February 1, 20206 yr Popular Post Why have so many people forgot that the UK was doing ok before we joined the market, The Common Market was supposed to be a benefit for UK trading, But all that changed when certain MP's were prepared to sell the UK into a Federal Europe, That's when alarm bells began to ring for the British people. When British MP's wanted to change the way the way the EU was run, Brussels would not listen, hence the long awaited referendum, Now the EU wants to make things as difficult as possible, the Fishing Policy has been brought to the front of the table, which is to be the first stumbling block in negotiations, if they don't work out for Britain, then the negotiators might just as well walk out, and quit talking to the EU, There is never going to be deal with Europe, because they want it all their own way. Bearing in mind that Macron is more German than British, there is no hope of a friendly solution. and of course, the German's, won't have any sympathy either.

No international flights will be able to land in the UK 2. Immediate shortage of medicines 3. Immediate food shortage resulting in mass starvation 4. Riots, looting and political turmoil 5. Financial collapse and stock market crash 6. All European citizens kicked out of the country, effective immediately (especially the non-white ones) 7. Chaos at our borders 8. Streets of London will be deserted 9. Super gonorrhea outbreaks in UK And Brexiteers are the ones being compared to "The People's Front of Judea"...? I think you know fine well that every one of your first seven points is either a vast exaggeration or over-simplification of the concerns about what might have happened if we had crashed out of the EU with no deal (which would also have meant no transition arrangement). The last two though, are just completely made up. As others have already pointed out, we have now entered a one year transition period during which - at least to start with, nothing really changes. Whether or not (and to what extent) some of the other concerns might materialise now depends on what the final, long-term deal consists of.

The E.U. want it only keeping it as they do all along , not dancing on the hand of a leaver , and about walking out …. you hold now the divorce papers in hand and still you stand in the doorway like 3 years already ...lol A leaving party in any dispute is supposed to heading to a better future they see for them .... not trying to change the "household" they are leaving ...

February 1, 20206 yr Popular Post What a bunch of arrogant d1kcheads, headed by yet another crook. Lets wait and see; as a non-European I am banking on the UK; after getting things sorted you will see in two, three years from now, how the UK will be heading back to its rightful position. The EU needs more from the UK then vice versa and for the UK it is comforting to know, that they can deal with the entire rest of Planet Earth without listening to those hogs in Bruxelles who breathe down the UK neck all the time ......... Put the UK back to where it was prior to 1973 - I, for one, believe in their independence and abilities ????

Let's not forget the soon coming "cliffedge" decision of June 30 when then UK PM will decide if he or she wishes to continue transition period for further 12 or 24 months. Let's also not forget that during this transition period, UK EU relation has changed only the way that UK is now officially a vassal state of EU domination. It's going to be hilarious to see how long the people of Wangland will allow this to go on.

February 1, 20206 yr 9 minutes ago, david555 said: You mean this timetable only 6 month's negotiation time in real...? Pretty much so. It depends how far are the negotiations by that time. In reality it means that there is no any kind of comprehensive deal between EU and UK by the time transition period ends. I'm pretty sure EU is already preparing for this eventuality. It's also natural that now, that UK has finally Brexited, EU nations will start openly asking for companies based in UK, to move to the continent where they can still have access to the EU markets. Brexiteers got what they wanted. They just didn't understood what they wanted really was about.

February 1, 20206 yr 16 hours ago, Rookiescot said: Absolutely deluded. Yes I believe those who gave out the political rhetoric during the referendum should be held to account over what is actually delivered. Or are you saying it was all lies? Because I can believe that. The pound has lost value against the Euro since the referendum. But you knew that already. Soon to be 6th largest. And it depends on how you measure it. Tax legislation? Ah now we are getting to the crux of the matter. Brexit is and always was about the ability of the rich to evade tax in the face of tightening EU legislation over tax havens. Free floating currency? The UK never lost that. Global trade deals from a position of weakness. The biggest financial powerhouse is already moving assets to Frankfurt, Paris and Dublin. All that remains will be passported at the expense of the fishermen you lauded so much in the referendum. Eu regulations? You mean EU standards that you are quite happy to see the UK undercut and spiral to the bottom. Along with workers rights. The UK lost. Rich tax evading fatcats won. Interesting.
