LED BY QUEEN VICTORIA 150 YEARS AGO, PAX BRITTANICA AND FREE TRADE ENABLED GREAT BRITAIN TO GOVERN SOME 25% OF THE WORLD’S POPULATION; HOWEVER LAST THURSDAY, THE WORLD’S 5TH LARGEST ECONOMY VOLUNTARILY WITHDREW FROM THE WORLD COMMUNITY.

BOTH THE EU AND UK’S SUPPLY CHAIN WILL BE DEEPLY AFFECTED

BY THIS VOTE.

THIS DECISION CREATES FRAGMENTED AGREEMENTS WHICH

NOW NEED TO BE PUT IN PLACE WITH ALL COUNTRIES. EFFICIENCY IN FREE TRADE WILL PERHAPS NOT

BE SO SIMPLE ANY MORE.

ECONOMIC CARNAGE

STOCK MARKETS PLUNGED WORLDWIDE

THE BRITISH POUND DROPPED TO A 31-YEAR LOW

POLITICAL EXTREMISTS MARIE LEPEN AND DONALD TRUMP EXULTED IN THEIR POTENTIAL ABILITY TO BUILD NEW WALLS

THE IMMEDIATE RESULT

THIS IS A SAD DAY FOR EUROPE AND BRITAIN.

- GERMAN FOREIGN MINISTER FRANK-WALTER

THE UK NOW NEEDS TO SIGN NEW TRADE TREATIES WITH VIRTUALLY EVERY COUNTRY WORLDWIDE.

WHAT DO WE KNOW, OTHER THAN THE

UK’S TRADE LINKS WITH EUROPE WILL

BE AT THE FOREFRONT OF

THEIR EXIT NEGOTIATIONS WITH

THE EU?

DON'T REBUFF TRADE TREATIES

WHILE MANY DISMISS TRADE TREATIES AS POLITICAL PUBLIC RELATIONS, THESE TREATIES DETERMINE THE AMOUNT (IF ANY) OF IMPORT DUTY WHICH HELPS DETERMINE IF TRADE IS POSSIBLE BETWEEN SPECIFIC COUNTRIES.

FOLLOWING THE UPCOMING US ELECTION, BRITAIN MIGHT FIND ITSELF ATTEMPTING TO NEGOTIATE A NEW TRADE DEAL WITH AN ANTI-TRADE DONALD TRUMP AND A BITTERLY DIVIDED US CONGRESS.

LEAVING THE EU PUTS BRITAIN IN THE SAME TRADE CATEGORY OF NOW FELLOW NON-EU STATES ALBANIA AND SERBIA, BOTH OF WHOSE BEST KNOWN EXPORTS, UNFORTUNATELY, ARE ORGANIZED CRIME AND YOUNG PROSTITUTES.

SHIPS WILL SAIL, BUT ARE EXPORTS

AT RISK?

SCOTTISH FIRST MINISTER NICOLA STURGEON CALLED FOR A PLEBISCITE ON SCOTLAND’S INDEPENDENCE. NORTHERN IRELAND ALSO VOTED “REMAIN;” BREXIT PUTS THEIR EU EXPORTS AT RISK, AND NEITHER SCOTLAND OR N. IRELAND FIND A POTENTIAL LOSS OF JOBS TO BE ACCEPTABLE,

BOTH THE EU AND UK’S SUPPLY CHAIN WILL BE DEEPLY AFFECTED BY THE VOTE. JOBS, TRADE AND INVESTMENT WILL BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED; THE ONLY QUESTION IS BY HOW MUCH AND WHEN.

YES, SHIPS WILL CONTINUE TO SAIL, AND GOODS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIP; THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW MUCH BREXIT RESTRICTS TRADE AND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS VOLUME.
