What would you consider to be a positive sign if you do not count this as one.

This is potentially positive but it's not going to be a massive deal. I am sure that we could find a fair amount to trade with Australia but I can't think of much off the top of my head. I can't see why they'd buy vehicles or perishable goods from us because of the sheer distance involved but I can't pretend to be a trade expert.

I read today that we trade the same amount with Sweden as Canada. Perhaps Canada would be a good deal if we can increase the trade.

When will the people of Londonland realise it wasn't about the economy or immigration well maybe it should be when the population of Londonland is made up of 36% immigrants .What i voted leave for was we did not sign up to the rules and laws that come from unelected jobsworths when we joined the common market .Many brave men and women gave up there lives fighting for us to stop us being ruled by others. And now what we have in this country are spoiled children who are now so called educated adults who didnt even research the issues of the referendum and march around London led by a bloke in a pink hat thinking that the minority view is right .And dont even start me on Scotland one thing if they want to leave the UK then let the English vote as well and then we will finally get rid of them and put a Electric fence along the top of Hadrian's Wall.:rotfl:

Did you miss the European parliamentary elections in 2014?

Did I miss the House of Lords elections....?

i can only assume that your next move will be to campaign for civil servants and members of the House of Lords to be elected so that your grand vision can come true.

EU labelling regulations has been a life saver, literally;), for those of us with food allergies and intolerances. :T

I guess you are equating Juncker with the British Cabinet Secretary? If so then your case is unusually weak. We rarely if ever hear from the Cabinet Secretary yet regularly get Juncker laying down the law according to his "civil service".
I also have to assume that you are claiming that we are ruled by the House of Lords. This also seems to be adjusting the facts to suit your theory.
Have I misunderstood your points?

Do you think that the laws of the UK are written by MPs? It works in the same way as the European Parliament.

Our parliament has two houses plus the monarch. The British electorate vote for the smaller of the two houses. In order to obtain full control of the country, as aspired to by many, surely the only possible solution is to ensure that both houses are filled with elected members.

Probably akin to an argument based upon the belief that anyone who even considered voting for Brexit was a xenophobe eh Colsten?

Aw bless.
I was alive when that happened but it was an awful long time ago. Try to keep up with today.
