The time for negotiation has passed. EU doesn't negotiate either, they try and steamroller....their record with member states speaks for itself.
No deal.

About time those oldies comdies make come back...

[alphorn] 14/9/2020 09:52

If you read - I pointed out that this is a negotiation. Your target is a win/win. (A war is a win/lose - rather different). Have you ever carried out a negotiation?

[cheshire pete] 14/9/2020 09:44

Dad's Army had the Nation's interests at heart.

A darned sight easier than a American negotiator.

How do you negotiate with an ideologue?

[alphorn] 14/9/2020 09:32

cheshire - you are describing the opening graphics of Dad's Army. This is a negotiation - not a war; what a load of weaklings on this thread. You could not negotiate yourself out of a paper bag.

Blair, Major, May, Brown, Milliband, Cameron....they're coming thick and fast now and what do they all have in common...they're remainers who want to keep us shackled to the EU even though we've left.
WA not fit for purpose and getting us out of EU and therefore either has to change or be set aside.

Stand firm Boris and Govey...stuff the lot of these pompous has beens who can't see that they're no longer relevant. No surrender to Barnier.

Guy Thornton14 Sep 2020 7:51AMConsumer prices are just a symptom of inflation...it is the money supply and credit that is being inflated. Look at the US stock markets and property prices over the last ten years and tell me that there is no inflation. The total market cap of Amazon , Microsoft and Apple is bigger than Germany's GDP. Rising prices are an effect...they are not causeless....they do not occur in a vacuum. Prices do not "expand" or "inflate"....it's just that it takes more dollars to purchase the same item because the value of the dollar has gone down.This is why gold is always the last man standing in these inevitable barroom brawls that happen when countries overspend and destroy their economies and currency.

The EU only wanted us for our money,our market to sell to , our armed forces to use for their protection and to dump illegal immigrants that they did not want.


Will Spain now be next to National Lockdown or will Macron go first to show he cares for his people ?

The UK's international reputation as a trade partner needs this UK Single market Bill.By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: SEPTEMBER 14, 2020As so often the EU establishment puts round the wrong message. They say the UK's reputation will be damaged by legislating to make sure we control our own single market and customs union. The opposite is the case.The rest of the world would think it bizarre if the U.K meekly accepted continuing EU controls over our laws, trade rules and borders from 1 January. Those countries negotiating trade deals with us want to ensure the U.K is fully in charge of its own markets and laws, so they can sign an Agreement with an independent country with the full range of trade powers. They do not want a U.K. under the control of the EU, or with a split domestic market with issues into and out of Northern Ireland.Those who worry about international law or Treaty obligations should explain why the EU does not always accept WTO judgements and rulings when as a signatory to that Treaty it should. Why doesn't the EU allow member states and member states companies have direct redress at the WTO for EU non compliance?In the case of the UK why do we not hear more about our non compliance with International human rights over prisoner votes? Why do the worried establishment accept Labour's limited implementation of the Hunan Rights Treaty, reserving to Parliament the right to override when needed?The government rightly reminds us U.K law will take precedence when we legislate. They are not yet explaining that the EU is not observing the parts of the Agreement they do not like, presumably because the U.K. hopes they will improve and show a new spirit looking for an Agreement.I fear the EU has dug in and expects the U.K. to crumble. That will reinforce our case that they have not negotiated in good faith and have not observed the WA's insistence that the U.K. will be sovereign with its own single market, customs union and independent trade policy.

John Redwood@johnredwood·46mMany countries want a trade deal with the U.K. They want to negotiate with a country in full control of its own laws and trade policy. That's the point of today's legislation

Considering shutting pubs at 10pm. Thats what used to happen before T. Blair wanted to copy his European mates and keep em open 24/7. Predictable result - drunken chaos. Now
where else can he start a war.

Little time to avoid devastating no-deal Brexit, says car industry


Philip Aldrick
Monday September 14 2020, 12.01am, The Times



British and European leaders have just weeks to save the car industry from the “devastating” impact of a no-deal Brexit, carmakers from across the continent have warned.

Automotive groups from the UK and the rest of the European Union have joined forces to demand negotiators “pull out all the stops” to prevent Britain reverting to World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules from the start of next year.


Jobs will be lost and car prices will rise if border tariffs are imposed, the 23 groups warned in a joint statement. Over five years, the cost to the industry would be €110 billion, they said.

The intervention came after last week’s stand-off, which caused a sharp fall in the pound on fears of a breakdown in negotiations.
