 'his' first.

Individualists and egalitarians don't tend to be very good in wars.

There were very few people who could be described as being from the 'progressive' left back when this country fought a world war.

Yeah I did vote for British independence from the EU.

I value that notion more than just money. I hope and expect that we can do well....but I believe in the nation state.

Hell... you consider yourself Scottish.....Even though you won't sodding live there and as I remember you supported Scottish independence on these forums.....Well that's an outcome that would have almost certainly have resulted in Scotland being worse off. Yet you supported it.....Money didn't seem to matter so much then did it?

And then you have the cheek to type that up. At least I am consistent.

Hypocrite.

I do agree that it's all to play for.

Also, I agree that Trump puts his own country's interests first....hell he should. However, it's obvious that all things being equal he has a preference for this country....Which is more than we can say for Obama.

Apparently his officials use to s****** at the term 'special relationship'. Well, we don't get that anymore.

I hope we get something done...In fact I'm sure we will have something sorted around 2020.

This is a trading nation with vast links both historical and commercial. Our reputation is better than most. So we are better placed than most.

Little of that is down to the left of course. The ideological left rarely push this country forward in terms of trade. Lots of them complain while asking those who do make money for tax handouts.

Not a single named source, not a single verifiable fact from the pro-EU Times

Let's ask assistant to Trump and director of the White House National Trade Council Peter Navarro shall we?

"Good news". To you, and the anti-brexit press contingent you gorge yourself on, this is "good news" as anything that will disadvantage this country in the face of leaving a leeching, corrupt, power-grabbing political experiment is to be venerated and celebrated. You are pathetic, and yes, you now-minority remainiac rump are unpatriotic.

So, OK. Let's assume Mr "unnamed source conveniently dropping a politically inopportune bombshell on the first weekend press-cycle after a snap election was called based almost entirely on Brexit" is correct, and Paul Ryan and Peter Navarro are incorrect.

What changes? What is our current trading arrangement with the US? Exactly as it is when we leave. Nothing changes.

Next question:
What is the average bilateral trade agreement timescale for the US, as compared to multilateral with the EU?

Next question:
Is the largest economy in the world only capable of conducting trade negotiations with one entity at a time? How many trade negotiations is the US currently engaged in?

Pathetic, remainiacs. Just pathetic.

I do think this story is trite.

It may be that the President is inclined towards the EU as it is a power bloc and the UK is in a position umknown but he does not mean to slight us, its just his job.

We trade ok with them as you say why change it - a trade deal will really screw things up.

Anyone who delights in the prospect of our country failing or suffering, so that it vindicates their views, is unpatriotic in my view.

The glee with which you regurgitate any bilge suggesting the UK is on the wrong path puts you fairly high up the list. I'm all for reporting the downsides of a situation, incidentally, but you are a sucker for sensationalist news-lite.

Hitler, Franco and Oswald Mosley would all have called you unpatriotic..which perhaps sums up the credibility to be given to such sentiments

Oswald Mosley:"If you love our country you are national, and if you love our people you are a socialist.".Take the two together and you are a...

Hitler: "If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."...

That's a tad unpatriotic of you,sir

I love my country so much that I keep voting for the party that is selling our country piece by piece to foreigners. It's taking back control. I won't moan about the amount of empty houses belonging to foreign billionaires because I vote for the people that allow it to happen.
