Don’t forget who is coming to pillage post-Brexit Britain
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
By TruePublica: No country has willingly left a postwar trading bloc, especially one of the three global super-powers of today.

And the so-called trade deal Boris Johnson has signed with the EU is very weak. Much of that weakness will develop over the coming months, especially as 80 per cent of Britain’s economy has yet to be negotiated within that agreement.
