 The Brexiteer definition of EU bullying: "The bastards wont give us what we were promised by Vote.Leave; all the benefits of membership without the responsibilities!"

 

It was us who left; the EU don't have to give us anything!

That definition was written by you. Nobody has to give anybody anything  ... but you know it makes sense if they do!

Written by me in response to your and other's constant whinging about EU bullying because they wont kowtow to the UK!

 

Yes, the EU would prefer, even need, a deal; but we need them a lot more than they need us.

Really? Looking back at the last 4 years I recall far more bullying (and disrespect) from the EU side. I don't really think we need them much at all but the immediate difficulty in leaving is because we have been a member of this increasingly tangled and corrupted mess of a web for so long.

 

I'm just happy we avoided the Euro or that would have been that.

(Johnson) confirmed the UK's commitment to exploring every avenue

I think he must have been down every avenue by now. He cannot force them into a deal, so let them eventually run the clock down and come home No Deal.

 

Another thing about the avenues - why did the French plant all those trees along them?

Running down the clock?

Why does he keep ignoring his own deadlines then?

I can't recall any examples of bullying by anyone on ether side. Nor disrespect; except from Farage, but no one takes him seriously. 

 

But no doubt you can provide some examples.

As has been shown many times throughout all these Brexit topics; many businesses, manufacturers etc. in the UK disagree with you.

 

No-deal Brexit would be “one crisis too many” for small firms as FSB appeals for state aid

 

What has been the impact of Brexit so far? Has the damage been done?

We left on the 31/12/20; don't you remember?

 

What these negotiations are about is a trade deal!

We didn't 'avoid' the Euro; we, like Denmark, chose not to join.

 

A decision with which, like you, I agreed.

They are all sweetness and light those EU leaders aren't they?

Especially when they can't get their own way.

Now it's an EU deadline who's clock he's running down.

Just sitting back and watching, no capitulation, no french fishing, no deal and out.

my vote and my call? not so sure of that, am comfortable with leaving the final heat to BJ and his pommies

 

yes I know about the Walloon parliament, and I also know about some of the parliametarian rights of  your German

speaking minority

Belgium, one of the oddest countries in Europe, even the moule eating croakers had to give in at the end.

Sure, can be done again, holding up, but nee way your croakers will succeed in ditching a deal if ever reached,

croakers can be stubborn and prinicipal and moules doesn't give that much strength . . .

me thinks

 

no need to be agreed?

if a so called deal is to surface of course it must be agreed

 

have a go at Gewurztraminer with your next moule aioli, pretty tasty on a Wednersday

 

I dont know why the winning ( ? ) brexiteers are making so much fuzz out of it so close to your victory ,even .....should be dancing on the streets by now ????

 

For me i am satisfied they dont give in , as the game of trying your ways outside E.U. while you could not achieve it from the inside ..... take your red bus money and let us finally go for 100 % for our own things to handle ,4 years brexitting is more than enough time waisted for a leaving group who still stands in the doorway  yelling ...we are goooing !....we left already !....but still trying to get what is not to possible to get .....pathetic ????

A true man of his word ...

????????????????????????

Boris Johnson will delay decision on quitting Brexit trade talks

However, the Prime Minister warned the EU had to agree to round-the-clock talks or he would carry out his threat to trade on WTO terms

 

By James Crisp, Brussels Correspondent 14 October 2020 • 8:30pm

 

Boris Johnson will delay a decision on whether to quit the Brexit trade negotiations until after the European Council summit ends on Friday, after it became clear his no-deal deadline will be missed on Thursday. ...

 

I find the decision of Mr. Johson, brave.

The wellness of the U. K. as major goal, not only to please a minority. 

I suppose Mr. Johnson will be hated now by the Hard  Brexiteers.

Or maybe they will tell us here, it is part of a cunning plan.

Mr. Johnson just gave in.

 

It is my opinion that Mr. Macron will have to give in as well.

 

Of course, every decision made can be presented as a victory. 

 

Sure some will be prepare to swallow it. 

 

But any decision taken for the benefit of all, is a good thing in my opinion. 

 

Even if sometimes it is at the cost of the pride of a minority.

As I predicted Johnson has just U turned on his own deadline.

Where is the usual bluff and bluster now?

Posted the 11th Oct., today the 18th Oct. old News. Why always pick on the French,

the EU has 27 States, in case the UK didn't know!
