But doesn't that only apply to the UK and the other EU countries?

From a non-EU country's perspective, the UK isn't in the EU anymore and those trade agreements no longer apply.

Don't see what is stopping the US from just saying the UK no longer has a trade deal with them effective immediately.

UK is part of the common market. US trades with the common market, not the UK.

e: I dunno what happens if the UK breaks its own laws. What happens if Florida ignores federal laws? A court case, then financial penalties?

UK leaves the EU tomorrow but stays in the common market until the end of the year?

Was thinking this was more like a gentleman's agreement that the EU would pretend the UK was still a member for 11 more months to do trade negotiations.

It's all legally solid. The reason the Brexit negotiations went so fast was that Britain committed to staying legally aligned with the EU for the duration of the transition period. Nothing changes for them except that they lose their political representation.

e: also their contributions to the EU budget changed. I think they ended up paying more now for the year 2020? Can't remember for sure.

BBC News - What ancient Rome may teach on post-Brexit tourism

And it's actually serious too.

Would you be surprised to learn that the Romans were also seen as xenophobic at times and yet the wealthy still engaged in vacationing?

fabergay egg: Mar 1, 2012; it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'

im permabanned poster eurostomper58. i first started reading the daily mail when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "brexit" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "brexit MEANS brexit" and "bung a bob for big ben's brexit bongs" inside my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things out of the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "tory" style of british politics was all about; i think it's the subconscious leaking into the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenia and schizotypal symptoms. i would advise all people who "get" brexit to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to mental illness. peace.

No. The UK is still part of all EU trade agreements for another year.
