Both sides agreed a “mutual” timeline .... we will leave with no deal, it’ll be a pain in the ring for some industries, they’ll lobby, it’ll change.

It won’t actually mean much beyond tariffs on goods.
Really - equivalence for the City not an issue then? 30 days notice of withdrawal.

They gave up on passporting over a year ago. It why over 1,000 European companies have registered with the FCA.

Hey; who cares about 80% of the economy,


Fuck Business !

The city makes up about 12% of the economy and 17% of the tax receipts. Currently that’s been boosted by a no deal scenario.

no trade agreement this year. but with everything being fecked by covid anyway, brexit losses will be small potatoes.

serious talks will happen after the transition, when brussels realises they are talking to an independent, sovereign nation.
Apparently not, that independent nonsense counts for nothing. The EC/EU is prepared to say no. The blunt truth is, they're bigger.

But hey, my little sovereign friend, take pride in having been "one of the most prosperous members" of the EU.

You left it, head held high, as its 12th most prosperous member out of 28. Or 15th out of 31, counting the Schengen EEA members.

The Uk economy is larger than the bottom 19 grouped together. 7th largest economy in The world. Seat on the UN Security Council and one of the largest global diplomatic forces in the world.

Sherblue says we are 12th. Which considering there’s not even 12 net contributors in the EU is a surprise.

Size of economy is not "prosperity". How many times have you made us all feel poor, "because Switzerland".

Neither is "prosperity" a seat on the UN Security Council. And neither would it be connected with being a "largest diplomatic force" [incidentally, the UK is now diplomatically diminished to US vassal state].

Polling evidence?

Yes, doubtless unnecessary pain on both sides if a deal cannot be reached or an extension requested and granted to buy time.

Which begs the question, will it be easier for the producers to find alternate buyers of their products inside or outside the EU or for the UK to source from alternate suppliers and /or fix the supply chain.

Where is the smart money?

I wouldn't say he's achieved nothing: he's probably driven away a lot of sensible posters from the thread who might have contributed, but won't because of the toxic nature of any response from Bimbo and his coterie of similar minded posters.

I cope well enough.

If I read something that does not coincide with my own views, I like to think that I will look at it and, if necessary, change my view.

Not find irrelevant details through which I can attempt to undermine what is being said or shout it down so that I can win on the internet.

Which is why the Express is running with the headline :

"BORIS WANTS TO FIX UNFAIR BREXIT DEAL"

That would be the Brexit deal that Boris personally negotiated, getting the EU to reopen the WA to make changes he personally wanted, including changing the Political Declaration to a form he thought better for the UK, then signing said agreement, bringing it to the HoC and getting passed by the HoC.

No wonder the EU don't trust either Boris, the UK government, or the UK negotiators.

If this resiling of previously agreed positions continues to be the UK line expect the EU to start publishing exactly what the restrictions the UK will face in a hard Brexit, inter alia, :

- visa/visa exemption requirements for UK citizens wanting to go abroad
- a few hundred haulage licences for the entire UK haulage industry
- no food exports from the UK to the EU because the UK refuses to accept EU standards
- British registered aircraft and airlines can't fly 'cabotage' within the EU
- UK awarded degrees no longer recognised by the EU

etc. etc. etc. for a very, very long list indeed, which will just be the EU amending its legislation to account for the fact that the UK has chosen to leave the EU without a trade agreement.

Agree - we were the ones leaving the club so can't understand why folk now expect to have some of the benefits without paying their dues. It was our choice to leave (unfortunately) so we are really dependant on the EU telling us what the price is for the benefits we wish to retain. If we dont like the price we just dont pay the price them up and suffer the consequences. I honestly can't see what the problem is, we all knew this is how it would play out and that our bargaining position was weak and even weaker now post Cover19. There isn't anything punative about this, it is merely the EU getting the best deal they can for their member states and if we are on our knees then why wouldn't they use this to their advantage and seek as good a price as they can? This is a big boys game and I honestly think that the Blonde Bumbelcunt has completely fecked up with the Withdrawal Agreement and the Political Declaration and is trying to get out of his signed up promises. He has backed himself and his party into a corner and they are going to implode once folk realise exactly what he has signed them up to and what the implications are. A border in the Irish Sea is just a wee starter for 10.

Boris never wanted that deal. He was desperate to get any deal to leave as he had promised but couldn't get parliament to back anything he did so tried to appease them. Now the idiot has a majority he doesn't want to stick to it.

Take your place in the queue.

Farridge gleefully predicted the annihilation of the Euro within 10 years in the EU Parliament at the time of the last crisis.

Some excellent soundbites, if I recall correctly.
