And playing devil's advocate, even if it were the case, the possibility could have been foreseen in January.

 

Back to the same old questions: Either Johnson didn't know what he was signing and/or he had no intention of keeping to the WA.

 

At least it's a consistent argument. By the same token, no doubt, you are of the opinion that the breakdown in the trade talks is therefore due to the UK government not acting in 'good faith'? I thought that this was the charge that Brexiters were levelling at the EU?

Yes, definitely the case, the EU thought they had pulled one over us. Apparently not though, Boris was ready with the upper hand in the IMB. Back to the same old answer, I don't know or care what Boris knew at the time. He used the WA to meet his promise to 'Get Brexit Done' and his IMB continues to ensure that. Why ask the same old question again which 49 kept asking and getting the same answer. Maybe you didn't see because you have him on ignore, I know many people do.

 

No, I'm of the opinion that the breakdown, if or when it officially comes, will be due to the EU trying to cheat their way to a bad deal for the UK, which Boris has overthrown. Whether the UK govt acts in Good Faith, Bad Faith or Percy Faith with the EU, I don't care so long as we are safely extricated from the EU.

When it is part of your country you lease it never give it away permanently. We are claiming it back, so better get use to it.

It doesn't matter what it is part of, your country or anything else. The fishing rights were OWNED by the fishing companies. The English ones SOLD over 50% of them to someone else, it doesn't matter who. They didn't  LEASE them, or "Give them away".  Unless you don't understand your native language, there is a difference between selling something and leasing it. Candide explained that the whole quota thing it is more complicated, but the part we sold, we can't get back, we can buy it back if it is for sale of course. There are some parts of the overall quota that could be returned, that is different.

So brexit was born .

 

 

the conservative mps who insisted on a referendum were merely reminding cameron to keep his pre election promise to hold a referendum,something cameron was hoping to duck out of,and with a little help from nigel and his red bus democracy prevailed,power to the people whilst the rest of the eu wallow in self pity.

Got an example of "the EU trying to cheat their way to bad deal for the UK"? Please don't offer the 'blockage'. That's already been discredited.

The threatened blockage is exactly the way EU is trying to force the UK into a bad deal. It cannot be discredited by anything you read in The Grauniad.

Thousands of Britons living in the EU will have their UK bank accounts closed by the end of the year because of the UK’s failure to agree a post-Brexit trade deal.

Lloyds, Barclays and Coutts have informed retail and business customers that they will lose their accounts before or when the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December and more banks are expected to follow suit.

Lloyds Banking Group, which includes Halifax and Bank of Scotland, has contacted its 13,000 customers in the Netherlands, Slovakia, Germany, Ireland and Portugal, warning them they must make alternative arrangements as the bank is no longer allowed to offer services.

Of course not. It must be true. The Daily Express, well known for headlines based on statistical valid surveys, says so.

Not half as much as for the Remainers who thought their cosy status quo in the EU would go on forever. 

Should be no great shakes for any of them to have sorted both local and their continued UK banking if they still need it.

I’m not aware the French are in breach of any laws, but as I said: Take legal action if you feel your rights have been infringed by someone. That’s what I do, that’s what everyone I know does, that’s what the EU will do, that’s what you can do too.

‘many who are against being British’?

 

You’ll presumably have no problem explaining what ‘against being British’ is and then be able to provide evidence based examples of the many who you claim are ‘against being British’.

 

When you’ve done that we’ll address your assertion that this ‘against being British’ thing of yours is somehow ‘racist’.

Theresa May says 'reckless' Brexit bill risks UK's reputation

Ex-PM says internal market bill could lead to a united Ireland and undermine trust in UK

Theresa May has launched a blistering attack on the government’s plan to give itself powers to renege on the special arrangements for Northern Ireland in the Brexit deal.

 

She described the plans as “reckless” and “irresponsible” and said they “risked the integrity of the United Kingdom”, as they would not only tarnish Britain’s reputation globally as an upholder of the law but could contribute to a reunited Ireland.

What EU threat to walk against away from talks? When was the threat made? To whom? No quotes, no sources.

 

To call it shoddy journalism would be generous. 'Shoddy' is too mild a word to describe this drivel, and it hardly qualifies as journalism.

No need to stick with The Guardian; we're spoilt for choice when it comes to reputable news sources reporting on Johnson's dismal performance. Personally, I prefer that Trotskyist journal, the FT. Any number of articles describing Johnson's failings to choose from.
