Which other country did the EU demand unfettered access to their fishing waters as part of an FTA?
Simple question. Answer it.
Then I'll give you the next example.
I wouldn't hold your breath Jonny.

It's called a covid recovery fund, and at least we've got one, unlike the EU who cannot agree their budget / recovery funding.
But, of course, the EU has a solution to the problem of Hungary and Poland vetoing the budget, just refuse them the right to vote - very democratic...

How can anyone trust a government which signs an international treaty and then a few months later declares that it's going to ignore it?
Lots of countries out there signing trade deals and fisheries agreements that dispels your opinion. ????

OK then why did he sign it and indeed tout it as being HIS oven ready deal?
So predictable. ????
I know this post has gone on a long time, but have you forgotten I told you before, to get the process off the starting block, and get the UK out of the EU clutches which I think you must admit, he has done.

Go on - be a sport. I'm waiting with baited breath to see what evidence you have to disprove my statements.
Oh, of course, there isn't any......

Ah, but they are UK trade deals now, independent of the EU's protectionist levies and taxes.
Very sad that you can only denigrate the UK's efforts and progress in making a success of their new start. I suppose you remainers would be happier to see the UK fall flat on it's face, just so you can say I told you so......

Name one.
You can't; because the ECJ has no jurisdiction over a member state's criminal law and courts.
"The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) interprets EU law to make sure it is applied in the same way in all EU countries, and settles legal disputes between national governments and EU institutions.
It can also, in certain circumstances, be used by individuals, companies or organisations to take action against an EU institution, if they feel it has somehow infringed their rights." (Source)
BS - the EUC of human rights overturned many a UK court decision - do you really know nothing?
Stop asking for proof, I'm not your nanny, look it up yourself if you dispute my statements, because I'm certainly not going to just to satisfy your intransigence, and refusal to accept the truth.

Tofer, as you are merely repeating your assumptions and false accusations without actually providing any evidence at all to back them up, I see no reason for me to take up even more bandwidth and further bore everyone else by yet again providing the evidence which proves you wrong and asking you the same questions you have again refused to answer.
No doubt in your mind you will see that as some form of false victory.
There are none so blind as those that will not see......

Bl..dy awful!
I'll never forget the number of prosecutions in UK courts that were overturned by the EUCJ, releasing criminals back onto our streets.

What, there wasn't any covid in the EU. How much was it they are borrowing to fund the consequences of covid?

The EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has warned David Frost that without a major negotiating shift by Downing Street within the next 48 hours he will pull out of the Brexit negotiations in London this weekend, pushing the talks into a fresh crisis.
looks like Barnier has been taking lessons from Boris, since the begging hasn't worked.....

Nice that you completely ignored my reply and just posted the headline of the FT.
You posted 2 links with the same text from different rightwing neoliberal sources as evidence for what? The things the BoE got wrong? They didnt. It just took longer to happen because you Brexiteers couldnt decide what Brexit ACTUALLY means.
And that was in response to a post I made asking for links to what you Brexiteers have actually got right ????.
Is all this crowing ever going to change the FACT, we've left - get used to it, get on board, or move to your beloved EU.

Read the post again.
The implication that I am an optimist was quite clear in your statement, and hence by association am stupid. Stop digging, that hole is getting bigger.....
However, I would much rather be a cheerful optimist than a dreary pessimist.

