And you don't? of course we would like to see the UK get a good deal from the EU, if the EU doesn't want to get a good deal from the UK can I suggest there is something lacking in their approach to these 'negotiations'. Barnier is not looking for a deal, he sees this as a perfect opportunity to hurt the UK and indeed split up the UK and is quite prepared to cut his own nose off to spite his face. If that doesn't warrant a change in leaders, what does?

 

 What are you suggesting? Is Barnier (1) acting independently or (2) under instruction from the 27 EU states?

 

If (1) then I rather think that the EU would have removed him by now, don't you? If (2) then according to your logic, countries such as Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands to mention just three, have embarked on a voyage of self-harm.

 

Politicians in Ireland might wish the island of Ireland to be united, and Spain might see an opportunity re Gilbrator if the UK were to split up, but what's in it for the other 25 countries? Are France and Germany about to seize UK colonies in Africa and Asia? Is the Netherlands about to reclaim New Amsterdam? Newsflash, Vogie: It's the 21st century, not the 18th, 19th or early 20th.

EU revenge plot: BBC's Katya Adler exposes Brussels' plan to wipe out UK industries

THE BBC's Katya Adler has outlined the EU's threat to wipe out Britain's agricultural, car and financial industries if Britain defies Brussels again.

I told you what I voted for. No single market. No customs union. Regain control of fishing. No ECJ. No level playing field. I'd prefer FTA to WTO but that's way down the list of priorities. EU trade levels with China prove what can be done without an FTA. A Billion Euros a day.   

 

I don't care how it looks to the EU. Couldn't give a toss. Not a single <deleted> given. Believe me, we'll be delighted to see the finally be out of there.

Right so we are agreed then.

No deal it is.

Lets get on with it shall we?

No point in any more negotiations.

Boris Johnsons record on Brexit says quite the opposite, and you probably realise this anyway, just because he is driving the car and he aint going in your direction then all you have left is name calling.

Hardly name calling, more an opinion. 

 

The car hasn't been going in my direction since June 2016, but I had hoped to arrive at my destination unharmed. Sadly, with Johnson at the wheel, it doesn't look I will.

 

If you think that a breakdown in the relationship with our closest neighbours, (and the complete mismanagement of a pandemic to boot) qualify as success then, yes, this government has done a fine job.

Not necessarily because...

 

...his mandate is to protect the single market, which is worth much more than the 7-8% UK market. 
 

He’s just the frontman representing the 27 nations, so they can focus on the real issues — Russia, China, Covid, etc. 

 

This FT article is quite on point: Germany has more pressing concerns than Brexit: Viewed from Berlin, it would be dangerous and self-defeating to agree a Brexit deal that undermines the single market. As the Germans see it, allowing the UK tariff and quota-free access to that market — while exempting the country from the EU’s state-aid regulations and border controls — would pose an unacceptable threat to Europe’s legal order, prosperity and unity.”

 

And “if you want to hear British-style understatement these days, you need to go to Germany. The political atmosphere in London is hysterical and insular. It is the Germans who are thinking globally and whose maxim now seems to be: “keep calm and carry on”.

You haven’t learned by now that one of the many incompetences of Brexiteers is that they don’t think about the consequences of their doings but run to their moms crying foul when they got a bloody nose. And this is just a warning shot. The big guns will come later when those thugs actually go through with their threats to break international law. No trade deal, fines and sanctions will be a different game than this diplomatic hint.

Boris has just explained that one of the reasons he’s about to severely downgrade the UK’s credibility (again) is the current withdrawal agreement to which he signed up to COULD lead to a 100% tariff on Devonshire Clotted Cream !! So at least you know he’s taking care of the serious stuff ????

I strongly suggest the EU will be more worried about stuff like chlorine washed chicken. Its illegal in the EU and they will not want it entering its borders via the UK.

But of course Brexiteers have now claimed that ALL foodstuffs will be banned unless they renege on the WA.

To a large extent yes, agree. But also the memory of a great past played a major part. But same as everywhere, also for the UK the past can't be brought back.

Kate Hoey is a person of Northern Ireland is she not? She understands it and I don't have to tell her, she's telling it to everybody.

 

She is one person in Northern Ireland. As already shown to you, most Northern Ireland politicians disagree with her. Even the Ulster Unionists. Although the DUP's Arlene Foster has now decided to back him; I wonder at what cost; as much or more than May promised?

 

Hoey's accuracy track record isn't very great: Fact check: Kate Hoey’s claims about the EU

That’s what Brexit-backing Labour MP Kate Hoey told the Express at a Labour Leave event last week.

But two out of three of her claims are wrong.

WA written by Dominic Cummings?? You have no idea - Angela Merkel's backroom boys wrote it. After more EU lack of good faith in the transition period, Boris has overwritten and clarified it by the Internal Market Bill.

Where were you when Boris prorogued Parliament because they didn't accept this withdrawal agreement?

 

Where were you when Johnson called a back me or sack me general election after Parliament still refused to accept this agreement?

 

Where were you when Johnson announced this agreement as his and told us all how wonderful it was for the UK?

 

It is you who has no idea.

The EU's clutches have tightened over 40 years. Boris's bill is levering off its' last fingers from the EU's possible NI trade blockade.

 

Your breaking an agreement nonsense is just EU and Remainer howls of fake outrage, mostly because Boris (and Dominic?)  has beaten you all yet again. The world can see this and will disregard the EU to continue trading with us. That's good for the UK.

You really must pay attention.

 

Johnson signed an agreement which he hailed at the time as "a "fantastic moment" for the country, saying the signing was "a fantastic moment, which finally delivers the result of the 2016 referendum" (source).

 

That agreement was enshrined in UK law via the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020

 

Now he's decided for some reason to ignore all of that; decided to break that agreement, break UK law. 

 

23 hours ago, Loiner said:

Anything that overrides the Remainers is good for the UK

You have still refused to answer how Johnson proving to the world that he is not only ready and willing to ignore an international agreement he previously hailed as a triumph but in so doing is also read y and willing to ignore an Act passed by his own government is good for the UK.

 

Obviously, you can't; because it isn't.

 

23 hours ago, Loiner said:

I don't really know what your country is, but if you try to say the UK you are obviously lying about your allegiances.

My allegiances are as explained to you many times; to the country I was born in, the country I live in, the country my father spent 6 years of his life defending: the UK.

 

But you have forgotten that; just as you have forgotten your enthusiastic support for the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol last year and in January this year when Johnson was telling you how wonderful it was!

 Your grammar and typing means you should be careful about criticising others; and it's UK, not uk!

 

The whole agreement, including the Northern Ireland Protocol, is enshrined in UK law via Johnson's European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020

 

Of course, Parliament can repeal that Act, but until it so does it is the law. UK law because of the Act; international law as the agreement is an international treaty.
