I'm a little surprised Techno hasn't issued one of his 'politics' warnings, all have been very civil so far...

I have been keeping an eye on this.. ;)

...I look forward to a trade deal with the US so I can buy stuff tariff-free from Good Ground and Tin Soldier.

I'd be on board with that but it would need some substantial changes from the previous TTIP agreement we were looking at in 2016.

Whatever the benefit for aged wargamers such as myself I am sure that overall any trade deal would be massively to the  advantage of the US and in particular their more rapacious corporations.

I predict that in twelve months time it will be as if nothing had changed. 

I agree, everything will mostly carry on as before, after the initial teething troubles are worked out/around.

There will be unintended consequences though.

I'm no longer so confident about that hormone-treated beef.

It's all very well Jay Kay saying that's not a picture of him...But I'm not convinced ! :D

(Don't think I've ever heard anything by Jamiroquai.......I probably wouldn't like it, anyway. ;))

I worry that the "solution" worked out for the Ireland/Northern Ireland/GB border is going to unravel very quickly.

As we have made our USP Financial Services, I am a little concerned that Amsterdam has overtaken London as Europe's biggest share trading centre. Odd as Frankfurt or the Paris Bourse/Euronext were touted as the major competitors. Brexit is surprising lots of people.

The English language, I expect.

Not really a surprise to me now I live over here. The Dutch have a way of organising things so that they run as smoothly as possible without tying it all up with too much red tape and formality. Couldn't believe it when the Maori was thrown out of the New Zealand parliament because he wasn't wearing a tie. Mark Rutte is seen as often without one as with.

I've always the Dutch to be generally pretty relaxed and cool about things. Until they're not. At which point you find an excuse to be elsewhere pronto.
