Nice for the President that he doesn't now have to meet Mrs May.

How dull would it be to have to spend time with a dreary socialist soon-to-be has-been!

Something else to blame on brexit no doubt.

Mister MD - not that exactly, but I have found it skittish for quite some days now. Probably problems with the latest update.

Trump has been vilified by the media from Day 1 ...The BBC in particular in England have never said anything positive about the man.

You're right, buywell, but Trump has got the measure of the media. He knows full well they speak only for a narrow clique.

Nasty act cancelled:"A band criticised for calling on members of the Conservative Party to be killed have had their Glastonbury Festival booking cancelled"

There's only one way, and it aint this!








How many times are they going to try and introduce a stay in disguise package?

I would still like to know why the WTO allows the EU to get away with discriminatory tariffs against the rest of the world.

The President of Gun World hasn't a lot to be proud of.

[grahamite2] 02/6/2019 22:37

The Mayor of Knifetown hasn't got a lot to be proud of.

[minerve 2] 02/6/2019 22:32

"the Mayor does not act for us all."

Neither does Trump. ;)

What is a “WTO Brexit”? Can you define it, please? Specifically, how would the position of the UK, operating on the basis of a “WTO Brexit”, differ from the current position of the UK as a member of the EU?

Dougal Hamer, You asked the same question a few days ago, and you were given the answers. Is your memory that short or are you a mere troll (a time waster)?

The UK has numerous agreements (treaties) with other countries on issues as diverse as double taxation and mutual recognition of driving licences. None of those permit the UK to govern those nations, and they do not govern us. So we can and will have similar minor agreements with other European nations. As we already do, in fact.

A “WTO Brexit” means that we will leave the EU without a specific trade deal with the EU, instead relying on the WTO framework of treaties that already govern 98% of international trade.

Remains frequently and erroneously say that “nobody trades solely under WTO rules” claiming that the various RTAs, MRAs, etc, alter WTO rules. They don’t. The RTAs etc modify the rules of the nations that make each RTA, not the WTO rules.

Sir John,

Agree wholeheartedly that Nigel Farage should be involved and also agree that the WA should be utterly rejected, However, the detrimental legacy of the outgoing PM may not be entirely eliminated just by dumping that putrid agreement.

I have just read an article by ‘Caroline Bell’ (nom de plume for an anonymous high ranking Civil Servant ) on the briefingsforbrexit.com website entitled ‘Vassalage or Power? Thoughts for Would-Be Prime Ministers’.

If the article is wholly accurate, and there is no reason to doubt that it is, It is absolutely frightening – but worth the six minute read. It appears that, even if Brexit occurs as early as the end of June, Mrs May has committed the UK to paying a further full year’s budget contribution to the EU which amounts to £18 billion. Legal grounds for enforcement of payment by the EU are said to exist and it is claimed that insistence by the EU that elections did take place in the UK was a means of ensuring the UK’s liability for the payment.

What is more, there is a written commitment by the UK that our MEPs will ‘be good boys and girls’ and not do anything to impede EU business. All this whilst having no say whatsoever in whatever the EU may decide.

In other words, we are already a vassal state and the treachery of this outgoing PM, and the advisers around her, appears to have no bounds. I do hope that, in time, all those responsible will face justice.

Treachery indeed as one would expect of May and her putrid government. When she said:- “to serve the country I love” and burst into tears I assume she intended to say in full:- “the country I love to stitch up, betray and put in expensive handcuffs”.
