A deal can agreed only if Barnier being replaced by Merkel. She knows the score...lol

It is high time the Prime Minister believed in Brexit and embraced no-deal

Even now, Boris Johnson is only using no-deal as a threat - yet it appears to be an empty one against Brussels' bad faith



Anyone familiar with the EU’s modus operandi would have known seeking a balanced

deal with them was a waste of time. The EU itself said, back in 2016 and

repeatedly since, the UK would pay a hefty price for Brexit. And a hefty price we

have paid....

Brinkmanship time.

BBC reporting that Frost has told Barnier this afternoon not to come over on Monday, as planned - UK sees no point in talking any longer, unless the EU changes its position fundamentally.

No Deal moving closer??

Downing Street: Brexit talks 'over' and 'no point' in Barnier visit


By Hannah Rodger  @HRwritesnews

Westminster Correspondent, The Herald



Downing Street has said the trade talks between the UK and EU "are over" and has blamed the bloc for the failure in getting a trade deal before the end of the ransition period.

The Prime Minister's official spokesman said this afternoon that the EU "has effectively ended them by saying that they do not want to change their negotiating position."


He added: "The EU can either fundamentally change its position or we can leave on Australian terms."

Where we are with the fishery negotiations – and all the facts at your fingertipsOctober 16, 2020By Neil StrattonOVER THE LAST few months the series of articles on Brexit-Watch looking at fishing has considered various aspects of who has been landing what share of this or that from where – and how this might change as a result of new fishing agreements that we might sign with our neighbours. In the interim, we have signed a framework agreement with Norway and the deadline we have set by which a deal needs to be done with the EU27 is now upon us. In anticipation of such a deal, this article looks back at what has been published to date in the Brexit-Watch series and provides links to the previous articles. As and when a deal, if any, is done, this will make it easier for readers to refer back to past articles to refresh their memories on aspects that interest them and to compare what the deal delivers with what is currently the case and also with what it should deliver for it to be considered a good or fair deal. The series The first two articles Carpe Diem – time to seize the day in fishing negotiations and When it comes to fishing the EU's 27 musketeers are not all equal presented the general situation regarding landings of fish in the NE Atlantic, what the situation might be if landings by fleets matched what was landed from the corresponding EEZ, and highlighted how the fishing industries of the EU members fishing in this area differed both in absolute size and their importance to their overall national economies. The third article I say Nephrops, you say Langoustine – but what's in a name? looked at one specific 'fish', Nephrops and pointed out how the UK EEZ is the dominant source of supply and that the EU has little alternative but to continue importing from the UK if it wishes to continue eating Dublin Bay Prawns, Norway Lobsters or Langoustine. Call them what you will, they're British.   Article four: Our raw deal in raw fish looked at the EU's take from UK waters and then five: Common Fisheries Policy – why it's at Sixes and Sevens examined two specific areas chosen as examples. The situation in UK waters was then contrasted in six: The new Hanseatic League with the Skagerrak, Kattegat and Baltic, where the UK receives no quota. Seven: Relative values of European fishing industries – and deciding what matters to us  returned to the differences in size and importance of the fishing industries of the relevant EU members in relation to their national economies and introduced valuations based on UK first sale prices as a common basis for comparison and as means of assessing the potential value to the UK of a transfer of quota. Articles eight: What can we learn from diving deeper into fishing statistics?, nine: When it comes to fisheries the bad data just got worse, ten: Fishing for the Big Four species – and what it tells us, eleven: When the media portrays a half full glass as half empty and twelve: In fisheries, what goes around comes around examined the evidence for a possible shift in where fish are being caught and for which species this shift has occurred. Article thirteen: Long Read: Six of the Rest shows fisheries management is all at sea  explained one source of systemic uncertainty that is inherent in the way the EU records landings and reminded the reader that although for simplicity's sake the figures in these articles are presented as certainties they are all in fact subject to margins of error. Whilst most attention in the Brexit process has been focused on our relations with the EU, the UK is in fact