The EU confirms it is ready for UK exit in October without the Withdrawal treaty

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 23, 2019

In the run up to our exit planned for 29 March 2019 the EU passed a number of measures to ensure continuity if the UK left without signing the Withdrawal Treaty. Measures included an aviation agreement to ensure the planes fly, a haulage agreement to allow road transport to continue, a rail agreement, “legal certainty for ship operators”, compensation for EU fishing businesses if they lose access to UK waters, continuity for students currently in the Erasmus programme, and more time for the Peace and Interreg programmes for Ireland and Northern Ireland.

In the update produced for the recent EU Council they also noted that rights of UK citizens currently legally settled in the rest of the EU will be protected. They are ensuring medicines and Reach approved chemicals can continue to be traded, and have increased customs capacity at UK facing ports and transport centres to handle any need to introduce tariffs.

This of course all goes largely unreported by the Remain facing UK media, who carry on with silly scare stories based on an imaginary exit with none of these agreements in place.

Panelbase?...Are these the guys who stand with a clip board at shopping centres?...or do they call you at random?...anybody here been approached for a Political survey questionnaire...




The Panelbase survey of 1,024 voters, conducted last week, confirms the worst fears of close allies of Scots Tory leader Ruth Davidson — pointing to a six-point lead for the “yes” campaign if, as expected, the former London mayor succeeds Theresa May.

UK needs a leader who will stand up for Brexit

In the last three years, the British government and the UK parliament have successfully turned our country into an international laughing stock, humiliated by the EU’s negotiators. Mrs May and her Cabinet are chiefly responsible for this. They claimed to want to reach a consensus and swore that in taking this approach they were acting in the interests of Britain. Yet after three rejections by Parliament, their strategy failed.


Their search for what they termed consensus, ended with the UK bound to pay some £40bn to the EU whilst being locked into an arrangement we couldn’t leave unless the EU let us.


As Margaret Thatcher said: “... consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs,...

Rubbish Hernando . Not one country that got independence from Britain wants to turn the clocks back. That includes Australia, New Zealand , Canada, USA and Little Malta to name a few .

Well as a fellow Scot based in England..i think you are best gone...take your higher taxes and spend them as you see fit, the only real issue is will the Treasury let you use the pound as an interim measure until you get the Euro..

Populism in Scotland ( SNP) will be the death of the country as it is in all other countries.

Enter the dragon .. lefty/remainer's worst fear

David Milliband would demolish Johnson and Farage. Obviously Corbyn wouldn't be in the picture. He's addressing the questions like a person with a brain. Makes a change

Boris looks like one of those people in any group who start as being the life and soul of the party.
But in the end people tire of them, and they become irritating.

Maybe Boris will get the support of the Tory grass roots, who seem to believe that he can deliver a no deal Brexit.
But the scary bit is what happens next when he becomes PM.

Parliamentary arithmetic is getting worse, with a bye election and angry de selected Tory remain MP's.
Johnson will never take parliament with him.

We shall look back on Theresa May as a peaceful golden era.

When Bojo is asked a question or to make a statement he tends to dither with the responses...in the process he will say some gobble-dy-ghook and people just start laughing off...the question is never full answered...think his younger brother is also in Politics but much more fluent...

Minerve - "I believe it is reasonable for someone who is likely to become our next prime minister to be held accountable for all of their words, actions and behaviours."

Absolutely, and someone who spills wine on his partner's sofa is not fit to be PM. You're a card, Minnie. But perhaps he needs to ditch the lass.

What you should consider, though, is that we know what happened between Boris and his partner, but we have no idea what goes on between Jeremy Hunt and his wife/partner, or any other politician/person for that matter.

We only know because a left-wing activist overheard and published it.

Btw, got no idea wtf you're talking about - "yesterday's simple questions".

Lefty desperation in full swing now..fear and loathing scare storys at full throttle



:-))

jam2day - "So the whole thing never happened-left wing plot.
Ravings of lunatics!!"

No-one said the row didn't happen.

jam2day, another lunatic.

Having a go at Boris is not a brexit issue, we are talking about the next PM and everyone has a right to an opinion on this. Every day that passes shows he is a bumbling buffoon who does not have the qualities either as a statesman, administrator or leader to run the government.

I feel a Corbyn nightmare coming on.

Boris fans keep clinging to the myth that he is an election winner.
After one long debate and a bit of trivial gossip about his private life, many neutral voters are sick of him.

The endless televised hustings will be crushingly boring and over time BoJo will be found out.

I am worried that BoJo could let Corbyn in.
People are fickle and Johnson could be a disastrous vote loser.

[minerve 2] 23/6/2019 09:48

Vote in Boris and you are finished.

Look forward to Corbyn nationalisation as part of a Lib-Lab coalition.

You heard it here first from Minerve.

[minerve 2] 23/6/2019 09:41

Maxk was another one who couldn't understand a simple concept. ANOTHER person who has done practically nothing with his life but thinks he has credibility to lecture to those that HAVE actually achieved things.


Laughable.
