It’s somewhat ironic that the U.K. go cap in hand to India begging them to buy their products after what colonial Britain did to that region
Yes, but the Brexit mob like Mogg and co., because of their exceptionalism, think they these 'developping countries' are interested in buying British products. What has the UK got that they want to buy? If they want and can afford 'western goods' they'll buy from nearer to home like Japan or Australia plus they want to develop their own industries, which is why they are called developping countries.
So the Brexit mob - first started shouting WTO WTO WTO, then it was No Deal No Deal No Deal and now Its CPTPP CPTPP CPTPP , not having a clue what the consequences of this was and believing all the bs from people like Mogg, Truss, Widdecombe , Badenoch -the list goes on.
One day reality will hit although they won't admit it.
