That is.. Not a website.
And how many of those deals are just the same deals you had under the EU? How many are worse versions of what you had under the EU (Like the Japan deal, which is the same as the EU deal, but you only get the leftovers after the EU has been there)
It was in better shape before.
Here's the list for the EU https://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/co...s-and-regions/
Let's compare the top 7 in the UK list:
- Switzerland 37 G£ - Continuation of EU's EFTA agreement for goods (250G€), services (170G€) not included
- Japan 29G£ - Continuation of EU's deal (165G€), but taking the scraps (although describes as "going beyond")
- Iceland and Norway 27G£ - Continuation of EU's EFTA and EEA agreements for goods (111G€), services (33G€) not included
- Turkey 19 G£ - Continuation of EU-Turkey FTA (160G€)
- Singapore 17 G£ - Continuation of EU-Singapore FTA (90G€)
- S. Korea 11 G£ - Continuation of EU-South Korea FTA (109G€)
- SACUM (South Africa Trade bloc) 10G£ - Continuation of EU-SADC Trade Agreement (53 G€). Not a FTA as it is asymmetrical to protect the developing countries.

Oh look, another drive-by Brexit supporting shit-poster with laughably unclear "benefits" and a link to a source that doesn't actually provide specific information to support their view. Must be Saturday.
Maybe point us to the trade agreements that aren't just CTRL-C, CTRL-V of the ones we would have had if we'd stayed in the EU? You might as well just link to the front page of Wikipedia and say "read that, it totally supports my view, honest".

I'm pretty sure that PinkLotus777 and PetalExpress were the same drive-by Brexit ...; similar names and continued the discussion as though they were the same; and also likely someone that recently got banned - but I don't know who as it doesn't seem to be the obvious suspect.
I live in the UK.
We are doing fine.
Average citizen hasn't seen anything different in their lives from Brexit.
All the fear mongering claims that our lives would get considerably worse and the sky would fall were all bullsh*t.
If anything, my own quality of life continues to get better. My house value just keeps on climbing.
I'll probably sell up in a few years and retire to a comfortable life in Spain if it keeps climbing.
This particular point is absolutely true. Oh sure there have been some problems but the fear mongering that existed with regards to the issue was always a load of nonsense, same with the fear mongering the pro-Brexit crowd was spouting if you had stayed by the way.
I think though despite the massive circus from 2016 to 2020 the UK is probably, for now at least, somewhat better off outside.

Yeah, Brits go on holiday to Spain and then eat pie and chips with gravy while drinking pints of bitter in an "English pub" that has British Sky showing football or cricket on the TV and the kind of decoration that wouldn't look amiss at a "Britain First" meet-up.
It is really embarrassing meeting Brits on holiday.
Yeah, it's embarrassing. Me personally I want to go away from that area when I visit countries. I want to see the local culture, the local history, interact with the local people. To me that is so much better than say "Fly to med holiday resort X. Hang with Brits. Eat British food and only leave the hotel to go to the beach." like why spend all the money to move? Is the weather really worth £1k+?
Yeah sure, just like every Brit only goes to Spain to drink in an English pub and watch English football while talking to English people.
Or, to rephrase it slightly differently... you have to get up at 4am to put the towel down because the drunk English tend to pass out on the beach around that time and you might wanna find a clear spot before they do.
