Reply To: More on Brexit
UK and Switzerland have signed a deal to continue trading after Brexit as they did before it.
Cue for a facetious quote from Third Man
“…in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock…”
Such continuity agreements have been signed with only Switzerland, Chile, The Faroe Islands, Eastern and Southern Africa.
Director general of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Carolyn Fairbairn, said the lack of other trade deals being signed was an “emergency” – particularly in the case of South Korea and Japan.
