    Nice attempt at misrepresentation of the facts.   The news is the UK threatening to not abide by the treaty.

  • Someone's learned a new expression, haven't they. That's about the third time today you've said Perfidious Albion. Did you google it after seeing it trending on Twitter?   Anyway, if the EU

I also want my government to behave in an honourable manner and not renege on agreements.

know one has yet reneged ,  maybe the ultimate bluff but the naive cannot understand how to negotiate in tough talks , my own experience was to explain how far you are prepared to go and if the other side are prepared to take you on which was rarely the case , you stick to your guns which always lead to eventual concessions from the other side . However it is important that all of your side understand the ploy but if not involved keep out and mouth shut .

They cant.

In what universe would the EU want to blockade food from Northern Ireland? Seriously. Whats in it for the EU? Its never going to happen. It is a constructed argument made by a Brexiteer government with no credibility and no bargaining power because the UK is a small insignificant country in negotiations with a world power.

 

 

Wake up man.  

the eu are very bitter at losing the monthly payments so will stop at nothing to stop brexit final day  ,they want a very messy exit ,hence blockading beef movemnets from uk to ireland is on their agenda ..those mafias in brussels are like petty dictators drunk on power and nobody is responsible and can get kicked out of power for their actions

Yes - here's a fact: The Internal Market Bill throws back parts of the WA which could have been used to blockade NI.

And therefore we keep coming back to the same question and/or conclusion. Why then sign it? And if he didn't realise what he was signing then he is incompetent.

It got us out of the EU last January. 

Oh....... the irony.

 

It is not even a law........why would you pay any attention to a convention?

They lied to you. We dont hold all the cards. Its not the easiest trade deal in history. German car manufacturers are not going to help us. They don't need us more than we need them. 

Wake up man.  

It's an EU threat, so you should ask them why. I think it was to try and force us to take their deal. Sorry but those threats simply don't work. We will invoke the Internal Markets Bill in our own UK, without the EU meddling with our internal borders. Our cards, in our country, trump anything they can threaten.

No Deal is coming so bring it on, we don't want or need to hang onto the EU coat tails. Accept it man.

Of course they are going to vote for it.......why wouldn't they? If push came to shove they would be happier with a land border than a sea border.

 

I suspect they knew all along this was the play....I was surprised at the time how they seemed to roll over and accept what Johnson had done.........similar deal with Baker...vote for this and we will bin later.

Yes, of course they would vote for it, Good for NI and good for UK. The EU has been allowed to us the NI for too long and it's about time they were told where to get off.

Some Remainers have often said Boris has no idea and no plan. He didn't let me into his strategy, but it looks like he may have done all along, and what's more he is winning for us.

Johnson threw the DUP under the bus to get this deal and signed it in full knowledge that the EU had to protect its market....the consequence being a land or sea border.

 

TM flatly refused the option of a sea border, as she knew the consequences....Johnson signed this deal knowingly putting a border down the Irish Sea........he should never have signed it, he should never have sold it as a wonderful deal, he should never have claimed it was an oven ready deal and he should not now try to worm he way out of the deal that HE negotiated by breaking the law.

The Internal Market Bill does not in itself break the law. It puts in place a mechanism by which the UK can protect itself IF the EU decide to get nasty and make things difficult for transportation of goods to/from NI. It's an insurance policy, that's all. Assuming the EU play fair, no international law will need to be broken. 

 

I seem to remember the EU telling us we should accept Mrs May's deal with the backstop, because the backstop was simply an insurance policy that's never likely to be used. Same same. 

 

Boris' team are even smarter than I thought. Getting Brexit through the HoC by signing a WA with an unacceptable clause, knowing we can implement a law to circumvent the unacceptable clause later on. Maybe he could've whispered the plan to the DUP earlier on to save them some sleepless nights, but as they say, loose lips sink ships.

shut the borders, but remember to let those filthy rich East Euro and Arab trash in, 'cause the Tories need their bribes, corrupt banking transactions, buying up British newspapers, buying up financial interests in football players of opposing clubs...and why? because it suits nobody to adopt internationally developed regulations governing anti fraudulent banking and secret company shennanigans.

Was not talking about Arabs or East Europeans and you know that  and I am surprised that your slurring  on other countries was allowed to be published . But if the borders were shut we will have avoided all of the evils you describe . 

People in glass houses should not throw stones ,     WHY ?    French created  MONACO is a convenient tax haven for the French and goes ignored by the rest of the rotten EU , FYI companies based in Monaco pay zero taxes and corruption in your face within the EU , no need to go outside the EU  . 

Try to keep to the topic .

Monaco isn't in the EU. It has existed as a separate principality since 1297.

 

If you want to talk about tax havens, how about the Isle of Man?

 

Jersey is one of the most aggressive tax havens in the world.

Relations with the European Union

The Principality of Monaco is a third country with respect to the European Union. The Monegasque state nonetheless established a permanent relationship with the EU by accrediting an Ambassador to Brussels in 1999.

Rather convenient wouldn't you say ?    BTW we are talking about the EU and not the UK which is not a member of the EU in case you are not aware or your name is Rip Van Winkle

my error, i should have said dirty money, criminal proceeds, whichever country it comes from, into the UK. 'People in glass houses'?? ha! then you go off topic. Neither France nor Monaco are shutting their borders, other than due to the virus.  .

I almost spat my coffee on my keyboard...when I read an English man (the only country in the world that refers all others as 'Johnny Foreigners' )  telling me off for slurring other countries. 555

Monaco has a relationship with the EU (which the UK is unsuccessfully trying to establish). It is not in the EU.

The US has had an ambassador to the EU since 1961. Rather convenient wouldn't you say?

very good!

now, to state my position, as to why i beleieve that I am on topic.

My reasoning is that Brexit came about because it was driven (and possibly financed) by interested parties who did not want Britain to lose its laissez-faire approach to the flow of dubious monies coming and going through London's financial centre. Read about the latest banking scandal, involving British banks this week.  There is no way to identify the true ownership of funds flowing through off shore companies. The EU anounced that it was bringing in regulations to stop this. I do not think it is a coincidence that those promoting Brexit did so in order to keep the identity of offshore companies private. All you have to do is to look up the hard brexiteers and compare that with their business interests. Of  course I am not talking conspiracy. This group is a minority - but they held the levers of power and had a disportonate influence on the referendum results.

OK. I'll name them. Crispin Odey one of Boris Johnson's main backers. Reece-Mogg and his hedge fund colleagues.

 

This is the reason Boris has been engineering a no deal Brexit for the last 4 years:

Crispin Odey, Paul Marshall, Peter Cruddas, Jon Moynihan, Jon Wood, Robin Birley, David Lilley, Philip Harris, JCB and The Bristol Port Company are a few names to conjure with.
