Well personally I don't see the UK getting a good trade deal whether we have a petition or not. Without the EU the UK is desperate for a trade deal and as i said on another post that is about the weakest possible position from which to enter a negotation. And Trump is experienced enough to know it.

And, no it is not a media led campaign, or at least not in the traditional media; it hasn't been going long enough to appear in the press or, as far as i know, on broadcasts. But people on facebook and and Twitter and similar have told their contacts and so on. Surely you realise Trump has said that twitter is a way of bypassing the corrupt media?
