The EU claims that it wishes to negotiate the future trading relationship with the UK on the basis of a ‘level playing field’. However, the EU’s published negotiating guidelines actually seek to force the UK to play with loaded dice. This amounts to ‘cherry picking’ by the EU which UK negotiators should vigorously resist.


The EU’s idea of a ‘level playing field’ post-Brexit is:

1.Continue to have tariff-free access to our markets for its goods (where it has a huge trade surplus).

2.Impede access to our trade in services (where the EU has a deficit) by making them subject to home state approval in each member state.

3.Impede our financial service exports by making them subject to equivalence approval which can be removed at short notice with no negotiation.

4.Treat UK citizens less favourably than EU citizens by restricting their right to work only in the member state where they currently work, whereas EU citizens can work in any of the UK’s four constituent countries.

5.Use the new mobility arrangements to re-establish free movement by the back door.

6.Continue to have access to our fishing grounds on the same basis as it currently has.

7.Continue to use state aid to protect its own industries, while attempting to block the UK’s use of state aid, despite the UK spending less than the EU on average.

8.Force the UK to align its tax regime to that of the EU where high personal and corporate taxes are used to finance its increasingly unaffordable social-economic model of high state welfare and pension benefits.

9.Force the UK to adopt and keep in dynamic alignment with the EU’s labour and social protection standards and its environmental standards after Brexit.

10.Adopt a governance framework that gives the European Court of Justice a role in determining disputes rather than using international arbitration as is standard in in international agreements.

11.Prevent ‘dumping’; by the UK, while continuing to dump its products in the UK as result of a persistently undervalued euro.

12.Allow the UK to be disadvantaged by the sequencing of the negotiations.

We got telepathy

I personally think there should be some insurance fund that all travel companies and agents pay into that allows cancellation of flights & holidays to certain destinations during instances like this. We need to create the environment where families are not pressured to take holidays in these situations because they fear losing the money/the opportunity to get away. It also benefits the rest of us because you might not get idiots intent on taking these holidays, thinking they'll be OK, and then bringing the virus back and infecting everyone else, like Freddie is about to do.

Minnie..is it true that you have been tossing off to a pic of Priti Patel.

Go boy go!

[jacko07] 02/3/2020 21:25

tricky..go back and edit it..I ain't your tutor!!

[jacko07] 02/3/2020 21:24

Got to admit, I wouldn't go on holiday with this lot happening. Bad enough getting ill when you are at home, just imagine being in quarantine abroad somewhere.

I wouldn't take any public transport, let alone fly with those old budget airlines where you are breathing in other people's air. And what about that report recently about fart expulsion in planes, the air is stagnant, one ripping great fart from some of those fatties would probably kill the plane load.

No no no, not for me or my family.

Get one of these Freddie you'll be fine.

Minnie, Boris feels a whole lot better since you directed your rancour at Priti. She is known in the HOC as Priti Woman as Roy Orbison sang. Here is the latest by Sir Philip Rudeman

Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you

Mercy

Pretty woman, won't you pardon me?
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?

Wow

Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me

'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby, be mine tonight

Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey...
OK

If that's the way it must be, OK
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see?

Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman

[minerve 2] 02/3/2020 20:58

Old a drip head would fly to Tenerife right now. Oh, wait a minute.......


ROFLMAO!

[utrickytrees] 02/3/2020 20:52

Apologies Freddie, don't really know what I'm doing.

[alangriffbang] 02/3/2020 20:48

Freddie ,I’ve got friends who are flying out to Tenerife on Thursday on a package and they have had a call this evening to say it’s been cancelled ,best to check ,

[minerve 2] 02/3/2020 20:45

Oh dear, it seems the ugly human will need to learn a lesson:




A former aide to Priti Patel received a £25,000 payout from the government after claiming she was bullied by the then employment minister.

Legal correspondence seen by the BBC alleges the woman took an overdose of prescription medicine following the alleged incident in 2015.

The DWP did not admit liability and the case did not come before a tribunal.

[jacko07] 02/3/2020 20:45

Have you been here freddie?



Superb! Have a good one.

"Min...at least she made it in the Government"

WOW, is that supposed to be an achievement?

ROFLMAO!

To get into government today requires having no values or principles. I don't fit and I don't care too much for such a position.
