We dont have to do what Biden says , we are an independent Country and the USA do not Govern us
Correct. You just can stay at your tiny isles.
But for TRADE and other exchanges... it might be Britannia to rule the waves around these isles, but a little outside... wise to listen to the big ones.

So we cant have a border in Ireland and we cant have a border in the Irish sea.
Only solution is to remain in the EU's single market.
Ergo Johnson will have to accept all the EU's demands for allowing access.
Will that include freedom of movement?
When you want to do business in any country, it has to be in accordance with the laws of that country. in case of a dispute, you go to a court in that country.
Unless... you made a trade agreement with that country.

I don't want to see a border between the US and Mexico but it has got nothing what so-ever to do with me, and just because the President Elect has 1 ounce of Irish blood in him, Ireland has zippo to do with him.
You forget there is an agreement about the N-S Irish border, with the signature of the UK Prime minister on it and ratified by the UK parliament.
Or course any other president or lorry driver has anything to say about it, as only.. no cooperation from that president or lorry driver in the future.

I thought the Taliban, as representatives of the Religion of Peace, should honour their armistage ?

When you want to do business in Thailand / UK / EU / any country, you have to do that in accordance with the law of that country, and in case of a dispute, go top the courts of that country.
When you sell rights in your county('s waters, like fishing rights, 80% of the Welsch to Spanish fisherman), then you stick to that.
Only THAT is what Boris c.s. does not want.
But.. why to negotiate with a government and parliament, who even do not honour their signature under a treaty for 1 year ?

Seen this UK review, not so many EU citizens want to break out of that "maffia "club.

This Republican president want to break the record of the Democratic president, Roosevelt, for the number of deaths during his administration. Roosevelt needed 4 years and two terms to reach that, Trump will do it in 3/4 of a year, one term. as of March 31, 1946 there were an estimated 286,959 dead. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_casualties_of_war#:~:text=As of June 2018 total of US World,Wounded as 103%2C 284 and MIA as 8%2C177.

The advisors are calling for action not pres elect....the pattern begins.
That's why the president-elect brought these advisers together... at least.. in normal countries.

7 hours ago, thaibeachlovers said:The worst option IMO would be a "European" military force.
I referred to France because Macron was speaking. Obviously each state should build it's own effective military force, to work as allies in the event of a threat, but not being under the control of Brussels ( ergo France and Germany ).
Instead of having an European defense force under US command, better to have this under European command. Maybe one of the few good results of the Trump administration.

Tis US president did EVERYthing to make voting by mail more difficult, as he know, the Democrat voting had fear of covid-19, were not to wealthy to come by car, so were very interested in the alternative: by mail.
When the postal system does not have enough equipment, not enough staff to proces so many tens of million postal votes, do not be surprised when the vote counting lasts so long. That's why this presidential crook wants to stop voting after midnight on the day of election, why he and his followers tried to claim fraud.

Is that not the same liar, who told the virus would fade away in April and promised several times a working vaccin ? The same guy, who , thanks to his attitude, behaviour etc is the cause of so many infected and deaths in the USA ?

18 hours ago, uncleP said:neither of them represent the UK, however, splitting The North from the UK would certainly not preserve the Good Friday Agreement for "loyalists".
Unless.. these "loyalists" discover, the No Deal Brexit hits them too hard in their wallet.
Remember the German writer in the 30-'s-5o-'s : "zuerst kommt das Fressen, danach die Moral" = First comes the eating, after that the moral.

November 2040 ?
No, that is the date when totally poor England ask for an association with view on membership for the EU. The Gaelic confederation, consisting of S + N Ireland, Scotland and Wales vetoed earlier attempts.
The English accepted 5 pounds = 1 €uro, the Schwengen-2 agreement, and right lane traffic already.

Biden still has to keep in mind: many US citizens are of Irish descent: About 33 million Americans — 10.1% of the total population — identified as being Irish in the 2017 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. This compares with a population of 6.9 million people on the island of Ireland.

