If you think about it, 2016 was bad politically because it merely set in motion some really awful things. What that means is that the really nasty things are yet to come.

Exactly, hold on for dear life
If real change is gonna happen in 2017, it's because nothing good happened in the last decade And nothing good happened in the last decade.
Other than the big swing to Remain.
In the original poll - 80% thought trade conditions would improve if the UK left the EU - speechless
- 63% Immigration would influence your vote - what a surprise
- 70% Security against terrorism would improve if the UK left the EU - Europeans are terrorists?
Ah that's a local Midlands paper, not the Desmond rags.
The Black country
That poll result would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.

One of the most heavily Asian immigrant populated areas. That swing though...wow.
What is 'Express & Star'? Is is the Daily Express, and the Daily Star merged into one online site, or is it something completely different - looks like it's potentially just a local Midlands paper?
Edit - ignore!
Not as tragic as living around here is. I imagine some of the readers' comments I saw in the E&S before and after the vote must have been originally scrawled in the writers' own shit.
Brexit opinion surveys show huge swing to Remain in UK regions that voted Leave

Here is one of the problems, this person seems to think that the EU is a country and he seems to think that the EU is in charge of the security of sovereign countries.
So a lot of the brain donors, knuckle dragging racists are now in the remain camp. I guess they are now considered to be in the uber class.
Enlightened, no longer with the racists
Will go down well.
Lol, it was obvious the US cares about American self-interest but I wonder how long it will take Brexiters to admit reality is different than their dreams.
A good example is the EU trade deal with Canada. Canada was very keen to get access to the UK market and not because they want to buy a load more from the UK.

What a genius Trump's aide is. I'm convinced nobody had thought about it before.
The US needed the UK to veto any EU resolutions that might have freed Europe from the US. Case in point is EU army. Now that the UK had shot itself in the foot by leaving the EU, the US simply doesn't need the UK anymore.
Wouldn't be hilarious if Nigel Farage is given the task of pinching the UK businesses to the US?

Whatever the UK has the US can match it if not make it better
The UK is 5-6th biggest economy in the world - the US is no 1
The UK has London - the US have New York
The UK is pro business - The US is the capitalist wet dream with workers barely having any rights at all
The UK is isolated - The US is in NAFTA.
The UK have no trade deals (once it leaves the EU) - The US Have 14 trade deal with 20 countries
The only thing the US lack is unrestricted access to the single market + unrestricted access to all EU trade deals. That will soon be a goner
Seems the £350m a week savings was indeed a lie - it's now £450m a week - repaint the bus - the gullibles are waiting at the bus stop.

The comment sections are always the best.
They are always good for a laugh , but it depresses me how ignorant so many people can be
Concerning the article itself, they didn't took into account the huge expense that represents the custom administration and the huge amount of officers that will be needed to control the goods entering and leaving the UK, they also didn't took into account the fact that the majority of UK's participation go back to the UK.
And what are the 12bn of possible trades, services or goods? And who are the clients?
So feck all has happened yet ?
I was sarcastic, didn't think it was necessary to add a smilie or white text.
It's obvious that the US would be fine to negotiate a trade deal with the post-Brexit UK - one that serves their very own needs.
We're waiting for Paul to update us on that count
Aah but this will improve employment, thousands of highly trained customs officers and civil servants are just waiting to sort out the customs duties, import and export licences, VAT returns , more police to control the queues at the ports - damn that's going to cost a lot of money. On the other hand if they haven't got any trade deals in place the ports may be very quiet and the UK becomes self-sufficient then they would have no need for trade partners.
Latest news - May has outlined her plan for Brexit and told the EU that she wants her cake, eat it, and wants an additional cake which is red, white and blue.
The EU said "No, try again".
May said she has no plan B and will have another think and get back to the EU in 2018.

I sincerely apologise mate. As a veteran poster i should know better. To my defence certain things being said in here makes you doubt sarcasm.
The US cares only about the US. The uk will learn that the hard way
I'm sure the US cares about one of it's biggest investors, 5 years ago THE biggest investor
"At year-end 2012, the UK - by investing $487 billion in the U.S. - was almost $200 billion ahead of the next large investor (Japan)."
That's peanuts. Apple alone is worth more than that.
I guess the UK overrates itself massively even on the other side of the Atlantic sea. I have a feeling the US will do just fine irrespective whether the UK's economy does well or struggles.
What's for certain is business does move. If they can get their fingers on a big chunk of London's financial services then they will.
No need to apologize, mate, I shouldn't have assumed my sarcasm was obvious when it wasn't.
Where do you get this BS from? The EU doesn't want a deal with the UK
Pragmatism will reign at the end of the day.Where do you get this BS from? The EU doesn't want a deal with the UK
The more time passes, the more is evident that the EU is lining up for a hard Brexit. 'Pragmatism' will only reign if the UK accept the 4 principles, something it doesn't seem ready to do. Its not the EU whose mentioning cliff edge etc
Sounds like the desperate mantra of the Leave camp. You are aware that there's a difference between 'doesn't want' and 'doesn't want that much'?Where do you get this BS from? The EU doesn't want a deal with the UK
