I'm not sure you can really 'show something else is available' when it's countries and economic blocs on the planet Earth. Everyone knows what all the options are.

It would be great is the UK whipped out a great deal with Drayben, the hithertoo unknown hidden continent beneath the atlantic, but it almost certainly won't happen. 99% certain it won't happen.

If we don't go on a buccaneering invasion of the European banking microstates and walk off with their gold + offer to sell the dutch + Germans records of their tax cheats too, it will all have been a waste.

I'd love for this to be an actual thing, maybe the privateers could 50%/50% revenue to various nations while giving in the names of all the tax cheats

lol what would actually happen is a completely unified response from the world community like when Iraq invaded Kuwait

I'm the guy who thinks the eu will negotiate in good faith with anyone. Their main priority is loving the uk as hard ad possible so nobody else tries to also leave. Much like they sided with Rajoy in the Catalan thing because they don't want Brittany/Corsica/ect getting the idea that the eu might let it happen.

Unfortunately BAE got the contract to build HMS Golden Hind II meaning it was delivered three years late, too slow to actually catch any cargo ship with a functioning engine, and required 12 billion pounds worth of overhaul after it was discovered that HMG forgot to specify "must function in salt water".

Both as a service to britposters and to mock how dumb brexit is, please check out the MRE thread. In addition to useful reviewing of MREs so you know what to trade for and what to avoid, it reviews the British Army MRE, which is composed of goods sourced across Europe.
