So Farage, Johnson and Gove were all lying or mistaken when they all said a trade deal with the EU would be the easiest trade deal negotiated in history.

Yes - lying

Does this then mean that the EU negotiators were too demanding when the UK looked for a fair deal, or just not up to the task, or perhaps were dragging out the process in the hope of a U turn which did not appear.

Either way if a powerful group such as the EU could not provide a few concessions to pave the way for a satisfactory solution probably not as economically sound as they would like to appear, who is to say they were looking for a fair deal at all, now find they have 'dug in too deep' and cannot be seen to 'weaken'

 

 

It's the UK who does not adhere to previously made agreements. It is an unreliable country.
I personally support closing the borders with the UK. Nothing in, nothing out, and all the British in Europe back to the UK.

Don't fall for the lie that Brexit has even close to universal popularity in the UK. Only a little more than a third of the electorate voted for it.

Hey, the general election sorted any doubt about what the UK populace wanted, that is as plain as day for anyone to see, even for you EU folk posting here....

 

So your post is a little off, don't you think.

 

Plus, you EU flag wavers have become very tiresome, although rather amusing, telling us UK folk about our impending downfall when looking at things it seems the EU is heading to just that, failure... 

 

Personally I have no doubt what the UK populace wanted either from the referendum or the GE and that was to leave the EU. 

 

My concern is the consequences of that vote to leave (accepted) with with no plan as to what to do.

Cummings message boy Frost has been instructed to avoid meaningful negotiations, Hard Brexit was always Cumming's choice, he is a wrecker like Bannon.

Perfectly true....but it simply isn't an argument against the result. All you can hope for is that if we have a referendum in the future (on anything) people think about what they want carefully and get out and vote.

Brexit has happened but it's not the UK folk who voted for it in the referendum or in the GE,it's the English who voted for and want it not the UK.

'Four years after Brexit, support for the EU surges in Britain'

 

"Four years on from the UK's Brexit vote, a majority of British voters would now opt to remain inside the European Union, says new research.

According to the European Social Survey (ESS), a pan-European poll carried out every two years, 56.8% of respondents in the UK indicated that they would vote to remain inside the bloc, an increase from 49.9% the last time the survey was published in 2018. The most recent survey shows that of those questioned in the UK, 34.9% said they would vote to leave and 8.3% said they would not vote at all."

Those polls are probably run by the same people that said Hillary was going to win the 2016 USA election. Uk has left...deal with it!

I seem to remember the Labour Party saying that they would honour the 'Democratic' vote of the UK, and while we're at it so did the Lib/Dems, but it was only the Tories that didn't renege on the vote of our electorate. Upholding a democratic vote, oh how awful.

As the Rolling Stones said, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and coming out with posts like "one of the most ridiculed nations on earth" and the rest, is purely sour grapes from a very poor loser.

Nothing to do with your divorce either, it is to do with British folk getting their country and waters back, plus try to deal with each other fairly.

Now you, will have to take care of the countries that have nothing, you...So you, stop bickering here and think about what you will probably have to cough up on us leaving, and you will... ????

 

aren't you tired of the same old, they want to leave, good bye bye but instead they keep asking for this and for that and one week is same deal as Canada, the next week is same deal as Swiss, a week later is the same deal but including icebergs now it's same deal as Australia, come on man, move on or move out, nobody has to negotiate anything, your guys are not that important, just to help you figure it out and you will know who has something to lose.....

Hardly worth bothering, only 3 or 4 countries to trade with, the other 23 countries buy <deleted> all off us....that 450 million trade block is in reality about 200 million, so not so big after all

stop asking for this and for that, want a deal like this and a deal like that, more of this and less of that, it's tiring, just leave and don't let the door hit you on the back, trust me, there are no sour grapes on the other side of the channel, they are just tired of dealing with somebody who don't know what they want

Were you aware of the single market/Norway/WTO issues at all?......Just out of interest....I'm not going anywhere with this! And could also ask why the Germans? I would say the French are equally influential and maybe the UK was the most influential of all.

For someone who is not bothered and sarcastally says "don't let the door hit you on the back" I would have to say you come across as very bothered.
