We (the UK) are not allowed to sign deals due to the EU Bureaucracy. Until we leave. Another great reason to leave.

 

But China are open and looking forward to doing deals once we leave the EU.

  • If there's one thing to say about Brexiteers like Johnson and Farage then it would be that they are clueless. A big mouth, yes, but no plan, no solutions, nothing. Empty headed power seekers.

  • Zero chance in hell the E.U. goes against member Ireland on this issue.

BT has become the first international company to secure a licence to sell its services directly to Chinese customers, representing a potential thawing of relations between the UK and China.

BT are in UK which is nice.

I know. Thus I’m surprised a Brexiteer here celebrating a “nice” trade deal between the UK and China.

So the UK did not strike a “nice” trade deal with China unlike you claimed before.

Why did the UK allow BT to make the deal then when they operate from London.

EU will collapse they can't agree on anything.

Bless...

 

Another person who thinks China will give you anywhere near the same access and safeguards that you currently get with the EU.

 

Heres an example on how they treat their current ‘free’ trade partners...

Brexiteers here seems very confident. 

 

A positive approach. 

 

If fortuitously it won't be always the way they expect it will be, they can always blame the E. U. for it.

Oh yes! Very open....under conditions!

"Britain may have damaged its chances of securing a post-Brexit free trade deal with China after a Royal Navy warship sailed close to disputed islands in the South China Sea, a major Chinese state-run newspaper has warned."

Where did I say that the UK would get same access and safeguards as the EU. You are making things up to suit your own agenda. I await your reply or an apology.:coffee1:

Been independent is much better than 'taking it up the Gary' I would have thought.

Just another scheme by Boris designed to fail and take Ms Mayhem with it so he can claim the PM post.

I like Boris, hes like a Boxer Puppy i had years ago. Bounced about and totally untrainable. All ive learned about your Brexit is that only Nigel Do Da or whatever his name is talks true. They want you stay in to milk you only.

Oh, and your Citizens who live on Handouts will want to stay within the Go Fund Me Society.

Not going to apologize for anything. 

 

You quoted an article where they referenced ‘top notch’ FTAs which implies something. 

 

I’ll just leave you in la-la land believing all the hype around ‘free’ trade deals, and you’ll soon find that FTA’s most are in reality sub optimal, 4th rate agreements barely worth the paper they are written on, particularly with countries like China who simply go about giving with one hand through the FTA and taking with another.

So your not man enough when you make a mistake. Says a lot. Implying and saying are two completely different things.

I’m perfectly happy with my testosterone count, but thanks anyway. 

 

Are you going propose a duel at 12 paces now?

 

Simply giving you a friendly reminder what you are in for. It ain’t beer and skittles for sure.

Know what you mean about Boris ???? - but he's only using his natural talent at being very 'likable' to further his own interests.

 

He's extremely untrustworthy IMO, as made even more clear by this thread headline where he's now saying that only the backstop is a problem with the eu/May agreement!

I think response you’ll get is fingers in ears screaming ‘la la la la la, blue passports’ ad nauseum. 

 

Mind you, even if you do get an FTA with the Chinese, like the Australians did, they can still stuff around with you if they don’t like what you are saying.

It’s enough to make a Brussels bureaucract seem all soft and cuddly by comparison...

During the period of the 2010 election I answered the door to find Boris standing on the door step, resplendent in blue ribbons and cheerily asking if we were going to vote for him.

 

Disarmed by his hail-fellow-well-met disposition I regret to report, I lapsed and prevented the dog from biting him.

Did he now?

As an MP or prospective MP he ought to understand that voting is secret in UK and not a public act.

 

The actual ballot is secret at the box. Plenty of ‘exit polls’ ask how you voted.
It’s well accepted for a candidate to knock on your door and ask “Can we rely on your vote sir? Thank you very much, would you like a lift to the polling station?”

Correct.

 

Voting is secret.

 

Canvassing voting intentions does not infringe the secrecy of a vote that has not taken place.

well

asking people if they are going to vote for bojo is rather impertinent and on the fringe

in my view