You can ask that same question of the UK government. As I am not privy to what goes on around the negotiating table, I can't answer.
With all your knowledge, you mean to tell me you aren't aware that the EU are demanding the UK remain under the control of EU laws and regulations after the transition period, the so called "level playing field". Well I'm shocked, something you don't know, that is staring everybody in the face on a daily basis.
15 hours ago, 7by7 said:Don't say you've already given examples; because so far you have only given unsubstantiated and easily disproven rumours.
The disproven rumours that come straight from the horses mouth - Michel Barnier, in frequent news reports, DEMANDING a "LEVEL PLAYING FIELD", got it now, or do you still wish to pull the wool over your eyes, because it won't wash with anyone else.
I'm sorry if I'm not as techy clever as you, and am not familiar with the process of attaching news reports, but there it is. The facts are not hidden, but clear for everyone to see, without the need for substantiating quotes - oh sorry you don't have any, you just keep trying to turn it back on me.
15 hours ago, 7by7 said:Whereas the evidence of Johnson reneging on the WA is contained within the his Internal Market Bill.
The bill that was made necessary by the EU's nasty devious and vindictive tactics to intervene in the UK's trade between UK & NI, and still are, by the news I've seen only 2 days ago they were again threatening a blockade of UK products to NI.
NI is a part of the UK, not the EU.
15 hours ago, 7by7 said:The EU; never denied that. But the UK will continue with quotas; see Flagship Fisheries Bill becomes law.
Did you fail to read the date on that new law ""2020"", and the statement that the UK take back control after 40 years. Come on, get real.... Did you think I cannot or will not read the link, hoping I will just cave under your spurious facts...

15 hours ago, 7by7 said:Hence my oft repeated question which you have dodged again.
Again, I did not say we had """SOLD OUT""". please, by all means highlight that statement again, if you wish to prove your point, but this time be a bit less disingenuous and show exactly where I used those words.
Oh, sorry you can't..... ????
At the end of the day, if you're so enamoured with the EU - you know what to do.....

18 hours ago, 7by7 said:All trade agreements have standards and rules which both parties agree to. As the UK's standards and rules are the same as the EU's; what's the problem?
Exactly, so why then are the EU still holding out an a trade agreement if all our standards are the same as the EU?
The problem is the EU want control past the Brexit transition period to impose any new rules they deem fit, as I said, in perpetuity. Does that sound like independent sovereignty to you?
18 hours ago, 7by7 said:But tell us, how are the EU disregarding it?
For the umpteenth time, they are not negotiating in good faith and are not respecting the UK's sovereignty. (see above)
18 hours ago, 7by7 said:I did answer previously when I stated the fact that it is the UK who want to renege on the WA, not the EU.
A selective opinion, that conveniently ignores the EU's transgressions. See above.
18 hours ago, 7by7 said:As UK fisheries have said, and they know far more about this than you or I, that will not happen for the simple reason that there are not enough British boats to fill the gap.
Can't be any worse than the present scenario, and we manage to catch the fish now. Then there will be all those European boats up for sale shortly, at a good price.
Hopefully the deal done with those countries will fulfil any shortfall we may find in need, to replace that from the EU's fishermen.
18 hours ago, 7by7 said:Rubbish. Each coastal state was given the power to issue licences for it's own waters. The UK government issued all it's licences to UK fleet owners. Many of those owners went for a quick profit by selling their licences to foreign owners.
And who exactly, set the fishing quotas that came out of those UK waters?
18 hours ago, 7by7 said:No, the link leads to this post of yours:
Where do I state that the British fishermen have been "sold out"??
18 hours ago, 7by7 said:I ask you again, how does taking back the fishing rights the British government allowed British fishing fleet owners to sell to fleet owners from other EU coastal states and giving those rights to fleets from Iceland, Norway, Greenland and the Faroe Islands help the UK fishing industry?
So you are proclaiming that the UK has given away the same amount of quota to those countries, as that which the EU have enjoyed / demanded over the last 40 years - rubbish.

Yeah we should just do what you do. Believe everything will be just peachy.
Optimism is a great thing. Optimism when faced with overwhelming facts is just stupidity.
It's still negativity, even if it comes from the BoE governor. Whenever have financial analysts been correct?
Now who's being insulting?
If you can't stay civil - better not stay...

Sorry, I'm not being critical of your command of the English language as you're obvious not of English origin. But I cannot make any sense of your post, therefore I have no comment.
