If any are hoping that billions of trade and jobs will be risked because of a few fish you are deluded.

No deal would be another serious blow to the UK economy.
But despite all of the talk and argument it has been business as usual up to now.
We have not left the EU. yet.

A deal would give more certainty in some areas.

Longer term we just have to hope that many of the areas that we have controlled, finance, aerospace defence, Pharma and others are not repatriated to the EU.
But that will take years.

Waste of time.. No Deal !

One suspects any deal driven euphoria will be short lived.

[careful] 02/10/2020 21:08

After all of the grandstanding we are close to a trade deal.
Expect good news shortly.

EU and UK both desperately need one right now.
Negotiators will be sidelined, the political leaders will take over.

No chance of no deal.

Angela
Annoyed that the trap set was recognised.
Sad eh?
The Germans only wanted things their way - and have got them since the world bailed them out at the end of WW2.

Angela Merkel: UK-Norway fisheries deal shows London remains ‘constructive’
UK and Norway signed a fisheries framework agreement on Wednesday morning.

By HANS VON DER BURCHARD 10/2/20, 4:20 PM CET Updated 10/2/20, 4:21 PM CET





A U.K.-Norway fisheries agreement reached on Wednesday is a sign London remains on “a constructive path” in its post-Brexit negotiations with neighbors, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday.

“The agreement with Norway is at least an indication that [the British] are on a constructive path and I wouldn’t interpret that as bad news for us but rather as sign that agreements can be found,” Merkel told reporters following a summit of EU leaders in Brussels.


She added that, “as long as we [the EU and U.K.] negotiate, I’m optimistic.”

Still, the "breach" of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement via the U.K.'s Internal Market Bill is a "bitter" setback for the efforts to reach a deal, Merkel cautioned.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told reporters following the summit that he remains “cautiously optimistic” that the EU and U.K. can still agree a trade deal.

Rutte said he believes the “geopolitical necessity” for such a deal is felt in Brussels and London.

“In an unstable world, which has not become more stable due to the COVID crisis,” it's even more important for both sides to cooperate, Rutte said, adding that a no-deal outcome would be “a big lost opportunity” that would come on top of the economic fallout from the coronavirus crisis.

They've already had 3 years + worth of fish from our waters since the referendum. No more taking the xxxx. No deal.

Holding up so far. Some half decent figures in the next results and we should be back towards the 40p mark

I can see why Trumpo might be tempted to get into discussions of a Ugandan nature.

The so called scientists have been playing with the figs from the outset.

The office of Nat Stats have a quite different read on how many people have died of C19. But they are/were separating the pure C19's from the "with C19"

Result ... the pure C19 deaths are a tiny number. The vast majority were "with C19"
And therefor regardless of what people died from, they were lumped in to the final tally.

This isnt skience, it's manipulation .. to what end? I dont know.

[grahamite2] 02/10/2020 13:39

Why just the first phrase, Alphorn? The scientists have gone along with it, possibly reluctantly but they haven't said, no, this is all balls! That makes them complicit.

No doubt you remember the presentation the other Monday with that ludicrous chart which even humble journalists were able to pull to pieces within half an hour. The scientists were visibly uneasy when they produced the chart and they used a very strange form of words when they did so.

Fear mongering from Boris and the flower pot men. They are treading on dangerous ground if they are found to be telling 'porkies'.
There is a smell of B/S in the air I think!
