what I find amusing is the UKIP argument that the likes of the US

will be falling over themselves to agree free trade agreements with us, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

The way the world is going is large platform agreements with big trading blocs, not with individual countries. A US diplomat has already said that the US isn't interested in agreeing new trade agreements on an individual basis.

If we think TTIP is bad when it's been negotiated by a massive trading block, think what it will be like when it's just little old Blighty trying to negotiate it.
