The EU was always a protectionist free trading block.
We benefitted, Thatcher was delighted with UK inward investment by Nissan Toyota and many more who came here to get access to the EU.

And Many many more left the UK when the EU expanded to take in the old eastern block countries , with the help of EU tax breaks ....Wales a case in point

Got any specific details, or just empty slogans?Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.Fyodor Dostoevsky

The Future is very bright indeed with a no deal Brexit ( AKA WTO terms )

Short term pain, yes , but this was already known,we Shall overcome and be richer for it. Besides there has been some enormous trading opportunities on the back of brexit which have been very fruitful indeed.

Make a nice sum on LLoyds already, much more to come . GLA lets make money , be happy and share the Love to the dirty remainiacs and UK haters

None of us can foresee the consequences of being out of the EU., for as Merkel said, the UK would be a serious competitor and threat to them, on their doorstep.

Many right wingers were looking forward to us being a Singapore of Northern Europe.
Union leaders were fearful of a World full of Mike Ashley, Philip Green type employers.

No deal chances are increasing. If pound crashes foreign earner should go up.

BREXIT
Travellers face big bills for healthcare after Brexit



Graeme Paton, Transport Correspondent
Thursday December 10 2020, 9.00am, The Times


One in eight British adults had a medical problem while abroad in 2018

British tourists will have to pay higher insurance premiums to plug a £156 million annual shortfall in the cost of medical treatment in mainland Europe, according to research.

Insurance companies are almost certain to increase premiums for holidays in EU member states when access to cut-price healthcare comes to an end next month, according to Which?.

It found that the cost of treating medical emergencies could run into thousands of pounds. According to the research, a 65-year-old who had a heart attack and needed surgery and ten days in hospital in France could have to pay £14,000.

People on holiday in Majorca would have to pay up to £8,300 if they broke their pelvis or dislocated a hip. Treatment for gastritis or a peptic ulcer



More remoaner scare disinformation here:

Sure... The sunny uplands await.Remind me what Rees Mogg said? 50 years?Alas totally predictable. 1. "We knew we were voting for no deal." Even though Farage was pushing for a "better deal than Norway and Switzerland"That becomes...2. "We knew there would be short term pain." Patently untrue. 3. "There will be magnificent long term gains"Explain to me what those gains are and why they were unachievable while in the EU (and remember, the U.K. was one of the main powers in the EU)?At some point willBecome... "oh no, I never voted for brexit."

[utrickytrees] 10/12/2020 09:54

ALex your focusing on the cons, most Brexiteers would acknowledge there will be a period flux preceding a wto outcome but recognise the opportunity of existing free from the EU yolk is not only exciting but also a necessary to mitigate our exposure to the disaster the EU has become. Fortune favours the brave Alex.

You have to laugh about this effective border in the sea with Ireland.
It was never going to happen.

Then Biden won the US election and ordered Boris to sort it.
'yes sir' he said.

We have a different master now, 'taking back control'? Not

[heialex1] 10/12/2020 09:49

In the nicest possible way, wake up and read the detail.Like the Canada deal, it effectively rolls over the existing agreement that we had through the EU. This is bare minimum stuff, not the reason you blow yourself up. Weren't things supposed to be better??? We celebrate because a couple of relatively small deals get rolled over? Come on... where had the critical thinking gone in this country? Why are so many people so easily fooled?The only meaningful prizes out there in terms of trade deals, after the EU which is the largest trading area in the world (and we've just thrown that away), are US and China... and please understand who had the upper hand in those negotiations.

Bojo should stand firm...good on him...



Gove was very calm with his interviewer on Breakfast - he was saying that the UK couldn't accept the EU's position put forward in recent weeks that if the EU creates new trade rules in the future, we'd have to abide by them.

'Well done Liz Truss'...Singapore trade deal.

Singapore population 5.6m.
EU. population 500m.

Who needs Europe?


I have heard a rumour that we could clinch a deal with Tonga.
Groovy.

Which brought this response from the complete moron of an interviewer:

"So what you're saying is that you've shifted your position on N.Ireland, so you won't budge on others?"

Maybe he was Mr Tesco, again - cheddar and brie.

But top marks to Gove, calm and clear-headed.

"Cheddar could become Brexit favourite as no-deal could increase price of brie
Brexit will see a boost for Cheddar over Brie, the Tesco boss has said as the French cheese price could rise by 40 per cent in a no-deal"

Somerset brie is superior. Avoid buying French cheeses now.
Red Leicester. Stilton, Somerset Brie, Cheddar. Plenty of UK cheeses to choose from.

Screw the French.

Naysayer Remoaners shown to have lied about no trade deals, no rollover trade deals being possible I see...

UK and Singapore sign £17.6bn free trade deal
The agreement comes amid continued negotiations between the UK and EU over a post-Brexit trade deal.




As Brexiteers said at the time, Trade occurs DESPITE Governments, not BECAUSE of them.
FTA were always likely once UK pulled its finger out.

We have stuff people want to buy, and likewise we want to buy stuff others have to sell. And there are plenty of substitutes available globally for EU products we currently consume.

Boris Johnson refuses to back down in face of Brexit deadlock in Brussels

Negotiators must reach a deal within four days

Oliver Wright, Policy Editor | Bruno Waterfield, Brussels | Francis Elliott, Political Editor | Eleni Courea, Political Reporter
Thursday December 10 2020, 9.00am, The Times




Boris Johnson and EU leaders gave their Brexit negotiators four more days last night to get a deal as they warned that “very large gaps” remained between the two sides.

After three hours of “frank” discussion in Brussels between the prime minister and Ursula von der Leyen, president of the EU Commission, Downing Street said it was “unclear” whether the remaining differences could be bridged.

The two leaders gave their teams until Sunday to reach an agreement but said that if a deal was not possible by then, a “firm” decision would have to be taken to suspend talks and prepare for a Brexit without one.

“The prime minister does not want to leave any route to a possible deal untested,” a Downing Street source

"Britain is set to sign a £20bn post-Brexit trade deal with Canada that will roll over terms from an existing agreement with the EU"


Didn't Remoaners say UK would NOT be able to roll over Third party - EU trade deals on same terms????

Principle of Continuity.

There was one notable lawyer on twitter around June 2016 who was adamant that UK would not be able to achieve this at all.

Think about the small minded mentality of Nats and Brexiteers. Two peas in a pod. The irony is that you spend half your life slagging off people who are just as dimwitted as you. There have been no benefits of leaving the EU ... a trashed currency, lower levels of inward investment, and in a no deal scenario capital flight and decimation for a number of industries. Same small minded flag waving exceptionalism at work with both Nats and Brexiteers. If you were born north of the border you'd be one.
