grahamite2, like a good many others I wish brexit didn't have to happen, but there will be no progress for us or the rest of Europe if we don't leave completely. The whole project got hijacked over 20 years ago and the Lisbon Treaty was the culmination and seal of the lunatics taking over the asylum. The 'entitled' apparatchiks behaving like the See of Rome, seizing the world with false words and empty promises, to indulge their fantasies of grandeur whilst making themselves the highest paid public 'servants' of anywhere.

Cameron was weak, just another trust fund boy from a privileged background, who has never had to fight to feed the kids and keep a roof over his head. Will Boris prove any better? We have yet to see, but so far he is making the right noises, but why oh why give these bullies another 38 days? They've had four years of chances, close the book this week, just do it, industry and commerce need to know where they are on both sides of the Channel. After all it is they who generate real wealth, whilst the likes of Barnier squander it.

That post must have taken a lot of trouble, lefrene, but it was worth it! Thank you.

Like the Council of Europe?

Poor old Cammie, he did try but was well up against it - remember the near collision with Sarky Nick?

Right, this share's about to take off. Last chance...again.

'Chancellor Angela Merkel does not rule out imposing sanctions on a pipeline set to bring Russian gas to Germany in response to the suspected poisoning of a Kremlin critic with a Soviet-style nerve agent, her chief spokesman said on Monday'

Bet that's got Putin worried...:/

What we want to know is, what did Putin the tea. Not original.

Barnier's 'level playing field' is anything but - so many other matters to take into account: exchange rates; proximity to markets; energy costs; social costs...

I have an excellent e-mail from Boris.

The heading is, "I will not back down." He then goes on

"If we can’t agree by [15 October], then I do not see that there will be a free trade agreement between us, and we should both accept that and move on.

We’ll then have a trading arrangement with the EU like Australia’s.

I want to be absolutely clear that, as we have said right from the start, that would be a good outcome for the UK."

Jeffrey Carr7 Sep 2020 1:08PMNot heard that we wish to exclude EU vessels from fishing. It is my understanding that we are willing to  allow them to fish in our waters on an annual licence with a greater proportion of the catch allocated to  the UK. The EU expect the existing terms to continue.If there is no deal then they will not be able to fish in our waters. Your call Mr. Barnier.We are a sovereign nation and they are our waters!James Jeffery7 Sep 2020 1:11PM@Jeffrey Carr CORRECT...Boycott goods and products of the EUSSR, particularly German and French.

"The Brexit terms that the UK agreed to before formally exiting the EU "must be respected", chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier said Monday, after reports that London might seek legislation to override key parts of the deal.

"Everything that has been signed must be respected," Barnier told France Inter radio, in response to a Financial Times report claiming UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson wanted to revise agreements on Northern Ireland and state aid.

Barnier said he would discuss the report with his UK counterpart David Frost during an eighth round of negotiations on a future trade deal this week"

I'm reminded of

Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and that the WA required EU negotiating in good faith.Which they clearly haven't.

Additionally a treaty signed under duress by a bunch of traitors demands no respect either.

8th round of Brexit talks start tomorrow.


Boris has set 15th Oct as the deadline to reach a deal

"Meanwhile, Boris Johnson said that, if a trade deal is not reached by 15 October, both sides should "move on", which would still be a "good outcome"."

I saw all of those wonderful European countries in one of Portillo's train programmes.
A pity it could not be made to work.

Most East European counties are populated with impressive, educated, cultured bi- lingual young people.

I hope we can keep up with them in the future. The ones I have met are hard working and I fear for many of our younger people. A high % of them are almost unemployable.

Our youngsters in future will get some sort of closer relationship with the EU. They are well travelled and accept it is our destiny.

It was easy for Farage to con a load of working class northerners into hating the dreaded Germans because the memories if WW1 WW2 are carried forward.
Farage was divorcing his German wife at the time so maybe he had personal grudges.
Give it a few years and we shall have a close relationship with the cultured Europeans.

Theresa May was our democratically elected leader.

You people bang on about democracy when you talk about the referendum result.
But you do not accept your Prime Ministers negotiated deal because you do not agree with it.
This is a mixture of anarchy and democracy.

[geckotheglorious] 07/9/2020 12:08

Lefrene,

I enjoy the odd bottle of French...but am willing to forego such on principle.

:)

New World and Latam has been getting all my trade since.

Exactly, Europe is great.
