No.

There will be no agreement with the WTO rules. You either accept them or you do not. They are not open to negotiation. 

So either we accept the WTO terms and have them imposed upon us or we reject them.

If we accept them then we are having our trade dictated to us by a bunch of unelected foreigners.

  We are part of those "unelected foreigners" who made the rules .

We are part of that group , do you realise that we are also foreigners to them ?

Yes, we accept them , we are happy to oblige by WTO rules

the reason for that, is that if we didn't, and because of your short memory, you would have accused the EU of not granting you an extension to plea your case

 

but you are right, Barnier should have said to Maybot and her team to <deleted> off on day 1 ????

 

complete waste of time, but we knew that already, but what do you do with a bunch of moaning Brexiteers ????

   Farage stood before the E.U and asked you, pleaded with you , to grant no more extensions to the on-going talks and to let is leave  , the E.U Parliament ignored that and gave an extension to the discussions , forcing us to stay

Just now, Rookiescot said:

 

Excellent. Now were are making progress. Although it is slow and I have to keep repeating myself in order to get you to answer questions.

So Brexit is all about immigration then. You dont like foreigners coming to the UK.

But you have no issue with foreigners dictating what our trade should look like?

  I have no problems with foreigners coming to the UK , I just think it should be regulated and controlled , rather than a free for all 

I am happy to be part of the WTO , we are part of that group and we all come to an amicable agreement about the rules  .

  We dodn't join groups and then dictate to them what the rules should be , we come to agreements

Because Boris fooled us ....promised  walking away  .... but never did .... keeps coming and above all ....phoning Merkel  ,Macron & Ursula  VDL for diners appointments ????

 We have indeed left and we are in discussions , the option has always been for the E.U to walk away and to have no more negotiations or discussions with us , but you kept persevering with them .

  The E.U could have said no more extensions to the discussions , we even pleaded with you to do that , but no, you refused and kept us in the E.U for a few more years

But the WTO rules are dictated to us. We cannot change them. We get no say. 

But now we get to the crux of the matter eh? Brexit is all about immigration which is something you Brexiteers have always strenuously denied. 

  I cannot speak on behalf of anyone else , but I have always  had the opinion that Immigration should be regulated and that aired that numerous time , albeit, not every 20 minutes in the same thread

And now having our trade dictated to us by unelected foreigners in the WTO.

   You posted that 20 minutes ago, using slightly different words

It works both ways.

 

If its no issue to have a no deal why is it taking years to leave. Just leave. Instead the UK has been trying for a deal.

  We have left, we left left the E.U on 20 th January 2020 .

It does work both ways , why are the E.U continuing with talks ?

By definition, a "Thai expat" is an expatriate Thai person, ie. a Thai person living in a country other than Thailand.

 

As far as I know, they can come back relatively easily to their homeland in Thailand if they so chose.

 

Therefore I have absolutely no clue why the OP is prattling on about foreigners domiciled in Thailand, stranded or otherwise.

  We all know what he meant .

Although some people try to be difficult , and take the OP heading literally

We all know very well that he was referring to Felangs living in Thailand

So handing over some of our sovereignty to the WTO who then dictate the rules we have to abide by and we have no say in what those rules are is preferable to having remained in the EU where we had a say on what the rules were?

Taking back control?

  The UK is part of this World , having agreements with other Countries in the world is no loss to sovereignty .

The whole World agreed to the WTO terms , why should the UK be any different ?

The loss of sovereignty in regards to the E.U was the lack of control of our borders , the WTO agreement doesnt dictate to us who can and cannot enter the UK

So a real loss of sovereignty .......no discussion or negotiating......we need to have a vote and withdraw from these onerous rules imposed on us by an unelected body....(as soon as we have joined).

 We joined the WTO in 1995 and were members of the proceeding GATT since 1948 .

The discussions and negotiations finished in 1995

So we will have to abide by the rules set by a bunch of unelected Johnny Foreigners?

Wow. 

   Its a World agreement , which we have agreed to . 

We are a member of the WTO and happily abide by the rules

1 minute ago, Rookiescot said:

No. I'm talking about the WTO.

Are you expecting to go into the WTO and start telling them what you will and will not accept?

 

????

  No, the WTO rules  are clearly stated and already agreed upon , there will be no discussion or negotiating , it will be an over ready transition

Has anyone told Immigration yet? How the expats have "saved the day" and deserve to be treated a bit more like responsible adults than naughty schoolchildren?

   Help immigration by using an agent . 

They need feeding too

How do you know what Brexit people voted for?

   The question was asked on the ballot voting forms

1 minute ago, Rookiescot said:

 

The sovereign right to make our own rules.

That was one of the things Brexit was about right?

  If we agree to any E.U demands , that will indeed be making our own rules 

That would be our choice

Does your link say that its not racist?

 

This link says that it is.

 

https://wiktionary.academic.ru/18245

 

"gyppo — /ˈdʒɪpoʊ/ (say jipoh) (sometimes upper case) Colloquial (derogatory) (racist)"

 

 

  That is in Russian , I cannot read Russian .

BTW , how many pages on google search did you have to go back to to find that result ?

Well they will have to get a visa then won't they.

  I dont think so , there was an agreement between Spain and the UK that Brits living in Spain and Spanish living in the UK , could continue living there if they have applied for residency

Where did I say that’s not the case? Trading under WTO rules would exactly be the scenario that I was referring to. 

  No one is suggesting or expecting there to be a new cold war between the UK and the E.U.

There wont be another Iron Curtain going up

"Gyppo" is a racist term. 

   It isnt 

"Nowadays the term "gyppo", like "pikey", is often used as an insult to refer to anyone who is perceived to be poor, dirty, smelly and/or inclined to theft."

Urban Dictionary: gyppo

Not the sinking

.... only comparing the steering to a disaster when even knowing icebergs are around .... typical blind self-assurance  as for now with Boris as the captain on the  Brexit-coaster  ????

 

 

BTW  .... nice try to put it in a bad way .... keep learning 

Comparing Brexit with the Titanic ?

I will raise you a :

Comparing Brexit to World War 2 , they both took about the same amount of time and the end results are the same  .

And Cameron's foolish referendum - purely to save his own political party.

   It wasnt to save his party .

UKIP were rising in popularity and Cameron held the referendum, expecting remain to win and thus making UKIP irrelevant

I remind you that your avitar voted against the deal too.

  Boris voted against the half-leaving , half-staying in deal , which wasnt really the Brexit people voted for

Whatever conspiracy theory you believe ...., it was  a British designed ship  ....and that "damn Iceberg" would not divert for a  "rule Britannia waves ship "  coming .....( Iceberg probably didn't see the flag ....????.....) ????

  If you read the story , it seems to make sense , it all fits .

Anyway , you seem to using the sinking of a ship as a celebration , because it was a UK design , which is rather unpleasant and immature.

  Will be be gloating about the Concord crash next ?

if you ask the Brits living in France or Spain, they are staying in their property and not leaving even of it means never to return to the UK ????

   There is nothing to stop Brits living in Spain and France returning to the UK .

As long as they have applied for residency in those Countries and adhere to the residency rules , thay can stay as long as they like and come and go as they please .

  As I recall foreign residents living in the UK had to visit the UK at least once every two years to keep that residency
