I just had to explain to Ann Widdecombe that Japan is a little further than 2000 miles away, and that the countries within 2000 miles of us ARE EU COUNTRIES!
P.S. We signed a "continuity" trade deal with Switzerland & Liechtenstein but:
a) In both GDP and trade volume, they're about 4% of the EU.
b) That 4% will fall, because if there's No-Deal, Swiss trade falls due to basic geography and mutual recognition agreements will fail too.
I calculated that 4% figure from the 31 billion in trade the government said we do with Switzerland when they announced the agreement.
Well today, that same government said the borders are ***** in January. So exporting to Switzerland might not be as easy. news.sky.com/story/brexit-m…
So the more accurate question would be "Name a country that doesn't have any trade deals with over 95% of the GDP within 2000miles?" but it doesn't have the same ring to it.
And if Switzerland is your last line of defence against admitting you committed economic suicide...😬

If a white police officer refuses to arrest a sex offender becsuse they don't want to be called racist...
They're NOT doing it to protect ethnic minorities...
They're doing it to protect their own WHITE ass.
That's not political correctness!!
This entire conversation is driven by people with no understanding of how to address issues of racism, using that as an argument to stop addressing issues of racism.
That is why the ROTHERHAM Casey Report talked about "misplaced political correctness".
Because no civil rights movement in human history has EVER marched with the objective of helping sex offenders escape justice.
