MANY people may have seen Presidents Obama tell the British people that in any future post Brexit trade deals with the US, Britain could go to the back of the queue.

Well thanks a lot! Many people even on the Remain side of the debate will admit it was a deeply insulting thing to say to the United States’ most loyal ally. I can’t imagine any other President being so dismissive of the UK.

People are not daft they know the whole trade argument is a red herring the EU in its 60 years of existence has never had trade deal with the US neither has the UK for that matter and yet we trade with each other.

The Remain side backed by big money and the political elite is trying to tell the British people they can’t possibly survive on their own. It is nonsense, post Brexit we will be free to trade and make deals with the fastest growing parts of the world like China and India rather than losing control of our borders by being shackled to Europe the only continent stuck in a permanent recession.