4 hours ago, uncleP said:I am an ardent remainer, however, I believe the EU are unrealistic in their demands which in my mind are punishment for leaving the EU. No country gives up territory on land or sea without proper compensation or the right to self administration once the decision to leave has been decided by the referendum. I bothers me to say that because I'd be quite happy to see bonking Boris consigned to the political wilderness or even Hades ????
The demands of the EU are simple: you want to do business inside the Union, than in accordance with EU laws, rules and regulations. In case of a dispute: EU courts are the only to decide. Both Boris denies.
Fish... is only in the UK an issue.
However, what everybody seems to forget: Anyone, who thinks
a) any industry wants to take the resultk not to get raw materials, spare parts or components in time seen possibly line up of trucks at the UK-EU border ?? Of course not, and are switching to EU origin.
b) any retailer, who reserves shop shelf space for products there is no supply guarantee or no idea about the cost price seen import duty ? Of course not. Place si already being taken by EU origin products.
And same on the other side of the cod pool, in the UK.
A Hard Brexit is already happening, whatever the politicians might find out.

When for over 4 years you put not only question marks, but took really every step to bring US governmental bodies in discredit except of course your own indefinite wisdom, your unlimited wisdom, lies about everything, brought is country far in front of the rest of the world in corona mortal casualties and infected, even claim a victory days before all voters are counted, try to stop counting when it turns wrong to you, come with accusations of stealing the vote, crocked, fake etc about the cote counting, ... sorry, you lost all credibility and should face court. How deep somebody can sink..

Yes, because it's going to be absolutely impossible to buy tomatoes from Spain without an FTA isn't it ????.
With all these countries around the world refusing to trade with each other unless an FTA is in place, it really makes you wonder how China and the EU do a Billion Euros of trade a day without a trade deal, doesn't it. There must be massive queues at all those Chinese ports, all that paperwork, checking every single box in every single container, it must be chaos ????.
When you have 1.3 BILLION Chinese, who wants a job...

Let the democratic system has it's way first.
And all those, who call "fraude" ? What did YOU do to prevent that ? You were at the counting station to see ?
In Netherlands, every citizen is allowed to be present there ( but close to nobody shows up, as we know how correct all is there). Here it is NOT the 'so-called US Democracy". Also, here, we respect each other whether we agree or even detest the ideas of the other ( as long as.. under Dutch constitution, set up in 1848, and in 1983 a re-writing in accordance with the present style.

The building only "needs to be demolished" if the owners of the units decide as much. Similarly, there's no "they" to tear down the building - the ones deciding to go forward with the demolition are the owners themselves. As noted above, if the owners collectively decide that the building is no longer habitable and isn't worth rebuilding, the land will be sold, the proceeds distributed to the unit owners, and that will be the end of that.
Who decides if a building is "no longer habitable"? The (local) government, the monks, the ? ?

In 2007 I helped my Thai business friend to purchase a condo for herself. My question to a good friend of mine, and in the construction industry about quality of the building, as THAT is my biggest fear: "Lumpini Construction Co: no worry."
However, after the first "funtok", the rainwater flowed in along the window frame. Was not properly sealed to the wall.
During the Tom Yam Khung /Asian financial crises ( 1997) , I read : over 200 buildings towers in Bangkok would NOT be allowed in Netherlands seen the municipal Construction + Building Dept. regulations and rules.
Second: "maintenance" is NOT the top-priority in Thailand. "who lives tomorrow, cares tomorrow". That's why Thai prefer newly built.

a 234.567 deaths, a 9.302.271 confirmed cases of which 5.567.985 are recovered... who cares ? ( For sure not the US President and his administration ) see https://www.bing.com/search?q=corona+casualties+usa&cvid=afd2351f035b4bc688691ec22012cea7&pglt=547&FORM=ANSPA1&PC=U531

peace be with you all.
We nearly all did not want to believe what about every virologist, epidemiologist on the world said.
In January not closed the border with China, in Feb. keep all as open as possible ( the quarantaine in northern Italy so open, a Slovenian TV crew could go in, make a report and.. left again, showing many in that area did the same. Saturday 22 Feb 19:30 at our local RTL-news. 19 Feb the open air football mach Bergamo-Valencia. The rest is history). In March the alarm bells went off, with the discovery: close-to-zero personal protection clothes, preparations non-existing. In UK even a happy-handshake program of Boris.
When the virus was nearly pushed out, all forgot all precautions, with result... to be in real deep sh.t now.

Biden says UK border with Ireland must be open
in World News
Posted
in the E.U. and we got told what to do by them ? Nonsense.
the EU council, with the PM of the UK in it..
The EU commission, with in it the UK commissioner
The EU parliament, with UK members in it...
From 1 JAN 2021 00:00:01.. nobody inside these EU cremia defends British interests.
Advantage: you British can make your own decisions, but when that means: Schengen visa, international driver licence +_ insurances, WTO-treatment as being a "Third country".. or oh laughter.. all imports from European third countries via the port of Talinn... do not cry then.
