 the same as  the U. K. delayed ...hoping the E.U. would give in on the U.K. wishes...?

 

same same just bit different ????

UK did not delay, we had a hung parliament that couldn't get the WA agreed, You know, that document the EU insisted was settled before any trade negotiations were entered into, hence all the extensions and 11th hour push.

.unless the UK decides 1/to give time and 2/expertise for a line-by-line negotiation. 

You've had nearly 5 years to negotiate it, but the EU wanted to drag it out until the WA was settled.

 

There was no reason on Gods earth why the 2 issues could not run concurrently.

The still advertised as the common market was referring to the 1975 United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum

I am not aware of any Scottish independence referendum that took place in 1975 but if there was one maybe you could provide a link

Not sure what you mean referencing 1975.

There was of course a referendum on Scottish devolution in 1979. It was passed by 52% to 48% but then perfidious Albion decided that was not enough because it didnt take into account the votes which would have been cast by dead people who would all have voted no. Also people who did not vote at all were also considered to have voted no.

But somehow your hypocrisy blinds you to that fact. 

Excuse me, but Scotland are part of the UK, and the UK voted to leave the EU.

The reason it ran on so long is because the Conservative party could not agree on which version of Brexit they wanted.

Ceta is no good for the UK. It never was. It does not cover financial services. It does not cover fishing. It does not cover a myriad of things that the UK needs or the EU needs.

Why do you guys hold the Canada trade agreement aloft like its the holy grail?

It was never going to be relevant to the UK. It was also never mentioned during the leave campaigns lies and false promises.

Leave told us we would be remaining in the single market with a Norway type deal.

 

 

Take the blinkers off, it was offered in the early days as a Canada+++ deal. I imagine the +++ are the add ons you refer to.

You take the blinkers off. Compare what Vote Leave was telling us and where we are now.

Brexit would never have been voted for if people had known then what they know now.

Vote leave lied. Where is our easiest trade deal in history which keeps us in the single market?

So I take it as a No then there was no Scottish independence referendum in 1975 so the comment reference to the 1975

United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum  at the time the membership was for remaining in the common market so the comment "The still advertised as the common market" was correct

I was refering to the 2014 referendum where we were told voting yes meant leaving the EU. Voting NO meant staying in the EU. Then the English nationalists took us out of the EU anyway.

Someone else mentioned 1975. You need to go back and reread the posts.

Means Brexiteers are finally coming to terms with the break up of the UK they helped facilitate.

No you are the person that needs to reread the posts the post that stated "still advertised as the common market" was a reply to someone that was talking about the 1975 United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum

You made the mistake of replying to that post with a post regarding the 2014 Scottish independence referendum

My point still stands. Nauseus was claiming they were promised one thing but something else was delivered.
