Which bits of the rest of the world? Those who invested here and now wish they hadn't, those who couldn't give a shit about us, or those whom we've fucked over in the past and are now enjoying seeing us squirm?

You're right about the balance of trade, but we have to negotiate trade with all of those people. Those people already have deals with one another, yet we have to start from scratch. Put yourself in their position; if you have someone screaming how important they are and you're not, yet you know they don't have a leg to stand on, how much would you tolerate their arrogance?

It's this attitude that really riles me amongst the nationalists. This attitude that somehow the others will do what they're told because we're better than them. And it goes all the way to the top, as exemplified by Mrs. May's recent trip to Japan. She brought along a bunch of company bigwigs yet was essentially told "We wrote a long document setting out what you need to do, we're going to prioritise the EU and a nutcase has just lobbed a missile over us so we have more important things to deal with. Fuck off."
