Yes, I know, another Brexit thread and this is even an old article but it popped up in my Fb this morning and gave me more information than I previously knew.
Some of you won't want to read it all so I'll give the headline and one paragraph.
After Brexit: the UK will need to renegotiate at least 759 treaties.
