Brexit: Boris Johnson urges Tory MPs to back bill amid stand-off with EU 
Boris Johnson insists there is still a good chance of getting a trade deal despite Brussels' anger over UK legislation.


By Andy Hayes, news reporter Saturday 12 September 2020 10:43, UK

 

 

Boris Johnson has urged Conservative MPs to support Brexit-related legislation which his government has admitted breaks international law.
Addressing about 250 MPs on Friday evening, the prime minister said the controversial UK Internal Market Bill was necessary in order to avoid "an economic barrier down the Irish Sea".

 

He added that certain clauses in it are "absolutely vital to protecting the integrity of our country".
The bill overrides parts of the EU divorce deal, and has sparked fury in Brussels, which has threatened legal action over what it considers a violation of an international treaty.


The controversy deepened while the call with MPs was going on, with European Parliament leaders saying they would "under no circumstances ratify" any trade deal reached if "UK authorities breach or threaten to breach" the Withdrawal Agreement.

Oh please. The problem with rewriting history is that you have to wait till everyone who was around at the time to die off.

We both know those were the arguments made by the eave campaign as to why the UK would "win" any trade negotiations. 

Anything you say otherwise is disingenuous at best. 

Who in the leave campaign stated that the "UK would dictate the terms of withdrawal" 

As you will not state WHO said that , I will just come to the conclusion that you made that up and no one actually claimed that .

What it is called is completely irrelevant. It breaks international law, a fact acknowledged by Brandon Lewis.

Who cares what a lawyer acknowledges? They'll acknowledge anything they're paid to acknowledge. Lawyers are professional liars. I don't know why he's spit his dummy over this and don't really care. There will be another one along soon who says it's not breaking any law.

Anyway enjoyable as this all is, I've got things to do. Robbing a bank actually. I'll be stealing the £50 notes but leaving the rest.  I accept that this breaks the law but it's only in "a specific and limited way" so, no doubt, all the  'Internal Bill' supporters, with their unique interpretation of the law, will be offering their help to me when I'm charged?

Indeed yes and those plucky Brexiteers will, with minimal charge, allow you to invest those 50 pounds notes in offshore accounts thus saving you any tax which might be accrued.

Johnson, despicably, now seems to be doing just that. He's encouraging the UK to break it's legally binding contract with the EU for no valid legal reason.

 

He should be forced to resign and prosecuted.

The people have not turned against Brexit, but are even more behind it than ever. It only takes a few foreign Johnnies to get above themselves and the UK people unite. We've had the advisory nonsense too many times already - forget it, you lost and Brexit is happening.

We will see, when EU veterinarian rules + agricultural levies make export of British meat into the EU close to impossible. WTO import duty for goods from UK into the EU are levied, when British have to line up for a Schengen visa, and international driving licence + car + health insurances, curious how many British are still in favour for Brexit, and support Boris the Liar.

Not from me. There's plenty of Euros and Remainers who will have strung you up before you have been tried or mitigation heard. They are very quick when the pitchforks are out.
Another Remainer less for the TVF topics.

"He will also be setting out that as a responsible government we must provide a safety net which removes any ambiguity and ensures that the government can always deliver on its commitments to the people of Northern Ireland," the spokesman said.

it sure protects the people of NI and incites them to go back to the old days of "black" market and maybe restart fighting ignoring the good friday peace deal... BJ is not concerned about economics, if the economics were he's worries, the deal would have been completed long time ago, BJ Only concern is to please a small bunch of brexiters and show them he stays by his "misleading" campaign, nothing to do with economics, trade deal and so forth, the French got it right when they deeply dissected his actions/behavioral disorder

Now that plan would make you a trendsetter. As such the Judge would see you as Senior and obviously let you off

It is now more than seven months since this country left the EU on Jan 31, and since then we have been working hard to build what I am sure will be a great new future relationship. We want a thoroughgoing free-trade deal....

Nothing to do with being in or out. We signed a withdrawal agreement accepting the terms.

Boris trumpeted it, a great deal, he said.

This bill will also fuel nationalism in Scotland and Wales as it reduces the power of their assemblies.

Oh I should imagine the world (a "wold" is something very different, an upland forest in rolling countryside - but then I acknowledge that English is not your first language, not withstanding your evident and often voiced enthusiasm for condemning our political process) is watching with some interest the EU's attempts to dictate matters to a sovereign nation which is no longer a member, Of course how they regard it will depend upon their own political stance. If they are upholders of democracy, parliamentary and national sovereignty they will probably quite understand and approve. If they are of the mind which yearns for an unelected Franco-German hegemony, dictating a sclerotic continental economic protection racket then they will no doubt think as you do!.

I tried but Boris wasn't at home, the lights were out as usual 

Boris sacked 21 Tory MPs who refused to vote for the WA.

So they were right after all! Surely they should be reinstated with Boris prostrating himself at their feet for his stupidity?
