Brexit is good for Britain, the covid-19 is not. But that's not a reason to give up to dictators in Brussels.

What will the markets/economy think of no deal ?

[minerve 2] 16/10/2020 12:58

No careful. Let the simple minds have the nightmare they've voted for. I want them to take their medicine. It will be a good experience for them. Children don't know what it is like to get their fingers burnt unless you let them.

Macho posturing nearly caused WW3 in the cuban missile crisis.

Thank goodness Khrushchev had the good sense to let Kennedy off the hook.
He said he would turn his ships around provided Kennedy promised to remove hundreds of short and medium range nuclear missiles from Turkey and Italy.

Kennedy had no choice but to submit, but the master stroke by Khruschev was that he allowed Kennedy to save face by keeping quiet about the Turkey and Italian missiles.

We need a face saving deal for Macron or Johnson, both need to claim victory for their simple minded followers.

Veto never worked because of the interests from the strongest.. blackmailing the weaker.

""So now is the time for our businesses to get ready, and for hauliers to get ready, and for travellers to get ready."

UK prime minister Boris Johnson has told Britain to get ready for an "Australian" style Brexit but stopped short of ending trade talks with the European Union altogether.The prime minister said in a televised address on Friday that the UK would opt for a no-deal Brexit unless there was a "fundamental change in approach" from the EU."From the outset, we were totally clear that we wanted nothing more complicated than a Canada-style relationship based on friendship and free trade," Johnson said."To judge by the latest EU summit in Brussels, that won't work for our EU partners."The prime minister said he "had to make a judgement" about the likely outcome of negotiations, with just 10 weeks to go until the end of the transition period."I've concluded that we should get ready for January 1 with arrangements that are more like Australia's, based on simple principles of free trade," he said."We will prosper mightily as an independent free trading nation."The pound had been trading higher against the euro and dollar but dropped in the wake of the statement. Shortly after the comments, sterling was down 0.2% against the euro (GBPEUR=X) and down 0.1% against the dollar (GBPUSD=X).... Yahoo Finance...

Spineless capitulation. Cash for lockdown restrictions in Lancashire. Sturgeon will be rubbing her hands with glee. Expect no co operation now from Scotland Wales & NI. They will have our legs off. PATHETIC!

[careful] 16/10/2020 12:44

The weakness of the EU is the veto.
28 countries each with the power to block any deal they did not like.
I liked that when we were in but now it makes a deal unlikely.

Playing high politics, just as Sturgeon is in Scotland with Covid, the tiny Welsh loving their place in the sun, and now the mayor of Manchester.

Too many power centres each with their own agenda.
Reminds me of the outbreak of WW1.
All of this macho patriotism and national pride.
Rather let everyone kill themselves or bankrupt themselves that show weakness.

No chance of anyone climbing down, it would mean humiliation.

IF they don't give us a deal due to Fishing not only should we walk away we should also refuse to allow them a Three year Fishing Transition period -

Win Win for the UK imo.

[k38] 16/10/2020 12:35

Is this posted by your daughter? Very childish post....lol

[ekuuleus] 16/10/2020 12:35

the sticking point of the french is the french.

[inntolife] 16/10/2020 12:34

The sticking point of the French is fishing among other things, don't they realise that if (hopefully when) we leave with NO DEAL they won't even get the overly generous offer on fishing that we are magnanimously giving them. DOH!

Good job weve got Tony Abbott on the board, wouldn't be at all suprised if his hobbies also included satisfying female porn stars. Genuine legend.

[alphorn] 16/10/2020 12:34

max - strangely the markets have recovered, so there may be extra time? Who knows?
Personally, IMO any No Deal is a mistake. Financially, a big net gain but as I said months ago I would have been happy to forego that.

[k38] 16/10/2020 12:33

For Brussels to lose UK is like you losing one of your legs.. I guess they have to learn the hard way.....;))Change or dismantled !
