ROFLMAO!

willoicc - you are saying that we should sell any imported cars?

I shall put the adverts in next week and buy locally (as near as damn it) built.

You can give me a uptick for following your wishes. ;)

BBC pouring cold water on the Barnier offer. It would create a border down the Irish Sea and therefore a non-starter. Something like that.

LauraK's tweet:

Offer promises legal beef up of existing promises, but suggestion of GB exit from backstop leaving NI in has already been rejected by UK so not really a concession.

And so it goes on, Graham.

Oh, and when the UK tried to stop EU MEPs and officials having their contributions reduced, we were voted down; so the deficit just got larger.

"You are not good Europeans". And there are those on here who say that we should Remain and seek change. Do me a favour.

A few days ago, I wrote the following:-

"It's failed in terms of Democracy; it's failed Agriculture (unless you're French or Greek); it's failed Fishery and Fish Stocks; it's failing in terms of its Finances; it's failed the Immigration and 'Refugee' issue; it's overburdened the Economy with regulations and directives; it's failed in Political terms, especially with its restrictive Treaties, and it's failed in the image it projects to the electorate by the extravagant lifestyle enjoyed by the Eurocrats."

I forgot to mention the EU Pension Fund gaping hole. So they can't even administer that properly, either.

And what about Edith Cresson, Poikka? Charged with fraud over £90,000 of fictitious contracts handed out to her boyfriend. Needless to say the court case against her was not proceeded with, and the EU didn't even deprive her of her pension.

No surprise there, Polar. Will it pull the wool over the eyes of our MPs when it comes to the rest of the Unworkable Agreement, though?

The plot thickens.Indeed what does he really mean?

[polar fox] 08/3/2019 16:46

SKY breaking news. What does it really mean? Will it change things?

EU Chief Brexit Negotiator Michel Barnier says the bloc has committed to giving the UK the option to exit the Customs Union element of the backstop unilaterally saying the "UK will not be forced into a customs union against its will".

Will the government set out all the good news of what we can do once we have left the EU?

No they will not because May, Hammond and most of the Cabinet see it as a damage limitation exercise and do not believe in it. Nor have they bothered to properly prepare for a real Brexit in 21 days – in an appalling act of gross negligence by this government.

There are massive advantages in just leaving – lower shop prices, more freedom, real democracy, more nimble government, the ability to deregulate, to go for cheap on demand energy, simpler employment laws, a bonfire of red tape, have competitive and simpler tax rules, get farming away from the CAP lunacy, abolish VAT, have sensible UK controlled fishing ….. Above all we can then negotiate from a position of stength rather than from within May’s appalling W/A straight jacket.

There are also massive dangers in remaining locked into the anti-democratic disaster that is the EU given its direction of travel also.

Tim Martin is quite right to say that, "success of the economy and freedom depends on democracy and the EU is becoming more undemocratic with its unelected presidents and so on."

Thing is, Tim, it's been like that for decades. We all recall how it used to be referred to as a gravy train, well those of us who want to remember can recall. It still is, of course, but it's just not mentioned anymore, oddly. Anyway, just as a reminder...

"In 2004, Glenys Kinnock was caught up in an expenses scandal. Fellow MEP Hans-Peter Martin claimed to have caught 194 colleagues receiving the European Parliament's attendance allowance. Kinnock was among those MEPs whom Martin found and filmed leaving the building just moments after they had signed in for the day to qualify for their £175-a-day allowance, in addition to their £70,000 salaries as MEPs."

It's a family affair, tralala.

Let's see what happens on Tuesday's MA vote. If there's more fudge and delay and a vote to avoid no-deal, then the Brexit Party's membership will balloon - at least by 1, anyway...

I'm not too impressed atm - NF is smart enough, but the rest are a bit of a shower.

What a numpty dreamer.
