I don't often agree with the man, but he does have a good point there. In that scenario, Trump would have incredible leverage and could pretty much dictate the terms of the trade agreement. Countries trade with each other without trade agreements. It's not the be all and end all. The UK buys vast amounts of products from China (over 45 billion) without any deals in place. Currently, because the UK is a member of the EU, and because the EU doesn’t have a free trade agreement with China, the UK doesn’t have one either. Beijing has made it clear that it would welcome an FTA with the UK with “open arms” and has stated that it would make a “top notch” deal. I'm sure they would much rather have a great deal with the USA though! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit below the belt there Orton Rd. Poor JC. He is a hot-bloodied male like the rest of us (some). Who wouldn't want a raving sex-pot as a girl friend? Just look at the way she rolls her eyes! And she has an 'O level' in maths. She may well be home secretary soon. She will help us penniless farang get home with their Thai families. Get Julian out of high security and obtain proper compensation for Windrush victims (and others). She has a humane side to her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the promotors of Brexit said that's what was on offer, they all spoke of a trade deal with the EU, one even said it would be the easiest deal ever. Maybe you can post some evidence from that time showing that no deal was promoted even as a possible, let alone expected outcome. In the meantime please note this survey from the Times/Sunday Times (You know those two left wing magazines). It is over 20,000 people - that's a big survey by UK polling standards. It shows you just how popular a no deal Brexit actually is. The people of Britain may finally be waking up from their Brexit fantasy induced coma. Your working class heroes may be beginning to understand that austerity was a walk in the park, compared with what No deal Brexit would bring. You can't fool all of the people all of the time.

I think, now he appears to understand the disaster facing the country, even he can see that his duty is to the country first. If we have an economic disaster, then most of the socialist policies are impossible anyway. IMO what would stop him from proroguing parliament and ruling by executive order until May 2022, is simply that he would be dumped by others in this fragile coalition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without sitting no vote of confidence could be called and if there were coalition members in his government he could sack them and replace them with his loony left chums... Even if the Labour Party was to expel him it would not force him to stand down as PM, with the evermore chance of the UK being run by minority governments in the future the use of Proroguing needs to be looked at to prevent its misuse.

No deal equates to leaving the EU, the ECJ, Customs Union, Single market. That's what leaving the EU meant and this was reported so often. The leader of remain camp (David Cameron) also told everyone countless times, although remainers seem to conveniently forget that fact. So if that's what no deal equates to leaving the above so be it. 58 minutes ago, Nigel Garvie said: In the meantime please note this survey from the Times/Sunday Times (You know those two left wing magazines).

And when you talk about Britishness becoming 'more and more diluted' what you really mean is those pesky foreigners are diluting your idea of Britishness based upon a long forgotten Empire we steadily (and rightfully) lost over the 20th century. But hey as long as your perceived 'Federalist Superstate' is brought to heel, economic and social disaster is a small price to pay.

It's standing for peace, democracy, freedom, prospering economy. Your problem is outline very clear: Your "home" will never be Europe. Europe was founded as Europe of fatherlands but not in an altruistic old fashioned way but a modern always developing community with freedom of speech and movement. You are entitled to live and work where you want without any visa restriction. Also many laws should be the same in all countries when it comes to crime, banks and taxes. Also same laws in respect of saving environment. When it comes to trading free in-and export. Also a European High Court is there to appeal if laws are neglected. All this you never realised. In Brussels are sitting people also sent by UK. These people decide what is good for EU. You got your vote there. So don't complain when you next dealing with EU by having no say but following EU legislation. Your (UK) prosperity is always tied to EU, now and in future. EU is your biggest trade partner, don't forget. To comment negociations with vocabs from WW2 is not only disgusting but shows the mental disabilities of those who use it. We are not in war, and there is no surrender but just negociations between trade partners and partner governments. I'm not in war with British people but puzzled how many following populists ideas and selfish populist so called politicians on their ego-trip.???????????????????????? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
