Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Lets look at the details of BWMs link.

One of Trump's favourite catchphrases when it comes to international trade is "America First", so any trade deal Trump does agree to will obviously benefit America and American businesses over Britain and British businesses.

Part fact, part opinion drawn from the fact but probably accurate.

Who actually wants our food and consumer standards trashed so the UK market can be opened up to sub-standard American food products like chlorinated chicken and hormone riddled beef (apart from rabidly right-wing Tory types)?

Well, does anyone want our food standards to be trashed? It is a question rather than an opinion.

One of the main Brextremist arguments is that Britain should quit the EU to pursue free trade deals across the world, but this free trade Brexit idea looks awfully stupid given that we're actually quitting the largest free trade zone on the planet in order to beg for a trade deal with by far the most protectionist US President in decades.

All factual.

The extreme-right and white-supremacist types who support Trump continually use the term "snowflake" to denigrate anyone who dares object to their abusive language and revolting policies (like Trump's child concentration camps), but now they're all crying like babies over a bloody protest balloon!

All factual apart from'crying like babies' line, which is exaggeration but I think we get the picture.

When it comes to bullies appeasement is a very poor idea, because once they see you caving in to their bullying behaviour to give them what they want, they're just going to use the same bully-boy tactics to demand more and more and more.

Opinion but based on sound psychology.

Appeasing extreme-right bullies on the international scene has already been tried.If you don't know what the photo is all about try searching "peace for our time".

Factual.

All in all a good summation. Mainly fact. Some sound opinion. Certainly as good as anything from Paul Staines.
