What is “it” that proves that? To my knowledge (I may be wrong) the UK hasn’t negotiated many (any?) own trade deals so far but mostly (only?) rolled over existing EU trade deals. That’s the sensible thing to do (as I wrote before) but it’s hardly proof for how long it takes to negotiate a trade deal when someone else negotiated it for you and it isn’t tailored to your economy.

Quoteit's EEA membership without the advantages of being part of the single market
And without having any control whatsoever over that big power bloc on your doorsteps. So, without having fully understood the details yet, and considering that Brexit would always have been a lose-lose situation, it looks like a decent outcome. We’ll be able to drive European integration further and faster without the UK, grab some pieces from the financial services industry, while having protected the single market from cherry-picking and having prevented tariffs on goods.
Needless to say, this won’t be the end. Brexit is an illusion and impossibility; the entanglements and integration of European people and trade is reality and nothing a referendum can remove. We are in for endless discussions and negotiations, and I’m soon expecting the first Brexiteers to moan and rebel when they’ve read the fine print. At least Nigel Farage will forever have a job.

To be fair, recently 1 (!) case of attempted (!) voter fraud was discovered. That was a Trump supporter (!) trying to vote for Trump twice (or thrice). Go figure, and add to that all the legal voter suppression which kept Trump and the Republicans in power.

Without having seen the details of the agreement yet, I think it’s fair to say that:
Albeit this deal is better than no deal, especially during a pandemic; it’s pretty close to no deal. It covers trade, security, fishery and research. It doesn’t cover services. And it doesn’t cover regulatory alignment. There won’t be duties, but there will be customs and regulatory checks and all the red tape it brings.
That being said, our goal was to protect the single market and that achieves this agreement. The UK will ask herself whether this really was worth it.
One thing’s for sure: This won’t mark the end. Many topics remain open or have been touched only on the surface. The endless negotiations will go on. But with Brexit “done” and a deal in place, the UK might be able to get rid of Brexiteers and get back to normal. I see this deal as a transition period ????

Yawn. Use the full quote.
Pay attention to the final paragraph. Good lad.
He was spot on anticipating how Brexiteers would get in the way of economics.

The EU and the French, Macon in particular - all mouth and trousers.Only Brexiteers made big promises to their people (and failed). Not the EU. Not Macron. Not the Remainers. Ouch. It was so nice in lala land.

Got anything else you want to bitch and moan about?Who again made the big promises and failed? Not the EU. Not France. Not the remainers. Not any foreigners. ????

You can bitch and moan and deflect and get defensive as you like: doesn’t change that you miserably failed at what you promised: no FTA, no cake, especially not the easiest one in history.
(Not that anyone other than your own lot ever believed your promises.)

It was made pretty clear from the very beginning on.
48 minutes ago, darksidedog said:I wonder how long Macron will have a job when French fishermen have zero access to the fish they rely on catching?
I guess that depends on either how much percentage they make of the total electorate or how much value to compensate them. It’s definitely negligible in the greater scheme of things.

As long as we can pick 10 strawberries for every crab you catch
50 Strawberries for every Tuna you catch and a 100 Strawberries for every Cod you catch ?
How did you come up with exactly those numbers? Why not 43.4 strawberries for every 1.34 mackerel?

outside the eu they operate a protection racket within the eu they can't
If it’s outside the EU, it’s in a non-EU country. In a non-EU country, only that country’s government and laws can operate something — so it’s not the EU operating it.

Yes. Pretty much the opposite of the “protection racket to artificially keep prices high” that you falsely claimed.

The EU can't claim to be the world's freest trader, but on many measures it's toward the more liberal end of the spectrum.
So your own source says it’s pretty much the opposite of the “protection racket to artificially keep prices high” that you claimed.

what is the UK trade deficit with the EU -£97 billion on trade in goods
so that means the EU sells more to the UK than what the UK sells to the EU
The question wasn’t who sells more to whom but who’ll be affected more.

No and no. Just search this forum. Some of the Brexiteers here have made it clear that they don’t care about the economy as long as they get their sufferinity.

Shame they couldn't come up with something more original though, instead of ripping off the Brexiteers gags ????.
I guess that's the difference between innovative thinkers and followers of the EU dogma. The Bitters. Always moaning, always whinging. ????
I guess only a Little Englander applauds a remainer bingo as “innovative thinking”.
But it’s Christmas, and you guys across the channel don’t have much left to be proud of these days, so let me congratulate you for your achievement: well done, my little innovative thinker.

Why do Thais recommend divorced women with children to farang?
in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Posted
Would you entertain a dirty Thai (or Farang) woman?
Thais and Farangs are really not that different in this context: No one wants to date someone of (much) lower value unless he’s really desperate.
I know a lot of Thai women “up the social scale”. I am not talking about middle class women who are paying off a second hand Honda Civic and a studio room in an LPN condo out in Bang Na. None of them has kids. Only one I know has been married before and she’s still an absolute catch.
Many of them are single because they just cannot find a proper guy in their league. The common theme I hear is that there just aren’t enough proper men after you remove all the gays, ladyboys, men of lower status, and cheating and abusive guys from the dating pool. Some actually turn to tomboys. I have at least two of such relationships in my circle of friends now.
Only a few of those women would categorically rule out dating a western man; in fact, quite some of them have been or are dating western men. What those Western men have in common is that they are of equal or similar status. You can be offended by that, but then again I’m asking whether you would date someone who’s much lower than your own status?
On the other hand, I was also surprised to hear how many of these successful young women like to fool around themselves. It seems to be common for many to keep their options open and always look for something better when they’re below 30 or so, which may include having several guys or kik at the same time. Sadly, some will then end up with nothing in the end, because they’ve played too long and let too many options pass.
