Pathetic. Not at all. I wrote that you believed what you were voting for and I believed in what I was voting for. The fact is that now "project fear" predictions seem to be coming true but the projections that the Brexit campaign made are further away than ever. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The essence of what you wrote is that your own opinion is the right one and that mine is wrong. Now you are entitled to your own opinion but don't expect broad agreement with it. What PF predictions (glad you admit that you own them) have actually come true and what Brexit "projections" are so far away from happening? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other countries make payments to another country to have a free trade deal? It's not for a trade deal, it's for mutual recognition of standards and is the cost of establishing and policing those standards. Without it every shipment to the EU needs individual certification that it matches their standards. This ends up more expensive for the exporter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Johnson and the Brexiteers face reality and capitulate or its a no deal Brexit. The question is CAN they actually face reality and admit they are the smaller party in these trade talks and hence all the nonsense spouted about "we will hold all the cards" was nothing but bluster. I dont think they can. They will keep on denying what is obvious and simply wrap that union flag around themselves ever tighter. Of course when the shock of what they have caused finally hits they will lash out and blame anyone but themselves for the economic disaster they voted for. Should be a laugh a minute on these boards when that happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think your comment relates to that -does it? It depends on what sort of trade deal they want. The UK was asking for something similar to what it had before which would have had mutual recognition and the costs and responsibilities (level playing field) that that involves. A looser deal, just on tariffs could be done without those costs, but it's not as good for UK exporters and messes up NI again. It's the UK wanting the benefits of membership without being a member again.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL So you still believe the UK holds all the cards? It will be the easiest trade deal in history? German car manufacturers will not allow no deal? They need us more than we need them? No-one is threatening our place in the single market? We will be just like Norway and Switzerland? There will be no downside to voting for Brexit? I really love quoting all those Brexiter slogans back to you guys. All that bluster. All that bravado. Where are we now? Yeah reality sucks dont it?

evadgib Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 We can expect snakes-and-ladders from this lot right the way through til January; and if a Ferry is so much as an hour late on say 2nd, 3rd or 4th of January (as is usual due to weather at that time of year) we can expect a unilateral 'I TOLD YOU SO' as their final throw of the dice in what is always a 'no news' time of year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
