Dr Beeching Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Does anyone know if the island (and other crown dependencies) are included on this trade deal that's not a trade deal, with the US? Is it a UK only thing or did they negotiate on our behalf too? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-us-canada-65827895 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There again, CM Cannan and the civil service bigwigs will no doubt be planning their next jollies, hoping for some crumbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also in a Customs Union with UK, but not CI. IoM not recognised internationally as a separate jurisdiction for trade purposes. A trade agreement between UK and another nation or trading bloc/community/union covers the IoM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassie2 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Do you know the quantities sold to N. America? And is it also sold much cheaper just like our meats are sold across? The Isle of Man. Where You Can - totally shaft the public in every aspect of life including all necessities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do, no doubt some close relative of one of our elected representatives will have a CV that seems like it could have been used to write to job specification..