also party to fishing agreements with Norway and the Faroe Islands by virtue of its membership of the EU. Having left the EU, the UK will have to decide if it wants to sign successor agreements with these neighbours (in fact it has already signed a framework agreement with Norway). Article fourteen: If Donald Rumsfeld was looking at the Common Fisheries policy: the known unknowns looked, therefore, at a possible redistribution of catch in the NE Atlantic not just between the UK and the EU27 but Norway, the Faroe Islands and Iceland too. Following on from fourteen, fifteen: A new dawn for a new deal benefitting Britain's fishing communities, sixteen: Beyond Brexit – Kippers Galore, seventeen: Fish and chips for tea? But which fish after Brexit? and eighteen: The Lowlife of British fisheries then looked in detail at the possible impact of such a redistribution on landings of groups of species, whilst nineteen: Swapshop? Are there fish we could swap for species we actually eat? summarised the impact on landings for the species looked at in detail in the previous four articles; while article twenty Taking Stock of our fisheries' potential – a summary summarised our fisheries' potential. Article twenty-one: EU fisheries figures go secret – funny that? explained the reason why most of the comparisons in these articles are based on landings from the years 2010 to 2016. As mentioned previously, the fishing industries of the eight EU27 members that fish in UK waters differ in absolute size, their size relative to the size of their national economies, the extent to which they fish in UK waters and the types of fish they land. Article twenty-two: Are the UK's fishing grounds going Dutch? looked in detail at the possible impact a redistribution might have on the Dutch fishing industry; followed by article twenty-three: Denmark – a country we could do a fishing deal with – if only it was allowed!, which did the same for the Danish industry; article twenty-three: How much could the French lose from fishing in UK waters?, which looked at France; article twenty-five: How much could the Irish lose from their fishing in UK waters?, which shone the spotlight on Ireland; article twenty-six: How much could the Germans lose from fishing in UK waters? focusing on Germany; article twenty-seven: What would the Belgians lose from their fishing in UK waters? when it was Belgium's turn; article twenty-eight: What would the Swedes lose from their fishing in UK waters? turned to Sweden, a country with not a centimetre of coastline on the NE Atlantic; and, finally, article twenty-nine: What would the Spanish lose from their fishing in UK waters? considered Spain. Article thirty: Summary of how a new fishing agreement might impact the EU27 then rounded things off with a summary of the situation for the EU27, in reality the EU8, as a whole. Although the previous sixteen articles examined various aspects of a possible overall redistribution of landings between the various fishing fleets active in the NE Atlantic, the reality is that the current negotiations about possible future fishing agreements are bilateral rather than multilateral. Articles thirty-one: For now, in fishing negotiations, two's company, three's a crowd and thirty-two: The prize: how UK's fishing catch could improve by 638,000 tonnes looked, therefore, at the possible impact of a redistribution between the UK and the EU27, followed by articles thirty-three: Could we gain 190K tonnes of fish worth over £113m from a new Norway Agreement? and thirty-four How the EU benefits from fishing in Norway's waters at the UK's expense, which did the same for the UK and Norway. Article thirty-five: Fishing deals – do two bilaterals make a multilateral? then looked at the combined impact of possible new bilateral agreements between the UK and the EU27 and the UK and Norway. Finally, articles thirty-six: Fishing negotiations? Let's not forget the Faroes and thirty-seven: And last, but not least, what about the Faroes? considered the impact of a possible similar new agreement between the UK and the Faroe Islands. And that brings us to this synopsis, article thirty-eight, as we wait to see what the actual deal, if any, delivers.

Look up the history of how the EU got control of the fish...hint Norway was supposed to join the same day as the UK..they didn’t

I'm happy to let the stupid fishermen on both sides fight it out. Let the chimps get on with it. Kill and drown each other. What do I care? Fish stocks are probably going to be dead anyway in less than 100 years. All of them are idiots.

"How would you know if you are more successful or not. I'm not arrogant either, so I will note that you may or may not have been more successful."

If you have started a company from scratch that eventually listed on the LSE then let me know. Otherwise we can establish the fact that I'm the more successful capitalist.

Nothing to do with arrogance. Just facts.
