I have a couple of friends in Thailand who are from the UK and they all agree with my point of view.

Maybe more of you should read The Guardian and learn from it. Then you would be better informed about your own country.

"I have a couple of friends in Thailand who are from the UK and they all agree with my point of view."

If you think by having a "couple of friends" from the UK that agrees with you gives your argument any credibilty I would have a rethink, are you serious?

And as for reading the Guardian, you would get more sense out of reading tea leaves.????????????

You snide jibes of little UK are pathetic and obviously you are not from the UK. I would love you to mention that in the UK and see what happens. I can tell you that you would be eating from a straw and deservedly so.

Wow you’re really hard 

 

Tell me you were embarrassed writing that thuggish little missive, if you weren’t you should have been

Which part is so difficult for you to understand?

They also have pictures to make it easier for those who are intellectually challenged.

I think you have a problem holding back your rudeness sometimes, but do not worry we don't have much longer to endure the snide remarks from some posters.

If by insulting our elected PM whilst your own unelected leaders go unchallenged there will almost certainly be problems.

Maybe the thought of how democracy works scares some people, but it might be worth giving it a try sometime.

Here is Guardian columnist Yasmin Brown getting her leg pulled for not understanding how democracy works also.

Will you go back to the wonderful UK to live there happily ever after and not contribute to Thai Visa anymore?

Or will I be banned from this forum for not supporting Boris?

And how much longer is "much longer"? I a certain lots of people, especially Europeans, will continue to laugh for years about Great Britain and their idea that they are able to dictate the rules to the EU, USA, China and other big players.

What would you be like without the silly memes and snide remarks............ maybe a more sociable poster?

But as Socrates said "when the argument is lost, the losers revert to insults."

Ah, we have a ‘salt of the earth‘ poster here. A real Brit. Are you one of those people who have your Facebook profiles stating that you attended the ‘school of hard knocks’ and the ‘university of life’ too?
 

This ‘one’ would be more than happy for Fred to negotiate the new free trade deal with the EU. But you are going to leave it to Boris and his chums, they aren’t going to be looking out for you. 

 

My only observation is that 11 months ain’t enough (see see, I used an every mans word!!!) to build a comprehensive negotiation position and be able to prioritize your trade must haves vs the ones you are happy to negotiate away. 
 

But that one little observation seems to have gotten you and your other Everyman mates backs up. It’s like I’m pointing out you don’t have a clear plan or something and are offended by it!
 

But you seem to be happy to sell out the small business people who are going to be most affected by all the new regulatory compliance that comes from being on the outside p!ssing in trade wise. Not me. 

It's the vast majority of small businesses in the UK (that don't export) that have had to bear extra costs for years due to the burden of EU regulations. What are you on about?

What? You mean that all two of them agree with you? So many friends! I have to be jealous.

She also stated she would leave UK if Boris won, yet was still present during a press preview last week and squirmed when her fellow panelist Brendan O'Neill pointed it out ????

It’s pretty typical isn’t it?

 

These blokes are all tip and no iceberg. 
 

Scratch the surface a little, challenge their grey matter just a small amount - and they revert to their anti-foreigner yob mentality. It would be funny if it want so predictable.

Your guess is as good as mine. You mentioned regulations and I responded. Regulations may be involved with any trade deal but I don't think that we will have even more from the EU than we have already.

If you want to keep trading as seamlessly as possible there is going to have to be regulatory adherence.
 

Problem becomes that now there is going to be a whole lot of new trade agreements - you are going to have to align products for those regulatory regimes as well. It’s a pain for smaller businesses.

The last thing we need right now is an unelected leader in Brussels telling our elected PM in the UK what to do. We both have the same deadline to work to now, time to stop messing about a get on with it instead of making excuses before we even start talking. 

 

The leader, if you refer to Ursula, was elected ... (I spare myself to insert an appropriated term assessing your mental health) ... or how exactly do you think she got head of the EU commission? Appointed by a god?

No, not really. It does bad since Thatcher left. Actually starting doing bad with Thatcher. That is the reason why "people" want to leave. They think it is the EU, but don't grasp it is their own failed politics. After they have left, it will go downhill even more. But for us EU citizens we will have an interesting new vacation country, low prices and such ... a shame that UK goes the greek way.

Farage & Co claimed at the time with some dismay that they (BP/MEPs) were 'Given a list & told who to vote for'.

 

All 5 were a shoe-in!

She was confirmed after a secret ballot, has the EU always been this transparent.

 

And please leave out the personal insults, although you are following a pattern.

We can have the same "adherence" as any other 3rd country that has an agreement with the EU and without all the political BS, add-ons and conditions too. This does not seem to be a problem for other countries. Most small UK businesses do not export to the EU and they will benefit from regulatory relief, which will reduce their costs and make them more profitable.

Scraped in with a 9 vote "majority" after being as the only nominee after several rounds of democratic backroom horse trading. Ha ha.

I am curious. What are those regulatory burdens that will be relieved? Can you be more specific?
