   I am also pro Brexit because I think the U.K. does not deserve to be   
   in the E.U. There has always been the British attitude that "wogs   
   begin at Calais". I think sending the anti-EU advocate, Nigel Farage,   
   to represent the U.K in the European Parliament is so insulting that I   
   would have expelled them if I had the power.   
      
   As for trade deals, you had full access to the common market and you   
   have thrown it away. It is unlikely that the U.K. alone can negotiate   
   better trade deals than those that are negotiated by the E.U.
