I'm not laying bets on May even getting a 1-1 with Trump. We're not at the back of the queue, but we are just a face in the crowd. The only real plus is he plays golf here, so he knows where we are.

Gbye grey sky Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Coming from someone who has proclaimed that he is putting the USA and American jobs first don't expect any favours. He would only be looking at deals which benefit him personally or the USA. Don't be surprised if taking down the offshore wind turbines in sight of his Scottish golf resort is part of any deal too.

BacktoDemocracy Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 There seems to be speculation that a trade deal with the USA will privatise the NHS. Does anyone know how that would work? Look up comments about TTIP which the US are trying to include in all their trade deals and leave countries open to being sued by American firms for loss of profits if those countries change their legislation, democratically don't forget, and it impacts on them, also it would mean that all socially provided services would have to be open to competition, or at least that is what I understand from my reading.

Home and Happy Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I hope they do close the tax evasion loopholes, and that whole dual nationality thing, those who want to be EU citizens and British Citizens I don't care about my own dual citizenship would happily give it up, but I do care about people trying to have their cake and eat it at the expense of the british taxpayer. You pick a country, you live there and you stick with your choice. Not floating back and forth and milking what you can from either, be it the free NHS healthcare, the benefits or tax advantages. As far as I am concerned, if you don't want to be resident in Britain for tax purposes, then you have no rights to anything, including the passport. Talk about quitters, they make me sick. If you are happy to turn your back on the place for something you think is better, you should not be allowed back in and should give up your passport if you hate the UK that much. I hope they do stop Dual Citizenship/International Health Tourism and clamp down on tax evaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quite understand the point you are trying to make, is it about dual citizens of Australia and the UK or citizens of Europe who can travel between countries freely which is perfectly legal until we leave the EU, at which point there will be an awful lot of confusion not least amongst the 3m English who have made Europe their home.

Just skimmed through this http://www.patients4nhs.org.uk/eu-us-free-trade-agreement-or-ttip/ That is scary. I'll read a bit more to get some grounding, but it sounds worrying. No wonder the Tories are all for them. No wonder they take so long to set up. And Brexit was for sovereignty? And then they give their sovereignty to multi nationals. Very worrying.

I'm not being critical but were you unaware of this, if you weren't then I start to get a better understanding of why brexit appeals to people so greatly.
