Whereas you believe Macron to be a serious heavy weight political genius no doubt.

Where did I comment on Macron?

A french banker bluffed is way into the President's job and lords it up over France with his opulence and now appoints himself godfather of Lebanon. 

Not sure commenting on a PMs past job is a good idea when your own one is a failed journalist who was caught making up stuff in his columns.

Sorry, but repeatedly saying "Non, non, non," isn't negotiating.

A perfectly fine part of a negotiation. Feel free to say “no, no, no” in return.

I have to laugh when someone complain about the "democracy"in Thailand but still forget that they come from a country that is member of the modern USSR (EU) if you come from Australia, New Zealand,US and Canada etc etc which is democratic then go a head , but if you are from Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium then shut up, EU represent communism and tyranny. May the EU collapse as quick as the Soviet Union. We need freedom and democracy!!

Did you forget to take your medicine again?

No, your prediction link .........................????

Search my post history. I predicted end of last week that Boris would backpedal on his deadline. He’s a clown, and clowns are bad at bluffing.

As I predicted. The talks continue.  Another imaginary deadline Boris backpedals on. 

One of the few western countries that apparently has achieved to not breed a considerable number of losers and idiots who vote far-right and believe QAnon. Good job, New Zealand!

Love the comment that we beat the Romans.  We were occupied by the Romans who dragged us out of the dark ages and gave us some of the best roads in the world.

Well, it’s usually people who haven’t achieved much themselves to be proud of who need to compensate it by being proud of their great-great-great-ancestors’ achievements. Not that it would have anything to do with Brexit anyway.

Moody's downgrades the UK's ratings to Aa3 (https://m.moodys.com/research/Moodys-downgrades-the-UKs-ratings-to-Aa3-outlook-stable--PR_434172) 

Moody's Investors Service ("Moodys") has today downgraded the government of the United Kingdom's long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings to Aa3 from Aa2. (...) Even before the coronavirus-induced shock, a combination of persistently low productivity growth since the global financial crisis, tepid business investment since the June 2016 EU referendum, and prolonged uncertainty over the eventual future trading relationship with the EU were weighing on the UK's growth performance. Even if there is a trade deal between the UK and EU by the end of 2020, it will likely be narrow in scope and therefore the UK's exit from the EU will, in Moody's view, continue to put downward pressure on private investment and economic growth. (...) 

The third factor informing today's rating action is Moody's view that the UK's weakened institutional policy effectiveness, an element that the rating agency considers a governance factor under its ESG framework, makes these credit challenges more difficult to tackle. This reduced institutional capacity to manage change in a predictable and confidence-building manner is evident with respect to the UK's approach to Brexit, in its inability to achieve an outcome which meaningfully replicates the benefits of EU membership and in its approach to implementing the agreement reached with the EU to date.

To be 'fair' I would treat all parties the same, (...)

It's like having two children, (...)

I’m afraid you’re living in lala land; that’s not how business works. 
 

And had there been any goodwill to treat you like our child, you gambled it away with all your lies and abusive language about “Brussels dictators”, “unelected bureaucrats” and so on. You wanted to be treated as a third country, you are being treated as a third country. So stop the whining.

However, Barnier and his British counterpart David Frost had agreed to speak again early next week, Downing Street said.

Boris is a clown, and clowns are bad at bluffing. The negotiations continue. The next deadline he backpedaled from.

"Trade talks are over" says Mr. Johnson. 

Frost and Barnier meeting next week must be for watching football then. 
 

No, the negotiations continue, and they will continue forever, and Boris backpedaled again and it won’t be the last time he backpedaled. He’s a clown, and clowns are bad at bluffing.

Nope.....

 

You might want to read this:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46612362

 

and short version here: "When we look at the share of the EU's exports going to the UK there is a choice to make about whether to include trade among the remaining 27 EU countries in total goods exports. If we do include it, the UK share is 6.2%; if we don't it's 18% of the total"

Yeah, and if we exclude trade with other countries from the UK, the EU is your one and only market. I’m really wondering how your business has been able to survive given your lack of analytical skills. Anyway, thanks for your comment — I will add it to my list of favorite Brexiteer quotes, just next to “they need us more than we need them because there’s a trade deficit.”

We don't need access to the internal market, the UK buys considerably more from the EU than they do from the UK.

You’re either lacking logical reasoning skills or basic business acumen. Since you’re a Brexiteer, it’s probably both.

The UK will now either accept what the EU wants or go their own way.

Or Boris will do what he’s best at: backpaddling and kicking the can down the road.
